A Women’s Pilates Retreat in Portugal
This Pilates retreat is designed primarily for women looking for time to focus on themselves, step away from daily pressures and reconnect with their bodies and minds.
With only 8 places available, the retreat offers an intimate and welcoming atmosphere, allowing participants to share the experience in a small group.
You don’t need previous Pilates experience or a specific level of practice to take part. Whether you are already familiar with Pilates or simply curious to discover it, what matters most is your willingness to participate and enjoy a few days dedicated to your well-being.
Pilates and Nature: Discover the Beauty of Ria de Aveiro
A wellness retreat is also about the environment in which it takes place. At Livin Barca, the natural surroundings are an essential part of the experience.
The retreat takes place in Torreira, a coastal village in central Portugal, between the Atlantic Ocean and the Ria de Aveiro lagoon. This unique landscape combines calm waters, open spaces and rich biodiversity, creating a peaceful setting away from the pace of everyday life.

Here, you can slow down, enjoy the outdoors and experience a different side of Portugal — beyond the usual tourist destinations.
The Ria de Aveiro is also an invitation to explore nature and discover the region from the water, making this location particularly special for a wellness holiday.
Five Days of Pilates, Well-Being and Shared Experiences
This five-day retreat brings together different moments designed to create a balanced and memorable experience.
The programme includes:
- Pilates classes;
- Meals throughout the retreat;
- A boat trip along the Ria de Aveiro estuary.
Beyond the scheduled activities, the experience is an opportunity to enjoy a slower rhythm, spend time in nature and connect with other women who share an interest in movement and well-being.
