Spicy Romance Reading Retreat
Portugal, 10th-15th may 2027
For the girlies who enjoy their books nice & spicy.
A playful, indulgent escape for smut-loving readers who want to winnow away to Velaris or ride off into the sunset bareback with their favourite bull rider, but are more than content with being sun-soaked in Portugal for 5 nights
This isn’t just a reading retreat. It’s a spicy reading retreat.
It’s a week where you get to eat well, read smut freely & laugh with girlies who like their book boyfriends morally grey and their holidays in the sun.
Over five nights, you’ll:
✢ Stretch out on a sun lounger with your latest book boyfriend(s).
✢ Devour your TBR pile (and add to it)
✢ Laugh out loud & share your “did they really just do that?!” moments.
✢ Cool off with dips in the pool between HOTT chapters
✢ Speak openly about your spicy books, with no judgement
✢ Play a Round of Mini Golf
✢ Head out for dinner one evening
Whether you want to devour your TBR pile, swoon over a Chestnut Springs cowboy, or just scream & kick your toes when the enemies finally become lovers with your new besties — this retreat is for you.

What does the week
look like?
Honestly? It looks like whatever you need it to.
There’s no alarm clock. No packed schedule. No one asking you to do anything.
The week has a gentle shape, meals together, afternoons by the pool, evenings that may go on longer than anyone planned, but you’re not locked to any of it.
Want to read in silence all day and come alive at dinner?
Perfect.
Want to talk about your book the entire time?
Also perfect.
Want to do both depending on the day?
That’s exactly the point.
It’s five nights of reading with people who get it. No explaining yourself. No apologising for the spice level or second guessing the level of detail you can reveal..
Just good food, (hopefully) good weather, and a group of smutty readers!
The Venue
In Boliquieme, a quiet, sun-drenched pocket of the Algarve that feels like a proper escape. Close enough to Faro to be easy to get to, far enough away to actually switch off.
The property is exclusively ours for the full five nights. No other guests, no shared spaces with strangers, no fighting over the sun loungers or getting up at 6am to reserve your spot with a towel.
Just our little group, the pool, and however many books you can get through in a week.
It’s the kind of place that feels like home the minute you walk in. The kind of place you’ll want to come back to.
