A holiday at yoga hotel Seeds of Silence will give you all the space you need to create a better world for yourself.Content
You decide the program
For a stay at yoga hotel Seeds of Silence, you have a choice of stays of 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 nights, depending on the available period. Every day, you follow 1,5 to 2 hours of yoga classes or workshops such as vinyasa, kundalini, yin yang flow and chinese medicine flow, restorative yoga, Qigong and sound healing or breathwork. We decide on the planning of these sessions together.
And you don’t have to do anything else! You simply decide how to spend your time during your stay. Ride an electric bike or mountainbike to the beach, use a boat, a kayak or a SUP to explore the surroundings, read a book by the pool or book a massage or coaching session to find peace and connection with yourself.

It was my first yoga and breathwork retreat, so I didn’t quite know what to expect. Looking back, I can say it was fantastic! Cindy welcomed me with a delicious cherry juice and showed me around Seeds of Silence; what a beautiful setting and a wonderful room! The tranquility and sense of luxury are both visible and palpable. The yoga sessions were varied, with both challenging and relaxing moments. The breathwork sessions were impressive, a truly unique experience. Cindy guides everything very professionally. The brunch was absolutely delightful, freshly prepared and different every day. I enjoyed a blissful outdoor massage. After five days, I went home completely relaxed. I will definitely be back! It was wonderful.
In one word: Fantastic! Cindy has created a true paradise in the Algarve, with beautiful rooms, stunning colors, and plenty of greenery. The extensive brunch with unique dishes was delicious. The workshops were extremely valuable to me; they required effort but also provided relaxation. I will definitely return!
From the moment Cindy welcomed me to her beautiful retreat, I felt right at home. This green oasis of tranquility offers numerous spots to retreat to for a while. Everything is crafted with so much attention and love; this is evident not only in the delicious meals but also in the warm interactions with others. Wow, wow, wow, it was fantastic, and I will definitely return here.
I had a wonderful stay at Seeds of Silence – the ambience throughout the beautiful sanctuary that Cindy has created is peaceful and inspiring.I love the yoga option with the boutique hotel and the morning brunch is both delicious and colourful- I will be back 😊🙏
A piece of heaven on earth. Truly! If you’re looking for a retreat on a small scale (6 rooms) on a beautiful spot with super healthy ànd delicious food, this is the place to be. I’ve done a few retreats, this is the best one. Cindy is a wonderful host: wise, strong and just lovely, as is her staff. I’ve experienced a retreat to remember and cherish. Allow yourself to enjoy this!
I did the 5-day retreat: FANTASTIC! What a beautiful place, super beautifully decorated with attention to detail. The yoga was always different, breath work very nice…. I went home zen; relaxed, recharged and refreshed! The food was great, so was the pool, the rooms, and Cindy herself 👌🏼 a TOP WOMAN! I would love to go back again!
What a wonderful place to just let go of everything… the fun yoga and breathwork classes, the beautiful, serene surroundings, the good care of Cindy and her team make you feel away from it all and yet at home. The brunch is truly indescribable, looks like a picture and is sooo delicious… The massage was the icing on the cake. A gift to myself…. Till next year 😉
This was my first yoga retreat, and I think I don’t need to look for other retreats in the future. This retreat has everything: a beautiful environment, a great vibe, friendly people (with whom I could practice Portuguese), a doggy, delicious healthy food (lots of vegan options, which was perfect for me), excellent and modern private accommodation, plenty of relaxation options (sauna, pool, yoga & breathwork sessions, massages, fitness, e-bikes to reach the nearest town and beach within 30 minutes) and most importantly, many comfortable seating and lounging areas in the garden and the house. Cindy has beautifully designed her ‘estate’ over the years, with stunning international artworks. Each corner has its own story and positive atmosphere. I haven’t even had the chance to try out all the relaxation spots! Maybe next time 🙂 I can recommend this retreat to anyone, look no further!
Thank you for my stay in Seeds of Silence. It’s all in your name: Seeds of Silence. Each letter is a planted seed which grows from all of those in my mind, body and soul. I’m so grateful.
What a fantastic place! An oasis of relaxation, a fantastic location and top-notch care. The location, setting and Cindy totally captivated me. I really recommend this place and will definitely return here.
