Setting the Scene

Tucked away in the sun-drenched hills of Portugal’s Alentejo region, Herdade da Malhadinha Nova is a private estate and working vineyard that brings together nature, luxury and sustainability in perfect harmony. Spanning over 450 hectares of rolling countryside, olive groves and vines, it offers a peaceful and profoundly grounding environment ideal for hosted retreats that nourish mind, body and spirit.

A Place with Space to Curate

This is not just one house – but a scattering of beautifully restored farm buildings across the estate, each offering its own unique charm and privacy. With several accommodation options, Malhadinha Nova is wonderfully flexible for group leaders. Whether you’re hosting a small, intimate group or a larger programme, the property can be configured to suit.

  • Monte da Peceguina: the heart of the estate, with a main house, suites and a stunning infinity pool (7 suites).
  • Casa das Pedras: ideal for a self-contained group, with tranquil countryside views and private spaces (3 suites).
  • Casa do Ancoradouro, Casa da Ribeira, and Casa das Artes e Ofícios: individual villas, each with their own design narrative – from artisanal touches to contemporary flair – all blending seamlessly into the surrounding landscape (4 suites each).

Each space is infused with rustic elegance: whitewashed walls, natural textures and curated design details sit alongside expansive views and open terraces. All are air-conditioned, beautifully furnished and supremely comfortable.

Why I chose Herdade de Malhadinha Nova

The freedom of space, the flexibility of accommodation, and the deep-rooted connection to the land make it an ideal setting for immersive retreat work – whether your focus is wellness, creative expression, leadership, or transformation.

It’s a place that invites people to pause, recalibrate and reconnect – and that’s exactly what the best hosted retreats are all about.

Treading Lightly

🌿Herdade da Malhadinha Nova lives and breathes sustainability. The estate is organically farmed, powered in part by solar energy, and follows a low-impact, zero-waste philosophy. Everything from wine and olive oil to honey and herbs is produced onsite using traditional, regenerative methods. Buildings are restored using local materials, and even the Lusitano horses are raised with care and respect. Sustainability here isn’t an add-on – it’s woven into every aspect of the experience.🌿
