PÁTIO Retreats exists to offer people a space for genuine connection – with themselves, with others, and with nature. On Faial, in the heart of the Azores, we combine hikes to powerful natural spots, meditation, voice and creativity work, water movement, and mindful rituals into a holistic experience. Horses, wild landscapes, sustainable cuisine, and our eco-lodge create a place where calm, presence, and inner clarity can grow. PÁTIO Retreats are for those seeking not just a break, but a conscious way to reconnect, express themselves, and recharge.
PÁTIO Retreat is a nature-connected ecolodge on Faial Island. Guests enjoy cozy rooms with ocean or garden views, private terraces, and natural materials. The center features a heated saltwater pool, yoga and meditation spaces, lush gardens, horse pastures, and open-air dining terraces.

Fantastic Experience with Creativity & Mindfulness Retreat
Angelique was an amazing guide -- and the experience was truly unique. I got to see gems of the beautiful island of the Azores --- that were completely quiet with all of our outings. The forest bathing, interpretation center, and caldera hike were phenomenal opportunities to convene with the natural world, and the breath and vocal coaching was new for me and helped me to build more awareness of my body and breathing. The pace of the retreat was perfect, and Patio Lodge was a stunning location with extravagant meals included. Highly recommend this to all!
