Your Week to Reset, Recharge and Rebuild.
A transformative 7-night retreat to help you live stronger, perform better and age well.
Performance & Longevity Retreat
Quinta do Rabaçal, Portugal
Step away from daily life and invest in your health at this exclusive small-group Performance & Longevity Retreat. Over seven nights, you’ll train, learn, recover and recharge in a beautiful private setting, building practical habits to support strength, energy, resilience and long-term wellbeing.
This is not a bootcamp or a conventional fitness holiday. It is a considered, supportive experience combining performance and strength training, longevity and healthy ageing, nutrition and metabolic health, sleep and recovery, movement, wellness and time outdoors.
The Venue
Set in more than 40 acres of private forest beside the Mondego River, Quinta do Rabaçal offers the space and calm to focus fully on yourself. Facilities include a 300m² private training gym, riverside yoga area, infinity pool, sauna, jacuzzi and spa facilities, as well as mountain bikes, kayaks and paddleboards.
Your accommodation, meals, coaching, training, workshops, activities and full use of the retreat facilities are included. The only thing not included is your flight to Porto.
