Quinta da Libelula Retreat Center

Libelula is a secluded eco-luxury retreat sanctuary hidden in the deep, hilly mountains of Central Portugal, near Coimbra. Surrounded by 8 hectares of untouched nature, Libelula offers a rare sense of stillness, privacy, and spaciousness — a place where time slows down and inner journeys can unfold naturally.Our sanctuary is designed for those who feel called to step away from noise and distraction and enter a deeper relationship with themselves. Libelula is not a high-volume retreat center. Instead, we carefully curate a small selection of retreats each year, always prioritizing presence, quality, and genuine connection over numbers.Accommodation consists of elegant geodesic domes that blend seamlessly into the landscape. Each dome is thoughtfully designed in an eco-luxury style, combining comfort, simplicity, and sustainability. Guests stay in single, double, or shared domes, all offering a calm and intimate atmosphere that supports rest and reflection.Retreats at Libelula typically last one week, allowing enough time to truly arrive, unwind, and go deeper. Shorter retreats are occasionally offered for guests from the surrounding region. Practices may include yoga, meditation, breathwork, mindfulness, detox programs, coaching, and spiritual exploration, depending on the retreat theme.Nourishing meals — ranging from plant-based to ayurvedic — are prepared with care, often using fruits and vegetables grown on the land itself. The retreat center is supplied with fresh mountain spring water flowing directly from the surrounding hills, used for drinking, cooking, and daily living. A natural swimming pool, a dedicated temple space for practice, and the surrounding mountain landscape invite guests to reconnect with both nature and themselves.Libelula is a space for anyone who feels ready to walk their own path — supported, held, and free.
