About Azores, Portugal
Set in the heart of the Atlantic Ocean, the Azores are a breathtaking chain of volcanic islands part of the country of Portugal. Known for their dramatic coastlines, lush green hills, and tranquil pace of life, the Azores feel both wild and deeply peaceful, a perfect setting to reconnect with nature and yourself.
Nestled on Terceira Island, Xhale Yoga Retreat Center offers a serene haven for rest, renewal, and reconnection. Surrounded by ocean views and vibrant landscapes, Xhale blends natural beauty with intentional design - from its peaceful practice spaces to nourishing meals crafted from local ingredients. Here, you’re invited to slow down, breathe deeply, and return home to presence. Between yoga sessions, you might wander through hydrangea-lined trails; swim in natural thermal springs; or savor local Azorean cuisine - fresh fish, tropical fruit, and volcanic-grown tea.
The Azores are a living reminder of the earth’s power and grace. Here, mountains rise from the ocean floor, clouds drift low across the hills, and the landscape itself invites reflection. It’s a place that feels both grounding and expansive — the perfect backdrop for renewal, rest, and reconnection with your inner self.
At Xhale, we gather in harmony with this elemental beauty... to breathe deeply, move mindfully, and remember what it feels like to truly be alive.
