MAGICAL MADEIRA

A SOULFUL ASCENT Madeira, Portugal

May 22 - 29, 2026

Join Mimi and other inspired travelers on this exquisitely, elevated cultural yoga experience. This trip will delight your senses, spark new interests, and create friends for a lifetime!

We’re setting the stage once again for A Soulful Ascent—our marvelous and magical retreat on the Island of Eternal Spring, Madeira. On our first, awe-inspiring retreat with 28 travelers and memory seekers, we found beauty, peace, and connection at the storied and historic Pink Palace, known as “Reid’s”, a Belmod Property. With sapphire waters, sweeping views, and chic, thoughtful touches, Reid’s treated us to world-class service by the kindest and most meticulous staff. From a beautifully appointed yoga space overlooking the ocean to exquisite meals, stimulating cultural excursions, and nightly turn-downs, every detail was curated with care and quaint sophistication.
