Hotel details

An adults-only retreat in the Algarve that combines yoga, wellness and water sports. Join daily yoga and meditation sessions, surf or kayak along the coast. Unwind in a natural setting designed to restore balance.

Where you are going...

Located between Guia and Albufeira, Al Karob is set in a quiet area close to the Algarve coast. The beaches are around a ten-minute drive away, Faro Airport is approximately 45 minutes by car, and the area offers easy access to surfing, paddleboarding and kayaking, a nearby riding school, and local favourites such as the well-known Frango da Guia, with Albufeira’s historic old town just six kilometres away.

Why you’ll love it...

Al Karob is dedicated to yoga, nature and a healthy lifestyle, with a range of programmes and retreats focusing on yoga, surfing, detox, fitness and weight loss. Daily yoga classes, open to all levels (except Sundays), include Hatha, Vinyasa and Yin, while sea activities such as surfing, kayaking and paddleboarding are also available. For relaxation, you can choose from deep tissue, hot stone and Ayurvedic massages. The kitchen aligns with the hotel’s healthy philosophy. The focus is on clean, supportive food that complements the overall wellness approach, alongside plant-based or juice-fasting options. Open year-round with flexible arrival dates, alongside set-date retreats offered at selected times throughout the year.

Wellness, Spa and Health

Al Karob Yoga Boutique Hotel has a calm wellness area with an outdoor pool, sun loungers and dedicated treatment rooms.

What’s on the Menu

Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, pescatarian and lactose-free options are available, with ingredients sourced locally whenever possible and some fruit grown on-site.

We love

Yoga in the morning, the ocean later in the day. Few places make that transition so easy.
With just 10 rooms, the atmosphere stays quiet and genuinely personal.
Set just beyond Albufeira, there is space and greenery, with the coast always close by.
