Yes for sure! Both coming together or coming solo are good. It’s beautiful when dads (or another family member/friend/support person) come along to support & share this experience. We usually have a few dads joining every retreat, and many moms come solo as well.

If you’re considering joining us, know that we welcome fathers with open arms, in all our retreats. They can be fully present at the retreat joining all activities or joining in parts of it and for example work remotely from the retreat centre.

Yes, that’s sometimes possible! If you’d like to arrive a day or a few days earlier or extend your stay after the retreat, just let me know. I’ll be happy to check the availability of the retreat centre for you and see what options are available.

If the retreat centre is fully booked for extra nights, I can also recommend nearby accommodations in or around Ericeira, so you can fully enjoy your time in Ericeira before or after the retreat. It’s such a nice way to decompress after the retreat ends with a night or a few nights extra.

Let me know what you need, and I’ll do my best to help you!

Booking is simple! Just follow the link to your desired retreat dates and choose your accommodation. You’ll be referred to a payment link, and afterwards a booking form will appear for you to fill in more details to complete your reservation. You’ll receive a personal welcome email from me within 24 hours.

If you want to add your partner, you receive a separate payment link afterwards to include him/her (or at any later stage it’s still possible to add them to your booking).

The deposit amount is 50% of your booking. The deposit is made in advance to secure your spot at the retreat. It helps me manage reservations and ensures commitment. It is typically non-refundable, as it goes toward upfront costs and commitments. However, please see our cancellation policy on the booking page for more details;

Here’s how cancellations are handled (see below also how insurance can cover & refund your retreat and flights):

✔ 90+ days before the retreat → 100% refund
✔ 30+ days before the retreat → 50% refund of the total amount
✔ Less than 30 days before the retreat → No refund

The remaining 50% balance is due 45 days before the retreat start date, you will receive a reminder via email.

✔ Check-in: from 4:00 PM on the day of arrival.
✔ Check-out: by 11:00 AM on the day of departure.

Lisbon Airport is just 40 minutes away from Ericeira, and there are several easy ways to get to the retreat center:

✔ We order a Private Transfer: €70 one way, a driver will be waiting for you outside the arrivals hall, possibly with baby car seat. You can check the box in your booking form after payment, or let me know at any later stage.

✔ Uber/Bolt: Approx. €40 one way. Uber/Bolt are only allowed to pick you up from a specific location, the P2 Parking Area outside the arrivals hall. When you exit the baggage area into the arrival hall, turn left and walk outside towards the P2 Park (1 minute walk). Uber/Bolt usually don’t have baby seats available, but you can carry your baby on your lap/in carrier.

✔ Car Rental: Pick up from the airport or have it delivered to the retreat center

With some airplanes you can bring a car seat with you for free, if you want to be more flexible when you take a taxi here (you might want to head to one the beautiful beaches in some gaps, they are a few minutes by car).

Also, it’s not obligated for the baby to be in a car seat when you take a taxi/Uber in Portugal. I will also have car seats available to borrow during the retreat.

To make things easier, we’ll create a WhatsApp group with the other mamas before the retreat starts, so you’ll have the option to coordinate and share a taxi with another mama arriving around the same time if you’d like.

If your toddler becomes unwell before the retreat and you are advised not to fly, we completely understand how difficult this situation can be. To help protect your booking, we strongly recommend having travel insurance that covers unexpected medical issues.

When purchasing travel insurance, make sure it:
✔ Covers trip cancellations due to your childs illness or medical condition
✔ Includes reimbursement for non-refundable costs, such as retreat fees and flights
✔ Allows cancellations within 30 days of departure if medically necessary

Having the right insurance ensures that you are financially protected in case your travel plans need to change.

If you have any questions about booking or need assistance, feel free to reach out! I can share with you an insurance broker that is specialised for Portugal to give you a quote.

If in a very rare case the retreat is cancelled by me (the organizer), you will receive a full refund of your deposit and any payments made.

This retreat is best suited for toddlers aged 1.5 to 3 years (walking, exploring, playing). If you’re unsure whether this retreat is the right fit for your toddler, just reach out—happy to chat and help you decide!

If you would like to bring a smaller baby or older child along, reach out for the best suited accommodation for you.

Yes! You’ll have the support of our loving and experienced babysitters during the day, so you can enjoy moments just for yourself while knowing your toddler is in caring hands or just use them as extra hands during mealtimes.

During the retreat there is a schedule on the wall in the main area, on which you can sign your toddler up for specific babysitting during your massage with your preferred babysitter. 

• Separate toddlers friendly meals will be made by our amazing chef.

• Every day around 4pm an afternoon snack is served for us and our toddlers (no sugar, no dairy, gluten free if necessary).

• We also always have a bowl with fruits, at any time you need it.

You can always bring your toddlers favourite snacks.

Yes, we have baby beds & high chairs available, you can also ask for a bed barrier along your bed if you are co-sleeping. Before the retreat we will ask for your diaper order in case you would need these.

There are bigger supermarkets around ‘Ericeira’ 10 min with taxi, and also some organic shops. If you need something specific it’s good to bring it with you or I can make sure it’s here for you.

• Breakfast 07.30 - 08.30AM

• Lunch 13.00 - 14.00PM

• Dinner 18.00 - 20.00PM

Since it’s a walk-in buffet you don’t have to be exactly on time and come when it’s a good time for you and your child. There are several high chairs available.

There is a laundry service at our retreat location. They charge €25,- per bag, you could also share a bag midweek with another mom.

When you book your retreat I will share with you at some point the photographers portfolios and verify if you’d like to book a shoot, either on around the beach/cliffs or around the retreat centre for example.

We will book the photoshoot at a convenient time frame during the retreat.
