Why do a detox?
Often, we only think about our health when something goes wrong. But what if we took time regularly to care for ourselves—before any issues arise? That’s exactly what our Yoga Detox programs are designed for: it offers you a unique opportunity to reconnect with your body’s natural ability to heal and thrive. Through simple yet powerful daily practices—like proper hydration, an alkalizing diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables, gentle fasting, movement, meditation, and deep rest—you’ll explore a holistic approach to well-being that supports long-term health and vitality.

Através de práticas simples mas poderosas — com boa hidratação como base, uma alimentação alcalina rica em frutas e legumes frescos, jejum suave, movimento, meditação e descanso profundo — vais explorar uma abordagem holística ao bem-estar que promove uma saúde duradoura e vitalidade.

Getting Here
Directions
The nearest international airport is Lisbon (LIS), about 3 hours by car or bus. You can also fly into Porto (OPO), around 2.5 hours away. From either city, take a train or bus to Fundão or Covilhã, the closest towns to Ananda Kalyani. From there, we can help arrange a pickup or shared taxi to our retreat centre in Paúl, nestled in the Serra da Estrela mountains.
Accommodation
The main accommodation during the festival is at our campsite located within the grounds at Ananda Kalyani and our Ananda Guesthouse, beautiful and new. Here you will benefit from the fresh air coming from the stream and the shade of some trees. With the entrance ticket, you will have free access to this area where you can place your tent. For an additional cost, you can stay in Ananda Guesthouse or rent private bell tents. See the pricing of both online. We have a limited number of tents, mattresses and sleeping bags available for renting. If you wish to do so, please make a reservation in advance by writing an email to visits@anandakalyani.org.

Ananda Kalyani was founded in 2010, where the first of what are now approximately 36 hectares of land were purchased, covered in forests and hills in the rural area of Serra da Estrela. Since the modest beginning, the land has been transformed from a lush, abandoned valley into a vibrant, habitable space. The project and its community has grown over the past 15 years from a small group of visionaries to between 35 to 50 members and ‘extended family’ who live nearby and contribute to its mission.
