The New Way Women Travel
The secular retreats, creativity retreats and culinary experiences offered by Algarve Experiences are an exciting innovation in travel designed to meet the travel needs of the modern woman. You not only get to visit a historically significant, culturally rich and spiritually vibrant corner of the world, but you get to spend time thinking about what’s important to you in life, where you’re going and what you want to commit yourself to in the future.
The retreats and experiences offered by Algarve Experiences are not your typical tours, nor are they your typical retreats. Women’s travel has changed along with the needs of the mature, professional women. At Algarve Experiences you get as much or as little pampering as you want. You are challenged intellectually, psychologically and spiritually and yet your needs are always honoured and supported. You can travel extensively throughout the Algarve or spend your time in quiet reflection. Our programs allow ample time for both exploration and self reflection.
Whether you seek spiritual growth that is based in meaning, purpose and values rather than formal religion, expanded creativity based in playfulness or a culinary experience that is about more than the pleasure of eating, cooking and drinking, you’ll find it in one of our Algarve Experiences offerings.

You’ll get to meet other interesting people, mostly women who want similar things in life. Our groups are very small, typically 4-8 participants so there’s lots of time to build relationships and to get one-on-one attention from Gwen McCauley, your skilled, knowledgeable and supportive facilitator and concierge.
