The climate in Madeira is consistently warm and temperate all year round. A vacation there is therefore possible all year round. The months of May to September are best for a visit to the Portuguese mainland, although the Algarve still has above-average sunshine and is warmer than Germany even in the winter months. A wellness vacation with yoga is therefore also a welcome change in winter.
In summer, the average temperature is 28 degrees. The water is also pleasantly mild and invites you to swim at 21 degrees. It is warmer in the south of the country than in the north, where it can also rain more.
In winter, the climate in the north of the country is similar to ours. The further south you go, the milder the temperatures become. On sunny days in the Algarve, with a bit of luck, it can reach 20 degrees, just like in Madeira.
With its impressive landscapes and beaches, Portugal is ideal for a family vacation with children. Some yoga retreats offer the option of childcare while you take part in a yoga or meditation session.
