An Exceptional Retreat That Exceeded All Expectations My experience at Wild View Retreat truly exceeded all of my expectations—so much so that I’ve already in the process of booking my return for next year. Seeing so many guests come back year after year really speaks volumes about the quality of this retreat. Traveling from Canada was incredibly easy, with a direct flight from Toronto to Faro, Portugal. From there, everything felt seamless. The retreat’s location in the Algarve is absolutely stunning—very private and peaceful, creating the perfect environment to unwind and reset. The program itself is outstanding. From the educational sessions to yoga and fitness classes, everything is led by experienced, highly professional instructors who clearly love what they do. The staff are not only professional but also warm, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. One of the most memorable aspects was the sense of connection that developed between both the clients and the staff. The bonds formed during my stay are something I will truly cherish and take with me. Having attended several retreats across Canada and the United States over the years, I can confidently say this one stands above them all—I need look no further. What made the experience even more meaningful was the opportunity to meet the owner, who shared the incredible story of transforming an abandoned village in the hills into this beautiful retreat. His passion and dedication are evident in every detail. For anyone considering traveling alone, I cannot recommend this place enough. It is extremely safe—I didn’t even feel the need to lock my door, which says a lot, especially compared to back home. Overall, an unforgettable experience. I’m already looking forward to returning.

I had an absolutely incredible stay at Wild View Retreat. Danny, Rose, Milly, and Nic were all amazing—they created such a warm, welcoming, and supportive environment. The whole team was fantastic and I loved every workout and activity with them. I made wonderful friends there and it was one of the best retreats I have ever been to. I will definitely be going back again!!

Absolutely brilliant, I highly recommend Wild View. The retreat is in a beautiful remote area. The food is exceptional. The schedule is busy but optional, and the staff were fantastic…. Thank you Amanda, Carin, Catherine and Karen…. Oh and the amazing Imi!

I've just completed a Healthy Food Week at Wildview Retreat. I went by myself and loved it! The location is wonderful, and there is something here for everyone - whether you are interested in yoga, fitness / wellness, nutrition or just wanting some time away to reset and meet new people. There is no pressure to join every class, and you can relax by the pool all day if you wish! Everything was really well organised: the retreat leads and teachers were super friendly, energetic and very knowledgeable. I really enjoyed the morning walks. The food was so so good too - varied, nourishing, wholesome and delicious (thank you Imi!). I have come home feeling rested and rejuvenated, thank you Amanda, Catherine, Karen and Carin for the best week!

The most amazing week as always!! Me and my Mum are fortunate enough to go to Wildview Retreat every year and it never fails to amaze us. Each year we have had a different team leading us and each year they always manage to exceed our expectations. Every class accommodates everyone, I have been on weeks where the age range is 22-80 years of age! I have done both juice week and food week and each are so revitalising for their own reasons. If you're looking for a place to relax, feel nourished with amazing food or juices and to be with amazing company, this is honestly the place for you! See you next year Wild View 🤍

Wonderful retreat What a wonderful find in the Algarve hills for a truly relaxing, healing and rejuvenating week. Beautiful views, comfortable rooms and lovely walks. But no matter how amazing a place is, it is only as good as the people who make it tick. Milly for all her organisation, Danny for keeping us moving, Rose for keeping our body, mind and soul in top shape with her yoga, and Nic for ensuring we left armed with all the nutritional knowledge to lead a new and healthier life. They were all brilliant! I’ll be back!
