Not included

You will be flying into<a target="_blank" href="https://www.aeroportopontadelgada.pt/en/pdl/home"> Ponta Delgada Airport (PDL)</a>.
 
For non-stop flight options, we recommend booking flights directly through <a target="_blank" href="https://www.azoresairlines.pt/en">Azores Air</a> out of New York (JFK), and Boston (BOS). If you are originating from another US airport, you will need to connect through either JFK or BOS to take advantage of these direct flights to and from Sao Miguel island. We recommend allowing 3 hours minimum between your connecting flights. 
Feeling adventurous, and have some extra PTO? Look into "stop over" packages which would allow you to continue on to Lisbon or Porto for very little extra money on Azores Air.
 
Retreat departure date: Saturday, May 25th
Yes, this is correct - the direct flights are red-eye flights, so you leave Saturday night and arrive in the Azores early on the morning of Sunday, May 26th, the start date of your retreat. Everyone's rooms are held for an early check-in, so you will have an opportunity to get settled and take a nice nap. The first event of the retreat is a lunch at the resort at roughly 1PM. If you are arriving on a flight other than the direct options from BOS and JFK, you should arrive at Ponta Delgada by 11:30am in order to attend this meal.
 
Retreat return date: Friday, May 31st
Check out at the resort is noon. The last programmed events are Friday morning leading up to and including breakfast. We will offer multiple shuttles to Ponta Delgada airport, and/or hotels in Ponta Delgada, during the day according to people's travel itineraries. The resort will safely store luggage, and you are welcome to enjoy the restaurant and grounds if you schedule an evening flight.
 
If you book flights outside of these dates, you may be responsible for paying for your own taxi (budget about 20 Euro for this each way), but we can still help to coordinate a taxi for you.
 
Once you have secured your flights, please forward your flight confirmation email itinerary to info@solseedretreats.com.

Flight Parameters

You must have a valid passport to travel to the Azores. Please check your passport expiration date and make sure it is valid for at least 3 months after the end date of your retreat.
 
We are waiting for the new <a target="_blank" href="https://travel-europe.europa.eu/etias_en">ETIAS Visa System</a> to come online in 2024 or 2025. This is a new visa system which will apply to visitors from the US to Portugal, and possibly the Azores, which are an autonomous region of Portugal. The process sounds straightforward, relatively low cost, and easy to complete. We will be sure to communicate these changes and requirements to everyone once they are live, and we will update our FAQs document with that new information as well.
 
Currently, there are no COVID testing or vaccination requirements to enter the Azores or mainland Portugal.
 
We will keep you posted if this changes prior to your retreat. However, registrants are personally responsible for complying to local laws, at their own expense. Such expenses may include, but are not limited to:
<ol>
 <li>Proving adequate vaccination status</li>
 <li>Providing a negative PCR test(s)</li>
 <li>Showing proof of travel insurance</li>
</ol>

We strongly encourage you to speak with a travel insurance agent to discuss your specific coverage needs, and to clear up any questions you may have relative to travel insurance coverage, including questions about COVID-19.

We had an amazing time!  From airport pickup, to the excursions offered, the resort and everything in between. The people and especially Tina & Renata, were truly knowledge and super accommodating with our needs. Super smiles & friendly!!

Adventure to the Azores with Ivette Desai and Colby Sittig

It was the trip of a lifetime. Adler was an exceptional resort. The tour guides were outstanding. Brent knows how to lead a retreat. 

Elevate and Explore: Dolomites Retreat with Brent Laffoon

This trip was amazing. Solseed helped us every step of the way from marketing, enrolling, to feet on the ground once we arrived. Each person was helpful, kind and supportive along the way. The yoga space, accommodations and food were amazing. Highly recommend using Solseed to help you with your retreat needs!! Thanks so much Solseed for your guidance and support. 

We had a great time. Trip was well organized 
And food was good. The room was hot but we made it work. 

Escape to Costa Brava with Amelia Andaleon

We thoroughly enjoyed this trip.  The trip was well-planned in every detail.  We loved the accommodations.  Our guides on the trip were great.  Yoga with Brent was, as always, challenging, fun, and leaving you wanting more.

An amazing trip filled with gorgeous natural beauty and stunning scenery. The lodging was so beautiful and indulgent, I loved it . This may have been the best retreat yet !

Dolce Dolomiti: Yoga & Hiking Retreat with Petra L. van Aarem

Great trip - well organized and easy communication with hosts!
We loved the places we stayed and visited, and all of the guides were excellent - we were able to relax and enjoy ourselves - thanks for a wonderful trip!

Magical Morocco: A Wellness & Cultural Retreat with REVIVE

The experience was absolutely wonderful! 
The teachers, the views and the excursions were great! The food was fabulous, and Chef Daniel not only creates nourishing and balanced meals, he generously shares himself with attendees, providing care and passion in all that he offers. Amelia brought together a beautiful group of kind, caring, compassionate and joyful humans, and created an unforgettable experience.

