Summer 2026

Under the Portuguese Sky

We’re thrilled you can join us in Portugal for a few days of beauty, ritual, and connection—timed with the summer solstice, when the light lingers longest and everything feels a little more open.

As the light stretches, we’ll gather for moments that feel both playful and unexpected—Midsummer evenings, a touch of theater, music that moves from fado to something a little more electric, and a Grateful Dead–inspired barbecue under the open sky.

Considerations for packing:

Midsummer night: green, garden effortless & light

Eyes wide shut: sultry, sexy; black, red, and everything in between

Grateful Dead Inspired BBQ: relaxed, expressive & a little nostalgic

Beyond that, pieces for time at sea, wellness mornings, hiking and slow pool days under the Portuguese sun.
