Amenities include:

SACRED SHALA AND VIEWPOINT
Perched high above the valley, the Yoga Space carries a distinct, grounding beauty – a blend of rustic charm and natural elegance. Built entirely from eco-conscious, sustainable materials, it was designed to support deep inner work while staying in harmony with its surroundings. The 88-square-meter studio features a graceful domed ceiling that encourages gentle airflow throughout, a warm wooden floor underfoot, and an arched timber doorway that opens onto a spacious deck with breathtaking valley views. Its floor-to-ceiling openness allows sunlight to pour in and the landscape to merge seamlessly with your practice, while the scent of eucalyptus and pine drifts through the air. The dome’s curved form also creates a naturally resonant acoustic space, perfect for sound healing or meditative silence. Inside, you’ll find everything needed for comfort and alignment – Manduka mats, organic bolsters, blankets, blocks, and straps – all ready to welcome you into stillness and flow.

NATURAL ATRIUM & RIVER
The wild beauty of Serra Vida is one of its greatest gifts. Here, Portuguese cork oaks, eucalyptus, and pine trees create a symphony of green, soft morning light, and crisp, clean air. You might choose to walk beside the river, immerse yourself in its cool waters, or simply rest in one of the hammocks or quiet nooks scattered through the land. Each space offers a different way to listen – to nature, to silence, to your own rhythm.
Whether you’re meditating, journaling, or sharing time in community, this landscape naturally awakens a sense of feminine connection and belonging. From the hilltops, you can take in sweeping views of the valley below; from the valley floor, you’ll feel cradled by the earth itself – as though being held within the womb of Mother Nature.

“AUFGUSS” SAUNA RITUAL
We’ll gather in the round wooden sauna hut for a deeply restorative ritual that soothes the body and awakens the senses. This serene space offers the perfect atmosphere for transformation and renewal, where warmth, scent, and stillness merge into a single meditative experience.
Guided through traditional Aufguss rounds, you’ll experience the gentle rhythm of heat waves infused with essential oils, inviting the body to release tension, stimulate circulation, and find equilibrium once more. It’s a multi-sensory journey – relaxing, purifying, and profoundly grounding – that reconnects you with the present moment and your own inner flow.

VIEWING DECK
At the top of the valley, a wooden viewing deck awaits – the perfect place to take in sweeping panoramic views and bathe in the bright, restorative light of the sun. Settle into the comfortable lounge benches, breathe deeply, and let the stillness bring a sense of clarity and renewal.
In the mornings, you might greet the day with a warm cup in hand, as night falls, watch the stars shimmer above and the valley glowing softly below.
