Release Stress - Restore Inner Balance

Whether you lead a team, manage a busy life, or juggle multiple responsibilities, you are no stranger to pressure and the toll it can take on your energy and focus. Even the strongest leaders reach a point where stress accumulates, clarity fades, and the nervous system cries out for restoration. The Hillside Balance Retreat in Portugal’s Douro Valley is designed to help you recharge, reset and restore your inner balance, so you can return to your life and business with energy, focus and resilience.

Schedule a call so we can understand your personal needs for the retreat and talk about the vision, highlights, itinerary, investment, location, logistics, etc.

The Lasting Impact For Your Life And Business

At New Horizon Retreats, we believe a retreat should not only offer a pause, but also provide you with practical methods to integrate into daily life. During this exclusive experience, you will:

  • Experience deep relaxation and nervous system regulation in a calm, stress-free environment.

  • Restore your mental clarity, focus and creativity.

  • Strengthen your mental health and rewire your brain for resilience to prevent burnout.

  • Gain long-term strategies to integrate balance and clarity into your demanding lifestyle.

  • Reconnect with your body and mind, gaining tools to self-regulate and recharge.

  • Learn science-backed stress management techniques that you can apply at home and at work.

  • Work in a small, exclusive group of like-minded leaders, ensuring personal attention and a tailored approach.

  • Leave with a renewed perspective, ready to approach challenges with fresh eyes.

The Setting: Douro Valley, Portugal

Your retreat unfolds in an authentic Portuguese country house nestled in the hillsides of the Douro Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage region renowned for its terraced vineyards, rolling landscapes and timeless serenity.

Surrounded by nature, silence and authentic rural Portuguese charm, you will find the perfect environment to disconnect from external pressures and reconnect with yourself. The hillside location mirrors the retreat’s mission: to create perspective, to rise above stress, and to view life’s challenges from a higher, calmer vantage point.

There will be organised pick-up and drop-off from and to the nearest airport, Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport (OPO) in Porto, Portugal. We expect mild 20°C/68°F in November.
