A MuLux ReTreat: Exclusively Yours Edition

MuLux ReTreats are synonymous with meaningful experiences. They provide the leisure and luxury you deserve with lasting memories to treasure and keep. Our programs are carefully curated to balance your free moments with scheduled sessions and gatherings that have real and transformational impact. We invite you to go inward, strengthen and rediscover yourself while exploring culturally-rich new settings.

We believe substance and authenticity are the pillars of connection and wellbeing. The retreat is a time and space to connect with oneself, one another and one’s surroundings and to unearth an awareness, acceptance, and perhaps even an awakening. Every retreat is thus tailor-made and mindful of each location’s particular attributes and amenities. In fact, no two are ever alike.

Our offerings are lovingly created, one by one, to transport and pamper you, for an experience that is uniquely ours and exclusively yours. Our ReTreat in Portugal awaits you.

The Setting

a place like no other, for people like no other…

Nestled between the hills of Serra de Grandola and the waves of the Atlantic is Melides, whose cobblestone streets give way to rolling fields and forests and a protected coastline. Its authentic charm and nearby wild dunes and beaches have beckoned internationally renowned artists, architects and designers to call Melides their home. While most surely prefer to keep it their secret, one acclaimed designer was inspired to share his love for the area, creating an intimate boutique property within the village. Luxurious yet discreet, your home away from home is a stunning amalgamation of custom and hand-crafted gems. Each individually-styled room and suite is a work of art with refined finishing and details, and all suites have balconies or terraces with views of the gardens. It is a relaxed but sophisticated place that houses a joyful celebration of Portuguese traditions and Iberian history with Moorish and Indian influences.

Privatised in exclusivity for our retreat guests and to ensure our signature quality, we welcome you to a truly unique experience.
