Digital Detox Wellness Retreat FAQS

What should I expect from the Digital Detox Retreat?

Upon arrival, guests surrender their electronic devices to fully immerse in a setting that fosters nature connection and mindfulness, designed to rejuvenate both body and mind.

How do I prepare for a retreat without digital devices?


We recommend preparing friends, family, and colleagues for your digital detox by setting up out-of-office notifications and arranging urgent matters beforehand. This ensures a peaceful, uninterrupted retreat experience.

Do people come alone?
Over half of our guests are solo travellers. Joining a retreat is a safe bet for solo travellers because you're guaranteed to meet people with similar interests.

Are flights & transfers included?
No, you will need to make your own travel arrangements. We recommend skyscanner.com to find the best deals. Hiring a car is by far the most cost-effective way to get around. Before the trip, we'll be setting up a team WhatsApp group so that you can chat. Guests usually club together on transfers or car hire after chatting in the WhatsApp group. The resort is just 20 minutes from Faro Airport.

Are meals included, and what about drinks?


This retreat is half board, so you'll get breakfast each morning and then dinner. You'll love our delicious, locally sourced ingredients and responsibly harvested fish and seafood at our exquisite restaurants. We cater for all dietary needs or preferences, so you can relax knowing that we've got you in mind.

What's the accommodation like, and do I have to share?


The Viceroy Ombria is situated in the most beautiful spot. Its luxury feel, contemporary decor, and unrivalled facilities make this resort one of the most luxurious on the Algarve. The lush gardens seem to go on forever, and we will use them each day to exercise in. The Viceroy has four swimming pools and a wellness spa offering holistic treatments and signature therapies. You can choose to have your own room or share with a fellow retreater.

What if there is an emergency and someone needs to contact me?


In the event of an emergency, our trainers have access to a 24/7 phone number, ensuring you remain reachable if necessary, giving you peace of mind.

What kind of activities are included in the retreat?


The retreat includes a variety of activities tailored to enhance well-being. These include signature workouts such as Workout Away Revive and Tricore, guided nature walks, and wellness workshops focused on mental health and self-care.

Can I join the Digital Detox Retreat as a beginner?


Absolutely! Our Digital Detox Retreat is designed to welcome participants of all experience levels, including active individuals and beginners. The exercise classes offer modifications to accommodate everyone’s comfort and ability levels, ensuring that each participant can engage fully and benefit from the retreat, whether they are just starting out or are more experienced in their fitness journey.

What are the benefits of participating in a digital detox?


Participating in a digital detox helps reduce stress, improve concentration, enhance interpersonal relationships, and allow for deeper personal reflection. Guests often feel more refreshed and energized after the retreat, gaining valuable insights into their digital habits and learning new ways to balance their daily lives and manage stress.