Everything about this trip from Brent's yoga classes, to the stunning hotel and world class spa, and the majestic setting were beyond my expectations.  This was an amazing, unique and very special experience.  The Dolomites did not disappoint.   Everything was truly perfection and beyond.  

We had a fabulous trip. The resort was spectacular comfortable beds, spacious accommodations. Food was wonderful. Everyone was helpful the alder Was one of the best resorts I have ever stayed in a five star planning on returning there again .the town was magical 

Terrific combination of leadership; wellness; people in the group; and experience of Morocco

Had a great time seeing and learning about Costa Brava, all while having fun with new and old friends sharing experiences of Amelia’s Yoga,  Cathy’s Qi-Gong,  and Amy’s Breath work,  and also Dancing, playing Ping Pong and eating healthy vegan foods.  Quim was a great guide, the wine tour was excellent, and really enjoyed Girona and the Via Ferrata!

Such a special location and group of travelers! All of the support people were so helpful — both at the resort, and transporting and guiding us for excursions. Working with Tina, Kristin, and Ian was informative and supportive. They have such a well established system in place for retreat leaders.

Adventure to the Azores with Susan Wrba

The yoga retreat to the Azores was life changing. Everything was so beautiful and peaceful. The island is interesting and it’s very easy to navigate and explore. Sol Seed did a phenomenal job!  
Especially with the excursions, our drivers, and Omgoodness the food. 

Spectacular location. Great resort and spa. Group dinners were painful because the service was slow and I was often stuck with people who were drinking. I was expecting the yoga to be more challenging. I’m glad I went but I won’t go on a trip like this again.

We enjoyed the experience greatly.  The hotel was beautiful, good food, nice people & Petra is an excellent instructor.  The hiking guides were wonderful.
It was an all around great experience.

I had a wonderful trip to the Azores. Great food. Beautiful accommodations. Very nice yoga space. Amazing views. 

BEST TIME EVER !!! great people, amazing vibes, amazing country - food was good but everything was amazing !! 

HIKE HEAL AND FLOW - Flow With Zoë

This trip was absolutely phenomenal. It was extremely well organized by both Solseeds and specifically Nick Richard of Leaderboard. We stayed at the Octant Hotel, which was fantastic. The breakfasts were early and ready each morning—perfect fuel for a day on the course. The dinners were outstanding, with extravagant multi-course meals that left me barely able to find room for the next plate.

The weather in Sao Miguel made the experience truly unique. As they say there, “If you don’t like the weather, wait 10 minutes.” We’d drive through thick fog heading from the south to the north side of the island toward our tee time, nervously wondering if we’d even be able to see the fairways. Then, as if by magic, the clouds would part, and we’d be greeted by fresh air and sunshine. Sometimes there were short rain showers or a full foggy day, but these changing conditions ended up making the trip even more memorable and special.

If you’re going to golf in Portugal, do it the right way—Leaderboard sets you up for the full, authentic experience. I felt taken care of every step of the way by Nick Richard and the entire team. Our driver was incredible, always ready to help. At one point, I accidentally left my iPhone in the van, and he went out of his way to return it quickly—just one example of the care and attention we experienced throughout the week.

This trip was perfect for any type of golfer. If you want a competitive experience, you can have that. If, like me, you just want a relaxing golf vacation with great food, amazing people, and unforgettable courses, this is exactly the trip for you.

I will absolutely be booking many more of these. Huge thanks to Leaderboard, Nick Richard, our driver, and the staff at the Octant Hotel for making this such an incredible experience.

Highly recommended.


LeaderBoard Travel | Azores 2025 Trip

This is our second year traveling with Leaderboard Travel to the Azores.

LeaderBoard Travel | Azores 2025

It was a trip of a lifetime. Everything was smooth and well planned from the flight, airport transportation, excursions, meals, activities, all of it! I really enjoyed the Santa Barbara Resort & was blown away by the food. The massages and spa amenities were incredible and the yoga space was magical. Liz and the Solseed team made this trip worth every penny, highly recommend

Adventure to the Azores with The Alley

Beautiful location and room with a view. The villa space was perfect.

Retreat to Costa Brava with Emily Burdett

This was such an amazing trip! The curated excursions, hotel, and people all made it so special. I really enjoyed everyone who attended the retreat, as well as everyone who works for Solseed in whatever capacity that may be. Thank you so much for such a memorable experience!

Was amazing. Deb was amazing at organizing and communicating everything. Zoe was an excellent practitioner. What an amazing trip! We did so many activities, did a lot of self exploration, and maybe many amazing friends:)

Transformative! The leader, Liz, was gracious, attentive, and kind to all. She always had our best interest in mind. The resort was outstanding. The accommodations let the natural world shine through while at the same time providing a luxurious feel. Similarly, the food highlighted the local flavors, was fresh, and always the presented beautifully. I can’t even begin to capture the yoga studio. You just have to experience it!

