About this trip

Modern life has us on the go, attached to technology and focused externally. At the same time, we’re often isolated from others and disconnected from ourselves. Together let’s retreat in a beautiful setting, practice daily yoga, slow down and remember who we are and what’s important. 


If you have family or friends whom you’ve longed to reconnect or feel more intimate with, this retreat is for you and them. Connect, restore and recalibrate with daily yoga, group games, inspiring readings, savory and fresh local cuisine, rejuvenating massages, bike rides, hiking, boat rides to unspoiled beaches, and seaside reflection. You will feel rejuvenated and touched by the gentle culture of Portugal and by remembering how enriching being together with old and new friends can truly be.


Situated in the southernmost region of Portugal known as the Algarve, this retreat oasis has been named one of the top 10 retreat locations in the world three times by Travel & Leisure and recently by Conde Nast’s Traveller magazine as “Best Yoga Retreats in the World”. Located in the heart of Olhão’s old town, the fabulous markets and a wide selection of family run restaurants are within easy walking distance of the house – as are the ferries and taxis to the outlying islands. This grand casa boasts 12 beautifully designed rooms blending old world Moorish flare with modern amenities. It’s the perfect place to retreat and replenish.

Reviews

This retreat was truly transformational. Every detail was considered from the location, to the home, to the activities. Crystal is masterful in teaching yoga and paying attention to the uniqueness of each of the students. And Nikki made the process seamless. And I truly loved getting to know all of the amazing women on the retreat, and eating the most delicious food ever. It was so much fun and I can’t wait to return next year!

This trip was transformative! The venue, the food, the excellent yoga instruction, the people…100/10! Top tier trip.
By Joy D for Together: A Yoga Retreat in Southern Portugal with Crystal McCreary on Mar 30, 2025
The venue itself was an adventure. Beautiful attention to detail from location, chef, connection and of course yoga. Nikki is the cherry on top. Her responsiveness and caring attitude will leave you feeling more than taken care of. You will not be disappointed. 💛
By Danika L for Together: A Yoga Retreat in Southern Portugal with Crystal McCreary on Mar 30, 2025
This was an amazing experience! We had the confluence of great everything: setting, people, food, and energy. Crystal is a special talent. Her yoga practice is open, accessible, and responsive. Her explanations make sense and were easy to follow (though the body wasn't always willing . . . ). I do not have a strong yoga practice and really enjoyed the work, even when it was strenuous and challenging (which it often was:)) And she's a therapist so added so much richness and context to our conversations and personal engagements. A remarkable human being. Case Fuzetta is a beautiful space in southern Portugal. Olhao is a charming coastal fishing community with a great vibe and lovely residents. The chef Ricardo was top notch. Nikki Estrada, who owns Curated Yoga Retreats, was with us and could not have been more gracious, more open, more lovely. A kind and thoughtful soul. And the women in the group brought their A game. Thoughtful, kind, funny, generous, vulnerable, and open to the many experiences. We quickly connected and clicked. We laughed. And laughed. And laughed some more. A truly outstanding group of people.

A five star experience. Of course, the yoga was fantastic: paradoxically uplifting & grounding. Accommodations were luxurious. The food was beyond amazing; I do not know how Mhairi created exquisite meal after meal. But the real cherry were the people. Nikki attracts very wholesome & authentic souls. What a blessing to come home with real friends.
