With the Not-So-Serious Retreat, Cam and Vera Camarena, the founders of the project, aim to create an atmosphere of joy, relaxation, and lightheartedness, providing a 5-day program that mixes wellness, physical activity, culture, and local food and wine in a perfect balance of self-care and indulging. 

Highlights of the Not-So-Serious Retreat include:

1. Top-notch Yoga classes in a beautiful space - the Ground - surrounded by pine and oak trees. The smells and sounds of nature will genuinely enhance your experience. The classes are accessible to all levels from total beginners to experienced yogis as our experienced teacher will give options for all levels
2.  Local and Organic Food: the program includes daily Brunch and dinner with artisanal and seasonal ingredients that tell a story about the region and the local culture. Every dinner is paired with a different local wine and every evening there will be a different cook with a different story to tell.
3. The Hike: The fisherman´s trail is considered of the most beautiful hiking trails in the world with its endless coastline, stunning cliffs, and wild beaches. The program includes a hike along one of its best paths and ends up with a swim in the refreshing Atlantic Ocean and soaking in the sun of a sandy bay. 
4. The wine tour: We will spend an afternoon exploring a family-owned, sustainable winery where guests will learn about regenerative farming and natural wine production. The visit will end with a wine tasting overlooking the vineyards at sunset.

About Quinta Camarena: Quinta Camarena is a sustainably conscious hotel, surrounded by nature in the quaint rural town of Cercal do Alentejo. A charming rural town with slow pace living, beautiful retro architecture, and warm people. Located only 15 minutes from the coast, where some of the most gorgeous and wild beaches of the Country have miraculously managed to stay almost secret, we can feel a mix of both rural and coastal beach vibes. This project was born through the minds and hearts of Cam Camarena, a photographer born and raised in Los Angeles, and Vera, Portuguese from Porto, while they were living in New York. They curate personally the decor, food, and every detail of the programs.
