Let’s be honest organising a girls’ holiday is a nightmare.
One person ends up doing all the work.
The group chat goes on for months.
Nothing gets booked.
And somehow it’s been 20 years since you were all in the same place at the same time.
That’s why I created girls’ getaways just for you and your friends.
You come as a group.
No strangers.
No awkward small talk.
Just you, your friends, and a few days away where everything is already organised.
You don’t have to plan the schedule.
You don’t have to think about food.
You don’t have to “host”.
You just turn up, be together, eat well, move a bit, rest a lot, and enjoy being back in the same room again.
⸻
If you don’t have a group to come with — or you just want to turn up and not think that’s where the retreat comes in.
I’m also running a small group Reformer Pilates retreat July 14–18.
That one is for solo bookings.
You arrive on your own (or with a friend) and everything’s taken care of.
Two different things.
Same intention: making it easy to step away from life for a few days.
Gemma, London,

“I was hesitant to book, as I was going solo, but once I arrived I felt so incredible welcome by the other attendees and Victoria. It was the best decision I made to attend! Looking forward to attending another one!”
Laura, Glasgow

“I was blown away from start to finish. The venue, the Reformer sessions, the workshops - every little detail had been thought out so well by Victoria.”
Olivia, Switzerland

“Wow. Loved every single second of my winter retreat in Portugal. Cannot believe I got to do so many Reformer classes, ate incredible food and made some friends for life.”
Sue, Wales

“I came to unwind and relax, and i did exactly that - with some incredible food, Reformer classes and wonderful people.”
Sarah, Dublin

“I attended a 4 night Reformer Retreat with Victoria and it was sensational, and even that is an understatement!”
Michelle, Ireland

“From sunrise sessions to evening guided medtation, every moment felt intentional and restorative.”
Incredible Venues
An incredible venue - I have quite literally searched high and low for the best venues in Portugal, they are handpicked by me, and even though I am a little biased, they are wonderful!
Reformer Pilates
Reformer Pilates twice a day, this is where my heart is. I absolutely love Reformer Pilates and I have been teaching it now for over 12 years.
Portugal Love
Portugal - it is my home now and I want to share all of the things I know about it with you. I always try to use local help, local produce, local gift - I love the country and I want to support it as well, this is important to me!
I started doing this because I know how hard it is to organise a girls’ getaway and how often it goes wrong.
I’ve been the one stressing about whether the “luxury villa” is actually a dive.
Wondering if the restaurants everyone’s excited about are, in reality, terrible.
Sending emails, chasing replies, waiting… and getting nothing back.
What’s meant to be a fun trip slowly turns into another job.
I’ve lived in Portugal for eight years. It’s home. My partner’s Portuguese, my kids were born here, and I know this place properly not through Google reviews.
I know which villas are genuinely lovely and which ones just photograph well.
I know the restaurants that are worth going to and the ones to avoid.
I know the chefs, the venues, and who actually answers the phone.
So I started doing this for women who just want to get away with their friends without all the stress.
Everything’s already sorted — properly.
Reformer Pilates is part of it, but not in a serious way.
It’s just a way to move, feel good, and start the day together before long lunches, conversations, and time you don’t usually get.
This is about making it easy to actually go away with your friends and enjoy it.
That’s why I do this.

An incredible venue - I have quite literally searched high and low for the best venues in Portugal, they are handpicked by me, and even though I am a little biased, they are wonderful!
I love food, I personally don´t cook it very well, which is why I bring in the best chefs so we eat incredible food, and no limited portions, eat and enjoy with wonderful company!
Reformer Pilates twice a day, this is where my heart is. I absolutely love Reformer Pilates and I have been teaching it now for over 12 years.
Workshops - they honestly vary from retreat to retreat, but I know the best practioners here in the Algarve having lived here now for 8 years.
Portugal - it is my home now and I want to share all of the things I know about it with you. I always try to use local help, local produce, local gift - I love the country and I want to support it as well, this is important to me!

Come along solo or with a friend, either way you will meet an incredible group of like minded women to enjoy some time with, get to do some Reformer Pilates, eat incredible food, enjoy breathtaking sunsets and take time for you.

This is something incredible... You can create the Reformer Pilates Retreat of your dreams. You want Reformer Pilates 3 x a day - you got it. You want a Breathwork workshop? Done. A Stretch class? Yes, that can happen. This retreat is all yours...