Our excursions were designed to inspire and challenge us in an inclusive manner where everyone got what they needed. The guides were fun and knowledgeable. They generously and proudly shared their homeland with us. I am so grateful for Liz and her incredible planning and execution of this experience. This trip was perfection!

Incredible experience!  I had the most relaxing but fun filled week.  The food was extraordinary, the resort was gorgeous and the excursions were well planned.  Pure joy!  Thank you! 

This experience was truly a sacred space I will treasure always. Upon arrival, my very first step a continual intuitive reflection of discovery, hope, inspiration and vitality. 
A soulful lucidity, impressed upon my heart, I will cherish everything I experienced; smiles, conversation, connections, nature and exploration. 
I am truly grateful to Liz Salvadore for her vision, her soulful beauty and strength. 
I am thankful for all the hands; the generous souls who contributed to this sacred beginning of a new journey! 
Amy Porchelli


Amazing trip. So well planned and appointed. The Riad on Marrakesh was amazing...beautiful snd such lovely people running it. The resort in Essaourria was also lovely. Far and beyond the highlight of the trip was our guide, Ishmael.

Magical Morocco: A Wellness & Cultural Retreat with GPY

Fantastic experience! Very well organized, great assortment of activities. The accommodations were great as was the food. The azores are STUNNING!

Hiking and Yoga Adventure in the Azores, Portugal with Village Yoga

Never a dull moment on this amazing retreat. The opportunity to see both the city and the seaside showed so much of the variety of the country and the culture. Everyone was so welcoming and kind. I would take another trip with this group in a heartbeat!

The trip was truly magical.  The resort and the island of Sao Miguel are stunningly beautiful.  I loved that most meals and some activities were pre-arranged. For me, it was the perfect mix of planned excursions and free time to do as you wish. The hiking excursions were incredible, and the guides were informative and personable.  Staff at the resort as well as taxi and transport drivers were  friendly and knowledgeable, being extraordinarily helpful in responding to inquiries as well as assisting with free day activities. 
The resort was located in on a beautiful black sand beach, and was very convenient to all of the island. Lodging at the resort was very comfortable. The rooms and common areas were simply, but tastefully decorated.  (Although bathroom area of room could use a bit brighter lighting). The meals at the restaurant were generally very good, with only a few exceptions.  (E.G: Steak served at the group included meal was a bit tough, but was excellent when ordered separately).  The two dinners out were superb - food, atmosphere, and staff were exceptional.
Overall this trip earns a 5 out 5 stars!! Very happy with the experience I had. 

I CANNOT rave enough about Can Jan B&B.  The food was spectacular, the owners lovely and kind, the rooms large and comfortable, and the pool/pool house/grounds absolutely stunning. Our guide Grace is sweet, kind, knowledgeable, and awesome to work with. Andrea is a gem of a human and a wonderful yoga instructor. 

Escape to Spain: A Cultural Yoga Retreat with Andrea Gleason

Yoga + Hiking + views forever in the Italian Dolomites + Friends plus plus plus!  There is nothing to say except this experience was one in a million and far beyond any of my expectations! The Resort was beautiful with amazing guest rooms, spa facilities, staff, food and location in the beautiful village of Ortisei. SolSeeds did an amazing job with the planning of this Retreat, right down to the efficient transport of us all from/to Munich Airport, the included guided hikes through the mountains with local guides, including two fantastic lunch stops mountainside in rustic chalets and overall attention to every detail.  Amazing - don't miss the chance to experience this Retreat! 



Elevate and Explore: Dolomites Retreat with Greener Postures Yoga

I was blown away by this trip.. I am so grateful for this community. Never would I travel to Africa alone, but joining DDY and Shelley here, made me take the leap, and let me tell you, Morocco is simply amazing. I so enjoyed the food, the cooking class, yoga and connection with so many old and new friends. I am always blown away with all that we do, yet I come home refreshed, motivated, HAPPY. I recommend DDY Travels without hesitation. DO IT!!!!

Moroccan Magic Culture & Yoga Retreat with DDY Travels

This was an excellent trip. Beautiful accommodations, excellent tours and tour guide. The food on site was delicious. 

Escape to Costa Brava with Rachel Colombo

This was a truly fantastic trip.  The accommodations and location were stunning and comfortable.  The yoga lead by Rachel was fun, hard, playful, restorative and relaxing.  The day trips were well planned and beautiful.  By far my favorite thing was the food by Danny.  I have a tricky diet and he was able to make sure that my meals were safe for me to eat as well as delicious and nutritious.   And Grace did a wonderful job keeping us informed and on schedule.  My only wish is that it could have been a day longer and we could have had another free day at the villa.

