Deeply intimate · Fully personalized

A Private Psychedelic Retreat in Portugal for Individuals & Couples

Our private retreats are designed for those who want an exclusive 1:1 psychedelic retreat in Europe or a private plant medicine retreat for couples or friends with full privacy and tailored support. Instead of sharing the space with a group, you or you and your partner receive the undivided attention of an experienced trauma-informed team.

You can work with Ayahuasca, Psilocybin (magic mushrooms/truffles), San Pedro and Bufo Alvarius in a safe, carefully screened setting. Whether you are navigating trauma, burnout, grief, a major transition, or a desire for deep spiritual realignment, this container adapts to your nervous system, not the other way around.

Each private retreat is built around you: number of ceremonies, type of medicine, level of intensity, amount of rest, integration time, and whether the focus is individual healing, relational work, or both.

Why choose a private retreat?

Your Process, Without the Noise of a Group

In a private psychedelic retreat, there are no other guests in ceremony. That means:

  • You are not impacted by other people’s emotional processes or intensity
  • Facilitators track only your nervous system (or that of you and your partner)
  • The timing of ceremonies, rest and integration is shaped entirely around your needs
  • There is more space to go deep, soften, pause or reorient in real time
  • For couples: your relationship dynamics can be held with clarity, without group projections

If group settings feel overwhelming, or if your themes are highly personal, a private ayahuasca or psilocybin retreat in Portugal may offer the safety, focus and discretion you need.

Safety & trauma-informed care

Screened, Supervised & Nervous-System Aware

All plant medicines like Ayahuasca, Psilocybin, San Pedro and Bufo Alvarius are offered only after a careful safety assessment, medical screening and psychological profile review. We do not prefer one medicine or another; we simply match the tool to the person and the moment.

We look at your history, current medications, psychiatric background, cardiovascular health and overall stability before confirming your retreat. If at any point we feel a medicine is not appropriate, we will suggest alternatives such as non-medicine work, breathwork or a different plant.

During the retreat, you are guided by facilitators experienced in trauma-informed work, somatic awareness and integration.

Flexible multi-medicine structure

1, 2 or 3 Ceremonies · One Arc

You can choose between 1, 2 or 3 ceremonies, with any combination of Ayahuasca, Psilocybin, San Pedro and, where appropriate, Bufo. For multi-ceremony retreats we often recommend:

  • 2 ceremonies: Ayahuasca → Ayahuasca / Psilocybin / San Pedro
  • 3 ceremonies: Ayahuasca → (Ayahuasca / Psilocybin) → San Pedro

These are suggestions, not rules. Your private multi-medicine retreat is co-created together during screening and preparation to respect your system and your intentions.

Packages & pricing

Private Retreat Packages – Individuals & Couples or Friends

Below are our standard packages for exclusive private ayahuasca and psilocybin retreats in Europe. All include screening, preparation, ceremonies, on-site integration and one online follow-up call. Pricing is in EUR.

The more ceremonies you choose, the lower the price per ceremony becomes, since preparation and integration are shared. This makes longer private psychedelic retreats more cost-effective while honoring the depth of the work.

Individual Private Plant Medicine Retreat

1 person · 1:1 psychedelic retreat in Portugal · 2 to 4 days depending on the number of ceremonies. The prices below apply to Ayahuasca, Psilocybin or San Pedro ceremonies (same price per ceremony).

  • 1 Ceremony · 2 days · € 1,200
    One private ceremony (Ayahuasca, Psilocybin or San Pedro), including medical & psychological screening, 1:1 preparation, your retreat stay and one online integration session after you return home.
  • 2 Ceremonies · 3 days · € 2,100
    Two private ceremonies with the same level of support. The second ceremony benefits from shared preparation and integration, lowering the price per ceremony compared to booking two separate single-ceremony retreats.
  • 3 Ceremonies · 4 days · € 2,850
    Three private ceremonies, often structured as Ayahuasca → (Ayahuasca / Psilocybin) → San Pedro, with ample time to rest, integrate and work through material in between.
  • + Add a Bufo Alvarius (5-MeO-DMT) ceremony · € 380
    A short Bufo Alvarius ceremony can be added to any Ayahuasca, Psilocybin or San Pedro retreat above. Because the preparation, stay and integration are already in place, it is offered as a €380 add-on.

    A short Bufo Alvarius ceremony for both partners can be added to any couple retreat above.

A private psychedelic couple retreat allows you to move through your individual and shared material with dedicated facilitation, away from everyday roles and distractions.

Focused single-medicine journey

Private Bufo Alvarius Retreat (5-MeO-DMT)

A dedicated private Bufo Alvarius retreat — also known as a private 5-MeO-DMT retreat — is a short, deeply concentrated container built around a single profound ceremony, with full 1:1 preparation, on-site integration and rest. Because the medicine itself works in a shorter window, this is offered as a focused two-day format at a lower price point than our multi-hour plant medicine ceremonies.

This dedicated retreat is for those who want to work with Bufo Alvarius (5-MeO-DMT) only. If you would rather add a Bufo ceremony alongside an Ayahuasca, Psilocybin or San Pedro retreat, it can be added to any package above for €380 (€600 per couple).

€ 865 · 1 person
Individual private Bufo Alvarius / 5-MeO-DMT retreat
€ 1,500 · couple
Shared private Bufo Alvarius / 5-MeO-DMT retreat for two
Day 1
  • Arrive around noon
  • 1:1 conversations
  • Ceremonies
  • Sharing & integration
  • Dinner
  • Rest
Day 2
  • Breakfast around 9
  • Final thoughts
  • Check-out around noon

As with all our work, the Bufo Alvarius (5-MeO-DMT) ceremony is only confirmed after medical and psychological screening, with particular attention to cardiovascular health and current medications.

