Alpha Divine Retreat
A sacred space for transformation
Nestled within the breathtaking Serra da Estrela Mountains - Portugal's "Mountain of Stars" this retreat centre offers privacy, tranquillity and a deep connection to nature.
​
Rather than searching for a new venue each year, our Residency Programme allows retreat facilitators to establish a permanent home for their practice in one of Europe's most extraordinary natural landscapes.
​
This is not a party venue. It is a space intentionally designed for reflection, restoration, healing and personal growth.

What begins here becomes momentum carried forward — steady, aligned, and intentional.
