Holistic Holidays

Dorset Massage have hosted six successful trips to Portugal in recent years.

In hosting these gorgeous, carefully curated holidays, our groups are purposefully kept small so the holiday has YOU at the very heart of it.

We look after you beautifully from the minute you arrive in Portugal to dropping you back at the airport at the end of your trip.

Your holiday will be fully catered by a professional chef with daily treatments, morning rituals, movement, swimming and the opportunity to visit some of the locality.

Allow yourself to be held and cared for by Bel and her team sending you home feeling refreshed, renewed and reset.

Holistic Holiday Reviews

"An extraordinary thing happens when women gather! Bel has a unique ability to bring women together and surround us all in love and protection. First class body treatments were delivered with intuitive tenderness by Bel, Vera and Nat. Bel had hunted high and low for the perfect venue and hit the jackpot with this gorgeous farmhouse in its calm tranquil gardens. To top it all, we were fed like royalty by her superb private chef Helio. This was a magical healing week full of love and laughter. Thank you!"



"From the moment I arrived in Portugal I felt looked after with great communication and a car to pick me up from the Airport. When arriving at the Villa I was stunned at how beautiful it is with lots of character and gorgeous grounds to get lost in nature. My room was extremely spacious, comfortable and clean.

On the very first day I had a treatment and this continued daily, each treatment was individual and so very indulgent. The days were planned out at a perfect pace giving time to relax, explore, socialise, eat or simply have some time alone alongside scheduled activities such as Morning Rituals, Yoga or Masterclasses. Everything on offer was optional but I didn’t want to miss out on a thing and enjoyed every moment.

My stand out favourites from the week and in no particular order were:
Morning Rituals
Treatments
Yoga
The food
Sound Bath
The Tranquility
The Fun
Everything to do with Bel
Essential Oils Masterclass."

"There was a warmth that felt like a big hug from the moment I arrived to the minute I left. Bel and Nathalie were amazing hosts and the other ladies on the retreat were all really lovely, all the other people that contributed to the week from the Yoga teacher to the Chef were absolutely top of their craft. I have to mention the food because it was amazing! Everything was made with the freshest, highest quality ingredients, catering to many different dietary needs as required and every single mouthful as delicious as the last. I would have no hesitation in recommending this to anyone wanting to get away from it all, in fact I am ready to book again for next year!"
