Where Is Cocoon?

Cocoon Portugal is in the rolling hillsides of the Alentejo region of Portugal; know for its long stretches of untouched beaches. The ocean’s sandy coves, villages and trails are 10 minutes away. In between yoga practices, you can follow the rugged Atlantic coastline for a stretch of the Fisherman’s Trail. Springtime is bursting with wildflowers! The majestic scenery includes the quaint white washed fishing villages of Vila Nova de Milfontes and Zambujiera del Mar.

We have the whole property and the amazing Cocoon staff all to ourselves!

Your stay at Cocoon includes 3 fabulous organic farm to table vegetarian meals per day. Much of the food is grown on the farm, and locally sourced. In your free time you can saunter around the full grounds including 2 yoga shalas (an airy indoor studio with high ceilings and handmade tiles and the outdoor deck under old growth pines), chill in an oversized hammock, make friends with the resident goats and explore on bicycles. Spring water, coffee and local herbal teas are available all day. There is also an honor bar with goodies.

How To Get Here

Cocoon is 2 hours south of Lisbon and slightly less from Faro airport. We will help coordinate shared transport for students if requested. Public transportation to Cocoon is available from either airport.

There will be ride sharing opportunities during the day, but we highly recommend you rent a car if your would like to explore the coastline and surrounding areas on your own.