Wonderfull people, beautiful accommodations, and great Yoga practices 

Yoga and the Natural World with Kira McCarthy

This was the second year that I've joined a retreat through Solseeds and for the second time, there were no disappointments! The yoga and fellow travelers were delightful, but even more so the sense of comfort and community that the staff encourages by engaging the most wonderful venues, guides, chefs, excursions...twice I've come away feeling as though my experience was one that I didn't know I needed. Thank you Solseeds- your vision truly feeds and delights my soul. 

This was an outstanding trip. Wonderful accomodations, outstanding food, and our guide Grace was as efficient and lovely as a person could be. I'm already ready for the next adventure!

This was a fabulous retreat. Tracy's classes were the best. And the location in the Azores was beautiful. The excursions were wonderful too. Got to see the best of this beautiful island with some awesome people

Adventure to the Azores with Tracy Affonso

The trip to Morocco with Cat was amazing! It was well organized and the accommodations were better than expected. The. best part of the trip was Yoga in the morning and the hot air balloon adventure. 

Magical Morocco: A Wellness & Cultural Retreat with Cat Lynch Capowski

Loved the retreat!  Tracy is such a wonderful teacher, and a lovely, warm person.  The other participants were fun, interesting, welcoming people - a testament to Tracy's network.  Deb and her SolSeed team on the ground (Tina, Caroline) were great too - they were responsive, helpful, gave clear communications, and offered lots of options for excursions and outings.  The guides were fabulous - Tiago and Daniella, as were the drivers (shout out to Cesar).  Senhora Rosa was a lovely comfortable hotel, with thoughtful and responsive staff.  The island itself is beautiful, peaceful, and a delight to explore and discover. Only complaint is that the dinner food was subpar (the breakfast buffets were good).  

Great trip and a beautiful resort with really nice staff. Dinners at resort were not very good but breakfasts were great!
Things I would suggest fixing:
Need to log in to wifi every single time
Dinner food quality


This was a great trip.  Soleseed’s Grace was spectacular in the planning from start to finish.  The location was so special - secluded and perfect for a yoga retreat.  Cooks Sophie and Caroline were gourmet - using local ingredients and providing healthy meals time and again.  Our yoga instructor Andrea was warm, knowledgeable and a joy.  It was wonderful!!!

It was an incredible experience!
Wonderful people, delicious food and great accommodations! Thank you for this fantastic opportunity to see and learn about Morroco while participating in a beautiful yoga/qigong retreat. 

Having the opportunity to attend a Yoga Retreat in the Azores was an incredible experience!! Our yoga classes were of course amazing! The hotel was beautiful and they were able to accommodate our large group. There was even a unique surprise on the property with a hot tub in a Pineapple greenhouse. How cool is that?! 

Solseed did a great job coordinating the trip from the beginning and had a local guide company lined up to take us on daily adventures. The weather was ever changing but the guides did a great job substituting for the original plan. 

High marks to the Solseed team, local guides and the hotel staff who did a great job making us comfortable and preparing food for us!!


Adventure to the Azores with The Yoga House Brandon

This was a fantastic trip. I liked the daily yoga classes and the balance between scheduled group excursions and free days.  
Beautiful accomodations and excellent food.      
I truly appreciated the great team of people that took care of me (before) and during this trip. Thank you!


The resort was the perfect location. A quick beach, walk to town and lovely facilities. For the program, the mix of activity and downtime was good. The leaders encouraged you to do what you needed to do for this week. This type of flexibility meant you listened more to your body and your mind versus just doing the  program. The program: yoga 2x day plus a hiking event. Loved that hiking offered an easy and hard option. Something for everyone. 

Journey to the Green Island: Yoga, Meditation, Adventure in the Azores

Attending this yoga retreat in Morocco with Sol Seed Retreats, led by Cat Lynch Capowski, was an insanely wonderful and truly transformative experience. From start to finish, every element was thoughtfully curated to nurture the mind, body, and spirit.

Cat, our yoga and qi gong teacher, is nothing short of amazing. Her classes combined breathwork, mindful movement, and deep stretching in a way that helped us release, reset, and reconnect on every level. Her presence and guidance were calming, empowering, and deeply healing.

Morocco itself was a beautiful surprise—I had no idea how stunning and rich in culture the country is. The landscapes, the architecture, the food, and most of all, the people, were incredibly warm and welcoming. I felt deeply touched by the kindness and depth of the Moroccan culture and traditions.

A special thank you to our guide, Ismail, who made the journey even more enriching. He was knowledgeable, open-minded, and passionate about sharing the culture and history of the places we visited. His thoughtful conversations and genuine warmth added so much to the experience.

This retreat exceeded every expectation. If you're considering this retreat—do it. It was a soul-nourishing adventure I’ll never forget, and I couldn’t recommend it more highly.
