OUR SPACE
Some places don’t need to be explained.
They are felt.
Quintinha do Mar was created to welcome those who are tired of being tired. For those who need to pause without having to justify it, to rest without needing to improve, to simply be without having to do.
Here, time slows down naturally. Silence doesn’t feel heavy. Nature holds the body. Care unfolds in a simple, human, and present way.
No dogma. No rush. No expectations of who you should be.
Just space to feel at home within yourself again.

A path made for you
Close, personalised guidance
This retreat is fully tailored to your individual needs.

OUR APPROACH
The Experience
More than a set of activities, each retreat is a carefully held period of time, guided by listening to the body, in a safe and supportive space.
Accommodation
Quiet, simple rooms immersed in nature, available as shared or private spaces, created for rest and reflection.
Moments of care
Moments of silence, presence, breath, and meditation. Nothing is expected of you, only an open invitation to experience.
Gentle Walks
Between the hills and the Atlantic coast. The pace adapts to the moment. No prior experience or specific fitness level is required.
Nourishment
A progressive plant-based approach, simple, light, and prepared with intention, in tune with individual needs and personal rhythms.
Emotions
Awareness of how emotions shape everyday choices, with space to recognise patterns without judgement.*
Continued Support
After the retreat, we remain available to gently support the integration of your experience into everyday life, at the right pace for you.
* Additional therapies are available at an extra cost. Please contact us for details.
WHO WILL GUIDE YOU
Hi, I'm Paula
"Quintinha do Mar was born from a moment in my life when I too needed to pause and listen to my body. From there, this space began to take shape. A place where time naturally slows down, and where there is care to return to the body, calm the mind, and reconnect with what truly matters.
Over time, I developed my own way of accompanying these processes, grounded in listening to the body and emotions, and in respecting each person’s individual rhythm.
My role is to guide with presence, creating a safe and supportive space where each person can find their way back to themselves.
If you feel that this is the right moment to care for yourself, you’re warmly invited to experience this journey."
