We’re Karelle and Fiona — co-founders of this retreat, connected by our shared love of cycling, eating well, and the stunning Algarve.

We met just over five years ago and quickly realised we had the same idea of a perfect day: a good ride, fresh food, great company, and time to unwind.

In 2022, we decided to bring that vision to life — and since then, we’ve hosted 8 retreats and welcomed nearly 50 guests from around the world.

Fiona is the founder of Paradise Cycling and has been guiding road cycling tours across Portugal for over a decade. She knows the region like the back of her hand and makes every ride feel smooth, safe, and just challenging enough.

I’m Karelle — a registered Functional Nutrition Therapist with a special interest in gut health, performance, and sustainable habits. I’ll be riding alongside you throughout the week and also sharing tools and strategies to help you fuel better, recover faster, and feel your best — on and off the bike.

We’ve designed this retreat to be more than just a cycling holiday. It’s a chance to reset, reconnect, and enjoy a week that’s as energising as it is restorative.

We can’t wait to welcome you. Get in touch!