Whether you are seeking a private ayahuasca retreat in Portugal, a private psilocybin retreat or a custom exclusive private psychedelic retreat in Europe, we tailor the number of ceremonies, medicines, schedule and integration support to your unique context.

Closed circles · fully reserved container

Private Group Retreats for Friends, Family & Companies

Beyond individual and couple journeys, we also hold private group retreats for closed circles who want to do this work together. The entire container is reserved for your group alone — no outside guests join your ceremonies. It is a way to share a private psychedelic retreat in Europe with people you already trust.

Friends
A small circle of friends moving through preparation, ceremony and integration side by side.
Family
Family members or close relatives choosing to heal, reconnect and realign together.
Companies & teams
Founders, leadership teams or close-knit companies seeking depth, clarity and renewal together.

Group size, number of ceremonies, choice of medicine and location are all tailored to your circle. Because every group is different, pricing for private group retreats is quoted individually after a short conversation about who is coming, your intentions and your preferred setting.

Who is this for?

Is a Private Psychedelic Retreat Right for You?

A private retreat may be more suitable than a group retreat if you:

  • Feel easily overwhelmed or energetically sensitive in group settings
  • Are navigating complex trauma, grief, burnout or existential crisis
  • Prefer full privacy and discretion (e.g. due to profession or public visibility)
  • Want focused, in-depth relational work in a private couple plant medicine retreat
  • Have specific intentions that benefit from a tailor-made, 1:1 psychedelic retreat container

If you’re unsure whether a private ayahuasca, psilocybin or multi-medicine retreat is right for you, we can explore this together during the screening and preparation process and discuss your options openly.

Where it takes place

Where Your Private Psychedelic Retreat in Europe Can Take Place

Our home base is a quiet countryside setting in the Algarve, Portugal, about 15 minutes from the beach — private, surrounded by nature, and easy to reach from most European cities. For many guests, travelling to a neutral, beautiful space is part of what makes the work possible: you step out of your everyday environment and into a container held entirely for you.

You are not limited to Portugal, though. A private psychedelic retreat in Europe can also be arranged at a location of your choice — a rented villa, a quiet retreat space, or even your own home, if that is where you feel safest and most able to let go. We will help you think through what setting best supports your nervous system and your intentions.

Please note: a retreat at a location of your choosing can only go ahead where the local legal framework allows this work to take place. We assess this together, honestly and carefully, during screening — before anything is confirmed. Where a chosen location isn’t suitable, we’ll suggest a compliant alternative.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between a private retreat and a group retreat?
In a private retreat, the entire process revolves around you (or you and your partner). There are no other guests in ceremony, which reduces energetic noise and emotional complexity. This can be especially supportive for sensitive nervous systems, trauma-related themes and couples work. Group retreats, by contrast, come with shared energy, more interpersonal dynamics and a lower level of individual attention.
Which medicines can I work with in a private retreat?
Depending on your health profile, medications, psychological background and intentions, you may be able to work with Ayahuasca, Psilocybin (magic mushrooms or truffles), San Pedro and, in some cases, Bufo Alvarius (5-MeO-DMT). All options are explored together during screening and preparation. In some cases, we recommend a non-medicine format, breathwork or a different plant if we believe that is safer or more aligned.
Can the private retreat take place at a location of my choice, including my own home?
Yes. While our home base is in the Algarve, Portugal, a private psychedelic retreat in Europe can also be arranged at a location of your choice — a rented villa, a quiet retreat space, or your own home — provided the local legal framework allows the work to take place. We assess this together, carefully and honestly, during screening before anything is confirmed.
Do you offer private group retreats for friends, family or companies?
Yes. Alongside individual and couple retreats, we hold private group retreats for closed circles of friends, families and companies or teams. The whole container is reserved for your group, so no outside guests join. Structure, number of ceremonies, medicines and location are tailored to the group, and pricing is quoted individually based on group size, number of ceremonies and setting.
How much does a private Bufo Alvarius (5-MeO-DMT) retreat cost?
A dedicated private Bufo Alvarius retreat (private 5-MeO-DMT retreat), where you work with Bufo only, is €865 for one person and €1,500 for a couple. It follows a focused two-day format: arrival around noon on day one with 1:1 conversations, ceremony, sharing and integration, dinner and rest, followed by breakfast, final reflections and check-out around noon on day two. If you would prefer to add a Bufo ceremony to an Ayahuasca, Psilocybin or San Pedro retreat instead, it can be added to any package for €380 (€600 per couple).
Is this suitable if I have a trauma history or feel very sensitive?
Many guests with trauma histories or high sensitivity deliberately choose a private psychedelic retreat in Portugal because of the quiet environment and focused support. We carefully screen for psychiatric and medical contraindications and only proceed if we believe the retreat can be held safely and responsibly. If not, we may suggest a different format or a later time.
Can we come as a couple but still have individual space?
Yes. In a private psychedelic couple retreat, you share ceremonies but also receive individual attention and integration. We create both joint sessions and separate time, so each person can move at their own pace while supporting the shared journey. This can be a powerful way to reset patterns, deepen connection and build a more conscious relationship.
Where exactly in Europe are these private retreats held?
Our private retreats take place in Portugal, in the Algarve region, in a quiet countryside setting about 15 minutes from the beach. The location offers privacy, nature and a relaxed atmosphere—ideal for deep inner work and integration while still being accessible from major European cities.
On request, and where the local legal framework allows, the retreat can also be held at a location of your choice elsewhere in Europe.
