ALENTEJO: SLOW LIVING AT A MICHELIN STAR WINE ESTATE
NOMAD HOME WELLNESS SERIES
NOMAD HOME: WELLNESS SERIES
Nomad Home is thrilled to introduce our wellness series, where we partner with leading Ayurvedic, TCM, spiritual, and longevity practitioners to create deeply restorative experiences that nourish your body, mind, and life for the long term.
Our Alentejo Wellness Retreat unfolds at Herdade da Malhadinha Nova, a Relais & Châteaux estate of 744 hectares in the Baixo Alentejo, ninety minutes south of Lisbon. Vineyards on schist slopes, an olive grove, a Lusitano stud farm, a Michelin Star and Green Star restaurant built on the estate's own organic produce, and the M Wellness Spa, all run by the Soares family.
Three nights to slow down. Morning yoga and meditation among the vines, bread baked the Alentejo way, a body balm made from estate botanicals, olive oil tasted at the source, a ride through the vineyards on horseback, and evenings around the table with the estate's own wines.
Created for founders, creatives and remote leaders who need a real pause, this Nomad Home edition gathers a small, selected group who share your pace and values. You leave rested, fed properly, and with rituals you can keep at home.
Malhadinha Nova: Three Nights in the Alentejo
-
Malhadinha Nova is a 744 hectare estate near Albernoa in the Baixo Alentejo, owned and run by the Soares family. Eighty hectares of vines on schist soil, an olive grove, organic vegetable gardens, a Lusitano stud farm and a working farm supply the restaurant, which holds a Michelin Star and a Michelin Green Star for its commitment to sustainability.
Guests stay across a handful of houses set apart in the landscape, each with a few rooms or suites, pools and long views over the vines. The estate is a member of Relais & Châteaux, and the M Wellness Spa, the winery, the stables and the restaurant are all a short walk or buggy ride from your room.
For our retreat the group has the estate to itself, with every workshop, tasting and class run by the people who live and work here.
-
The Alentejo is the largest and emptiest region of Portugal: wheat plains, cork oaks, whitewashed villages and some of the darkest night skies in Europe. Life runs slowly here, meals are long, and the food culture is built on bread, olive oil, wild herbs and what the land gives that week.
It is also Portugal's most exciting wine region. Alicante Bouschet, Touriga Nacional and Aragonez make deep, generous reds, and Antão Vaz and Arinto make whites with real freshness. Malhadinha's wines sit at the top of the region.
Lisbon is ninety minutes north by car. We arrange transfers from the city for the group.
-
Three nights built around one idea: slow down and make things with your hands. Mornings open with yoga and meditation on the estate. Late mornings are for workshops in the estate kitchen and atelier: a traditional Alentejo bread workshop, a body balm workshop with natural ingredients from the land, and a healthy cooking class built on the Alentejo pantry.
Afternoons are yours: the M Wellness Spa, a horseback ride through the vineyards, a walk through the olive grove ending in an olive oil tasting, or a picnic by the Ribeira de Terges.
Evenings bring the group together: a sunset wine tasting with the estate team, dinner at the Michelin Star restaurant, and a last night of stargazing. Every meal, workshop, treatment and transfer is included.
A Slow, Expert-Led Alentejo Itinerary
Designed with the Estate's Own Team
The programme was built with Malhadinha Nova's wellness, kitchen and winery teams, so every session happens with the people who live it: yoga and meditation led on the estate, bread and cooking workshops in the estate kitchen, olive oil tasted with the family who press it, and a ride through the vineyards with the stud farm's own riders.
Nothing is imported for show. The bread is made from Alentejo wheat, the balm from botanicals that grow on the estate, the oil from the grove you walk through that morning, and the wine from the vines outside your window.
Nomad Home hosts the group throughout, and the estate is ours for the three nights.
A Full Reset in Three Nights
The days follow one rhythm: move in the morning, make something with your hands, eat well, rest in the afternoon, gather in the evening. Yoga and meditation open each day. A traditional bread workshop, a body balm workshop with natural ingredients, and a healthy Alentejo cooking class fill the late mornings. Afternoons are for the spa, a horseback ride through the vines or a picnic by the Ribeira de Terges.
Evenings move between the Michelin Star restaurant, an olive oil and wine tasting at sunset, and a final night under some of the darkest skies in Europe. Throughout, daily ritual products by Twelve Phases weave the practices into your evening, so what you build here comes home with you.

Charlotte
CO-FOUNDER of HANDS London
My favourite thing about Nomad Home is being able to connect with a large group of people from all over the world. I usually make friends slowly but when you spend so much time with a group of people, you become extremely close very quickly. That has been rare in my adult life and something I’ll always treasure. I’ve made friendships that will last a lifetime - we have already planned a few meetups since.

Laurie
FOUNDER of Outsourceful
Running my own business can get lonely and repetitive at times so it was refreshing to be able to travel, cowork, and bounce ideas with a group of founders. Although many of us were from different countries, it was surprising how much we had in common. I’ve been to multiple Nomad Home events now and the London events were a great way to meet people in my home city. There are 4 of us that met that have already set up monthly dinners; we really left as a family.

Andrea
PRODUCT MARKETING MANAGER and CONTENT CREATOR
I’ve remote worked for 5 years and found that it’s been difficult to find people that love luxury travel and have a flexible lifestyle. Nomad Home has given me a community to grow together personally and professionally with, when I honestly didn’t realize I could make these deep of connections of my adult life. What’s better is I got to do it while wine tasting and dinner partying.

Jesse
CO-FOUNDER of BLA Design Group and FOUNDER of Adessa Visuals
I work a lot, which means I don’t have much time to get away, socialize, or plan travel itineraries. Nomad Home has made it easy for me to just show up, enjoy unique activities and dinner parties that are off the beaten path, and connect with interesting people working on cool projects I would have never met otherwise. It was even better that I got to do all of it while getting my work done.
