Orada Pause
Not a retreat you must follow, but one you’re invited to
4 - 9 JULY 2025, PORTUGAL
- THE STORY BEHIND THIS "RETREAT" -
Our Very First in House Retreat
We created this "retreat" because a lot of people kept saying the same thing:
“I’ve always wanted to come to Orada… but I never found the right opportunity.”
So here it is, something different, something simple. And sometimes, that’s exactly what you need.
Just a beautiful space, usually reserved for groups, now opened up for anyone who needs a break, to rest, enjoy nature, eat well, and pause.
It’s for anyone who’s been curious about Orada, whether you’re a long-time follower, a past participant, or someone considering hosting your own retreat here in the future. Or maybe you're just free these 5 days,
have no big plans, and this feels like the right time to press pause.
No pressure, no tight schedule to follow.
