Stop searching for a retreat that fits. Start living the one engineered around your goals.
We move beyond generic wellness packages to deliver an intensive, objective-driven transformation designed exclusively for you. Whether your focus is breakthrough, recovery, or profound skill mastery, your journey at Solar Alegria is a bespoke path to personal evolution.
The Power of Absolute Focus: 1:1 and Curated Groups
True transformation requires undivided attention. We specialize in intimate settings where distraction is impossible and progress is guaranteed.
Small, Curated Groups: For select corporate or partner retreats, we limit groups to 2-4 participants. This maintains an atmosphere of intimacy and profound productivity, fostering deep connection without sacrificing personalized attention.
Total Personalization: Forget rigid schedules. Every activity, session, and moment is curated only after a deep pre-retreat consultation. Your itinerary is precision-engineered to deliver tangible, measurable progress towards your specific objectives—from burnout recovery to creative clarity.
Intensive 1:1 Format: Work directly with our world-class specialists in a powerful one-on-one setting, ensuring every hour is spent advancing your personal goals with dedicated, laser-focused mentorship.
Solar Alegria: Your Sanctuary in Nature
Transformation thrives in stillness. Solar Alegria is not just a location; it is the fundamental foundation for your deep work.
Nature as Co-Facilitator
The Solar Alegria Difference: You need to disconnect to reconnect. Our sanctuary provides the physical and energetic isolation necessary to step away from daily pressures and truly immerse yourself in your vision.
Guaranteed Exclusivity: For the duration of your stay, Solar Alegria practice spaces are exclusively yours. We offer unparalleled discretion and total privacy, eliminating external interruptions and allowing you the mental space required for vulnerable, restorative work.
Immersion & Healing: Located in a pristine, tranquil natural setting, the environment itself is designed to promote immediate decompression. The quietude and constant presence of nature act as powerful co-facilitators, accelerating relaxation and grounding your focus.
Holistic Well-being and Bespoke Gastronomy
We address the whole person—mind, body, spirit, and nutrition—to ensure balance and sustainable change that lasts long after you leave.
Integrated Wellness & Expert Mentorship
Our integrated approach combines specialized practices with the guidance of accredited professionals:
Personalized activities & programs: Targeted functional fitness routines, restorative movement (specialized yoga – Yin, Vinyasa & Hatha, qi gong), advanced mindfulness coaching, forest therapy, sounds healing, breathing exercises, Reiki and stress-reduction techniques, ceremonies and much more.
Expert Team: Work directly with accredited life coaches, experienced therapists and instructors, all dedicated to supporting your goals from a truly holistic perspective.
Food as Medicine: Fully Tailored Gastronomy
Nutrition is a core pillar of your healing. Our culinary experience is as precise as our coaching:
Strict Dietary Customization: Every single meal is strictly tailored to your biological and wellness needs, flawlessly accommodating complex allergies, intolerances, specific diets (plant-based, high-protein), and detoxification protocols.
Farm-to-Table Philosophy: Our chefs craft vibrant menus centered on the freshest seasonal and local ingredients, ensuring peak nourishment and flavor.
Global and Local Flavors: Enjoy the richness of authentic Portuguese cuisine beautifully integrated with refined International gastronomy.
Authentic Cultural Discovery
We seamlessly weave the essence of the local environment into your healing process, transforming your retreat location into a source of enrichment.
Contextual Enrichment
Local Wisdom: Cultural exposure is interwoven with your wellness plan. Imagine a meditation session held in a historic location or a cooking lesson focused on regional ingredients known for their healing properties. This cultural discovery deepens the core work you are undertaking.
Meaningful Immersion: Your experience is strategically designed to include interaction with genuine local life. This means ethical community engagement, participation in regional art forms, and cultural excursions that enrich, rather than distract.

I am Jennifer, a Yoga & meditation instructor certified by YOGARENEW, a mindfulness coach, sound healing certified therapist and certified forest therapist. As well, the lead of the culinary experience at Solar Alegria, the retreat center I built over the past years
After being a digital product director for many years, I witnessed firsthand the profound impact that modern life has on mental health. Both my team, colleagues, friends, and I dealt with stress, depression, lack of self confidence and struggle to articulate life. I could see how it eroded self-esteem and overall well-being. The demands of the workplace, family and society combined with the fast pace of our personal lives, leave little room for true self-care. I , as well, witness how the family and couples´ issues can generate truly challenging situations in life.
Over the past years, I dedicated myself to exploring various techniques and methodologies to manage stress, strengthen self-confidence and built a life aligned with self-values. I certified in Yoga, meditation and Reiki 4 years ago, studied dietary adjustments, coaching practices, and travelled around the world. These experiences transformed my life, helping me achieve a sense of balance and renewed self-esteem that I m proud to bring into others life. However, they also made me realise that human beings are complex, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution.
This journey inspired me to create a flexible way to design personalised retreats, in addition of group retreats, to unlock balance and well-being for all, through simple and effective techniques and practices.
Today, I work with more than 30 practitioners over the world to offer the most personalised journeys and unlock long lasting benefits in day to day life.
