BOOK YOUR TRAVEL

We strongly suggest arriving in Lisbon a day early to prevent any travel delays that may cause you to miss the start of the retreat.

FLY INTO LISBON OR FARO

You can fly into either Lisbon's Humberto Delgado Airport (LIS) or Faro (FAO). Most guests choose to fly into Lisbon and stay a couple nights to enjoy Portugal’s charming capital. From Lisbon, Cocoon is a two-hour drive south. From Faro, it’s a two-hour drive north.

If you get into Lisbon late at night and wish to find a hotel near the airport, TRYP Lisboa Aeroporto Hotel, is just 150 meters walking distance from the airport.

RENT A CAR

Cocoon is about a two-hour drive from Lisbon. Once at the farm, you will be glad you have your own transport. This way, you can enjoy beach excursions (10-minute drive), driving to trailheads, surfing, and exploring local villages.

If you would like to be connected to other retreat goers to share the cost of a car rental, email us at Hello@EuphoriaRetreats.com.

COCOON GPS LOCATION

Cocoon is approximately a 2-hour drive south from Lisbon. The nearest town is Vila Nova de Milfontes, which is 15 minutes by car. The address is: Estrada Nacional 393, km 14.2. 7630-063, Portugal.

*Please note there is also a “Cocoon Eco Lodges” that is also in Portugal - that’s NOT the one! Cocoon is searchable on Google Maps as “Cocoon Portugal.” Or you can click this link.

ARRIVE TO COCOON ON JUNE 11

Plan on arriving anytime after 3 pm. Please do not arrive before then, as Cocoon will not be ready to welcome you.

If you arrive in the area early, we suggest you have a nice lunch nearby in the town of Vila Nova de Milfontes at A Choupana, which is right on the beach and is simple. It’s perfect for a leisurely lunch of grilled sardines. Then head to Cocoon after lunch, as dinner will be the first meal served. A more decadent option, if you want to detour slightly, is to stop at Comporta Cafe, for a fabulous beachside lunch. Make a reservation, go for a swim (they have showers) and then drive the rest of the way to Cocoon later.

DEPART ON JUNE 18

Check out is 10 am. Late check out is not available. The last meal served on your last day is breakfast. Breakfast on the last day will be served from 8:30-9:30am. Any extras like alcohol or purchases, can be paid to our manager in cash or with a credit card the night before departure.

We strongly recommend travel insurance for every retreat, in fact we offer you $50 off your retreat when you purchase travel insurance! Not only do you get coverage for medical emergencies and evacuations, you also protect your trip investment from unexpected cancellations.

WEATHER

The weather in Portugal in June is beachy and sublime, with balmy, sunny days that aren’t too hot due to the gentle coastal breezes.

ACCOMMODATION

275-acre farm 10 minutes from Atlantic Coast. Simple, yet luxurious in nature and beauty. Featured in Conde Nast Traveller in 2021 as one of the best farm stays in Europe.

FOOD

3 daily delicious farm-to-table vegetarian food with one pescatarian night for those who enjoy coastal fish.

WIFI & CELL

Wifi is available at our hotel, in common areas and rooms. Depending on your service provider, cell service is available at Cocoon. If desired, contact your service provider to set up an international calling plan ahead of your trip, to avoid large roaming overages.

Our yoga shala is fully stocked with mats and props. If you are very particular about a certain mat, and you have room in your luggage, we advise bringing only a thin travel mat to lay over the studio mat.

MONEY & CASH

Let your credit card company know you will be traveling. Take money out at ATMs at the airport and/or in Lisbon.

Portugal does not have a strong tipping culture, so most times it is not expected.
