Travel insurance

It is strongly recommended that you obtain your own full travel insurance to cover your trip, to cover cancellations or loss of items and medical expenses. Quinta da Yoga is not liable for your travel, any loss or damages incurred through circumstances beyond our reasonable control. 

Quinta da Yoga does not accept liability for loss or damage to your personal property nor any medical condition, which may develop during or after your retreat. Your travel insurance should cover these and any other contingencies.

Food & Beverages

Quinta da Yoga retreats and events offer vegetarian and vegan meals prepared and served by a professional chef. 

In case of dietary restrictions, you are responsible for caring for your own special dietary needs. Although our chefs are always willing to accommodate your special needs within reason and capability, your consumption is not their responsibility. Ask the chef about the ingredients in case you’re not sure what fits your diet. 

Alcoholic beverages are not included in the price package. You are however allowed to drink wine during meals. 

Under no circumstances do we encourage and allow consumption of copious amounts of alcohol or drugs. Please understand that you may be asked to leave the retreat, if your alcohol and/or drug consumption and relating behaviour are disrupting the peace and quiet of the other guests and staff members.   

Retreat changes

If for any reason a teacher or chef becomes incapable and unavailable, Quinta da Yoga will replace the person in question with an equally suitable substitute. You will be accordingly informed.
