Saccharum – Wellness Design Resort, in Calheta, will host the Spring Awakening Wellness Retreat from 20 to 22 March 2026, a special edition dedicated to the spring equinox. The initiative is promoted by the Savoy Signature hotel group and runs over three days.
The programme is organised around three themes – Awakening and Intention, Expansion and Flow, Integration and Renewal – which structure the activities scheduled for each day. The opening includes an initial circle with breathing practices and intention setting, followed by a creative dance session.
On the second day, the programme features vinyasa yoga sessions, conscious breathing with cold-water immersion, sound healing, a dynamic restorative practice and sunset meditation by the sea. The final day includes another yoga session and a guided levada walk of approximately seven kilometres, concluding with a closing circle.
Activities are led by Mercedes Pasos (Merche), Sabine, Thibault, Tomás Carro and Márcio Abreu, professionals in the fields of yoga, dance, breathing practices, sound meditation and mountain guiding.
During the retreat, meals are plant-based. In their free time, participants may use the hotel spa, swimming pool, Calheta beach or remain on the premises.
Participation is priced from €465, with the option of a full programme including activities and meals, or a version including accommodation at the hotel.
