About Mainty Studio

Mission & Vision

At Mainty Studio, our mission is to create immersive retreats and workshops where art meets movement. We believe that slowing down, learning new skills, and connecting with nature are essential for well-being. Through small-group, all-inclusive experiences, we offer a space where creativity and physical practice flow together — always rooted in the unique rhythm of São Miguel Island.


We envision a new way of traveling: not about doing more, but about finding a rhythm. By combining artistic expression with surfing, yoga, diving, or culinary arts, we invite people to reconnect with themselves and the world around them. Our retreats exist to champion experience travel, highlight the beauty of the slow season, and foster authentic encounters with culture, landscape, and commu
