I’m excited to share glorious sunshine filled days with you in Portugal

I am so excited to be returning to Portugal in the Summer of 2025 to host another wonderful retreat. This time we will spend five days together celebrating nature, movement and one another.

We return to Quinta Raposeirosa with its stunning location, sea views, acres of land and fabulous accommodation.


Every day I will guide you through a Pilates workshop, focusing on strengthening and connecting, finding balance in our mind and body.


My intention is this … our time together on the retreat deepens your connection with yourself, that it enables you to celebrate your uniqueness and grow a deeper understanding of who you are and what makes you happy.

Your Retreat host

Donna Finnie is a qualified ‘Body Control Pilates’ Mat and Reformer trained instructor who enjoys every opportunity given, to share her love and passion for Pilates.

She is driven by the desire to help people to move with greater confidence and understanding of their bodies whilst celebrating their uniqueness.

I want you to feel free to explore the stunning 11-hectare estate, lounge by one of the two pools, enjoy and savour the delicious home cooked food, take an afternoon siesta, soak up views of the Atlantic ocean, embrace the warmth of the sun. Whilst there will be a daily itinerary you are free to choose the degree to which you get involved. This is your time, free time, away from the normal schedule of your life … breath, relax ad enjoy.

Join me on this beautiful 20 - 25 minute walk past orchards, palms and pine trees to São Lourenço Beach. The coastline has some of Europe’s best surfing beaches. The sight and sound of the waves will take your breathe away.

Paddle Boarding

I can’t wait to meander down the river, basking in the sunshine, enjoying the sound of nature and no doubt lots of fun and laughter

 with you. i have been assured that this experience is for all abilities and just perfect for complete beginners. The river is shallow and slow, the pace is relaxed.
