Yurt Accomodation

A Yurt provides the perfect space for 'glamping' or comfortable camping. Yurts are a magical and peaceful space to be in and sleep in, fun for children, and romantic for couples. Our yurts at Portugal Yurt Retreat are home made using wood from our own land. They are constructed in the traditional Mongolian style, otherwise known as a ger. (Ger is the Mongolian word for home - see more yurt info).

Our rental yurt is approx. 5m in diameter, on a wooden base, with an outdoor covered kitchen/dining area and adjoining toilet & bathroom. The yurt has it's own facilities, making it completely private and self contained for those who truly want to retreat and relax in privacy.

The yurt has a queen size double bed, and a single mattress/sofa. We can also provide an extra single mattress should you need it and a large tent which can be pitched close to the yurt, creating more space for larger families or familes with older children. We will provide bedding for all beds and bath towels for everyone staying. (We recommend you bring your own towels for swimming.)
Almost all of the furniture in the yurt has been hand made using wood from our land.

Yurt Kitchen - Adjoining the yurt is a covered kitchen & dining area. The kitchen is equipped with sink, 2 ring gas hob and small grill, a fridge, and pots, pans, crockery and cooking utensils. Our water comes from a bore hole 100m under ground and is safe for drinking.

Yurt Eco Bathroom - The bathroom has an eco-shower with solar hot water, sink, and toilet facilities. Our toilets are eco/composting toilets. We have 2 toilets, one for solids, sawdust and paper, and a urinal/toilet. For more information on composting toilets see eco- living.

Teas and coffee are included in the rental of the yurt.

For B&B rental please note that the local Portuguese restaurants are limited on vegetarian options, however fish is usually available. You can eat out very reasonably (between 6-10 euros per person), but you will need a car to do this. We can provide lunch and evening meals on a day to day basis for an additional cost. (see prices) We can also sell you a basket of seasonal vegetables from our garden (subject to availabilty).

We are a 10 minute walk from our village where there are two cafes and associated shops with a good selection of food, fresh bread, cheese, local eggs, fruit, veg and alcohol etc. There is also a post office which is open week days 9 - 12.30am

We can also offer you a number of relaxing treatments with local practicioners, including Reiki, Aromatherapy massage, facials, Swedish massage, Reflexology, Indian Head Massage, and an energetic spinal realignment technique. These treatments can be organised upon your arrival.

Please notify us of any special dietary requirements before arrival.
