Daily Yoga

Our yoga space is a purpose-built, air-conditioned studio, set in an elevated position of the retreat. The studio has floor-to-ceiling windows offering panoramic views of the rolling hills and beautiful countryside beneath. The studio is equipped with Manduka pro mats (rated the best in the industry), cork blocks, foam bricks, bolsters, straps and blankets. We can achieve the perfect temperature inside the studio and maintain a beautiful air circulation via the huge ceiling-mounted fans. Outside, we have a natural lawn and deck area where practice will take place at certain times of the year, depending on the yoga teacher and weather. Yoga will be offered twice daily.

Daily Fitness

Each day, we offer a variety of group fitness classes, ranging from high-energy cardio to bodyweight sessions—or a combination of both. Most classes take place on our stunning outdoor wooden fitness platform, which is covered for protection from sun or rain but open on the sides so that you can enjoy the ‘feels' of working out in the fresh air.

Daily Rebounding

Rebounding will take place on our beautiful outdoor wooden platform. We’ve partnered with industry leaders, bellicon, manufacturers of the world’s BEST bungee-based rebounder. It’s the only rebounder Jason will use because it’s the best quality, gentle on the joints, and provides a smooth bounce. These sessions are so much fun, you won’t even realise you are exercising.

Spinning

Our ICG spin studio is something pretty special. It is cool, dark and super-charged! Just step inside, choose your ride and start burning some energy. The studio is equipped with 50 IC6 ‘Coach by Colour’ bikes from industry experts Life Fitness. They offer a smooth, responsive ride that even beginners will love. Expect fun, high-energy classes, electric vibes and music that inspires you to push harder. Get your heart racing and your blood pumping with this unforgettable workout.

Volleyball

Volleyball has always been a highlight at our retreats, and Juicy Escape is no exception. Our beautiful court is complete with a protective net to keep the ball in play and minimise disruptions! Consider yourself a pro? Well, there’s volleyball….and then there’s Juice Master Retreats volleyball! So, get ready to learn our ‘retreat rules’, which are designed to keep the game interesting and the ball in play longer for those new to the game.

Walks & Rambles

Juicy Escape is set amongst the most beautiful rolling hills and countryside. There will be daily guided walks and rambles giving you the opportunity to get off camp and explore the area.

200-Metre Running Track & Mini Olympics!

The sensation of running on a proper track is exhilarating. It may be half the size of a standard running track, but the activity is no less challenging. There are four lanes with staggered starts and a 60-metre sprint at the end. We also have a 'mini Olympics' featuring hurdles, a long jump and high jump, so it’s time to rewind to your school PE days and get those athletic legs moving—on your marks, get set, go!

9-a-Side Football Pitch

The blue football pitch at Juicy Escape is iconic and at the heart of the Sports Zone. The pitch is where some of the group fitness will take place, but at any time, please feel free to grab a ball and some new retreat friends and have a kick around.

25-Metre Lane Swimming Pool

Next to the running track, we have a stunning 25-metre salt water swimming pool with designated lanes. The relaxation pool near the hub is perfect for unwinding, but this baby is designed for swimming. A lap or two around the track, followed by a few lengths in the pool, makes for the perfect start to your day.

Gym with Boxing Ring

You’ll LOVE the gym space we’ve created. It’s equipped with the latest Life Fitness machines and Hammer Strength equipment, as well as a versatile rig and a bunch of other kit for you to play with. Central to the gym is a 4m x 4m boxing ring, complete with punch bags and swing seats, so you can break a sweat on your own or have a gentle spar with a willing opponent.

Tennis Court

We have an all-weather astroturf tennis court— the perfect middle ground for players who love the best of clay, grass, and hard-court tennis.

Padel Courts

Padel is widely considered one of the fastest-growing sports in the world. It is a clever combination of tennis and squash, played inside a glass-walled court. It’s way more fun than we can describe, but be warned, it is highly addictive! We have two padel courts at Juicy Escape

Pickleball Courts

Pickleball is quickly rivalling the popularity of padel and, in the USA, is the fastest-growing sport. Why? Because it’s easy to pick up, fun to play, and accessible to nearly everyone—which is exactly why we’ve built four beautiful courts here at Juicy Escape.

Table Tennis

In our Sports Zone, you will find a cheeky outdoor table tennis table ready for some fun and friendly matches.

Teqball

For many people, this will be a new experience. Fun and fast-paced, it’s essentially table tennis but on a curved table, and your weapon is not a ping pong ball, but a full-sized football or volleyball.

‘Santa Monica Beach’ Gym

If you have ever been to Santa Monica, you will be familiar with the iconic workout area on the beach outside the Loews Hotel. This place has such a community feel, and we wanted to bring a little slice of this to Juicy Escape. We have scaled it to make it more achievable, but don’t be fooled, it’s still incredibly challenging and will test even the fittest athletes.

Indoor & Outdoor Saunas

Our beautifully spacious 4m x 4m outdoor loft sauna is conveniently situated by the main relaxation pool and can be used 24/7. For a more intimate experience, you’ll also find a cosy sauna tucked away inside the stunning Escape Spa*.

Outdoor Ice Plunge

We have an integrated ice plunge pool (1.8m x 1.8m), large enough to fit 4-6 people. This is located outside between the main relaxation pool and sauna. Available to use 24/7.

Hot Pools

Adjacent to the relaxation pool, we have a soothing integrated hot pool (3.8m x 3.8m). This can be used 24/7 and is the perfect spot to enjoy some nighttime moon bathing or stargazing. Inside the Escape Spa*, you’ll also find a second, circular hot pool for a more tranquil dip.

Relaxation Pool

Our main relaxation pool is located outside, next to the outdoor loft sauna, ice and hot pools. With its gentle, graduated slope, you can ease in slowly and cool off at your own pace.

Retro Games Den

The Den is a little hideaway where you can chill out on a Chesterfield, play a game of pool or put some tunes on the jukebox. We also have a retro arcade game, table football, and a dartboard for your enjoyment.

Cinema

Our 80-seater cinema is just stunning. Designed for luxury and comfort, it features individual velvet armchairs, plush carpet, ambient lighting, a huge screen and the most incredible Dolby surround sound. We’re confident you won’t be disappointed! Movies will be shown daily, often twice a day.

Library/Hub

Near the Juicy Cafe, we have our communal library/hub area. Not a library in the traditional sense of the word, but a space where you can curl up on a comfy sofa, read a book, play a game in front of the fire or enjoy a lovely cup of herbal tea.

Private Beach

Fine white sand and palm trees are the perfect combination for that holiday feeling, and at Juicy Escape, right at the heart of the retreat, next to the Escape Spa, you will find our very own purpose-built beach. Situated on the bank of the lake, it’s ideally located for a cheeky dip if you get too hot!

Freshwater Swimming Lake

We have been told that the lake is the largest freshwater swimmable lake in Portugal. It’s been drained, fitted with an enormous membrane, several pumps and a few hundred fish. There is a jetty with stairs, so you can enjoy a little dip and say hello to the friendly fish.

The Escape Spa

The Escape Spa is a work of art. The building itself is a feast for the eyes and something Grand Designs would have been proud to feature. Inside, you will delight in its Moroccan charm, and the use of natural materials and deep, comfortable beds instantly sets you on a journey of relaxation. Find out more here
