Philosophy

Quinta Da Calma opened its doors over 35 years ago as one of the first ever yoga and holistic health retreats in Europe by Sylta Kalmbach.  Sylta was a pioneer in the world of wellness by showing her guests how they could heal themselves through the food they ate and by  leading a healthy lifestyle. All these years later, Quinta Da Calma is still dedicated to providing a healing & caring experience to those who visit us.

Our outstanding location within 20 acres  of untouched nature and beautiful umbrella pine trees, helps our guests to connect with themselves and  nature and is only a 15 minute drive from Faro Airport.   The stunning white sand beaches of the Algarve are reachable within a 15 minute drive from the Quinta.

Our Quinta is not a hotel with extensive facilities and conventional luxury. It is a luxury of a different type. A luxury of being able to step away from your life in untouched corner of the Algarve and spend time with yourself and other like-minded people and to improve your mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing. A place to relax and connect with nature.
