The Retreats.

Not a wellness resort.

These retreats are small. Usually 8 to 12 people. Victoria leads the Pilates sessions herself. The days have structure, morning practice, guided activity, free time, but they're not rigid.

The accommodation is always a proper villa or quinta, somewhere that feels like a home, not a hotel. Meals are shared and made from local ingredients. The evenings are quiet.

There are no packed schedules, no back-to-back workshops, no performance. Just good Pilates, good company, and space to actually decompress.

Victoria started running retreats because clients kept asking what it would be like to do Pilates somewhere beautiful, for a few days in a row. The answer turned out to be: exactly as good as you'd imagine.

Who these retreats are for.

People who actually need a break. The groups are small, capped at 12, and the Pilates suits all levels, with modifications available, so you can go at your own pace. You get your own room, somewhere quiet to come back to at the end of each day. If a proper rest is overdue, this is it.

What's included.

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Daily Pilates // Two morning Reformer sessions per day, led by Victoria. All levels. Modifications available. Space to go at your own pace.
Full Board // All meals included, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Made with local and seasonal ingredients. Dietary requirements are always catered for.
Your Own Room // Private rooms in every retreat. No shared dorms. You have somewhere quiet to come back to at the end of each day.
Activities // Guided hikes, time at the pool, and free time to just be. The schedule is designed to complement the Pilates, not compete with it.
Airport Transfers // Transfers from Faro Airport included for retreats in the Algarve. Availability varies by retreat location, confirmed on booking.
Small Groups // Retreats are capped at 12 people. This keeps the Pilates sessions high quality and the overall dynamic warm and personal.

"First time doing reformer Pilates retreat. In fact, first time doing Pilates! The classes were challenging, informative and I could push myself as much as I needed. Always felt incredible after... Highly recommend!"

Design your retreat.

Tell us a little about your group and what you're imagining. Victoria will be in touch to design it with you.

Pricing starts from €2,500 per person for 3 nights, with everything designed around your group: the villa, the sessions, the food, the pace.

Because only a select few retreats run each year, there is a waitlist. The earlier you enquire, the more choice you have over dates.

Retreat villa in the Algarve at golden hour

The trip your friends talk about for years.

A villa that is entirely yours. Mornings on the Reformer, coached to exactly your group's level. Food cooked for you, days with nothing in them, and nobody there except the people you chose. This is not a retreat you join. It is one designed around you.

Victoria runs only a select few each year, so the dates go to whoever asks first. From €2,500 per person for 3 nights.
