Where You Will Live
Authentic & Relaxed Wild Camp
Spacious. Organised.
We believe in space and breathability. For the 2027 edition, we have replaced standard camping with high-end, functional living.
Our tents are designed for two guests, featuring two separate beds for a restful and private stay. Wake up surrounded by nature, breathe in the fresh air, and enjoy peaceful mornings right outside your door.
Spacious Tents
Two guests per tent.
Elevated Comfort
Every guest has an elevated bed.
Solar-Powered Lighting
Solar-powered lighting included in every tent.
Where You'll Train
We believe a retreat is a moment to step away from the studio, so we organize pole training sessions directly at our wild camp — in the heart of nature.

Transfers included in Full Immersion
A pole dance retreat in Madeira always has an artistic touch. Activities include outdoor photoshoots in scenic locations, special editions with violin concerts combined with pole dancing, and boat trips with a hanging pole — a unique activity exclusive to the retreat. Transfers to all activities are usually included. This retreat is perfect for travelers seeking a creative and active pole dance holiday in Madeira.
Yes! Many guests join our retreats alone. You'll train alongside other travelers and have plenty of opportunities to socialize during meals, activities, and excursions, making it ideal for solo travelers or groups.
This retreat is suitable for beginner, intermediate, and advanced pole dancers. However, we do not accept complete beginners who have never tried pole dance before. If you find out about this event in advance, we encourage you to start practicing now and join us once you have at least 5 months of pole experience. We also offer other events for non-polers and absolute beginners — please check our website for more information.
It will depend on your ticket. If you are participating without accommodation, only the dinner on the first evening is included in the price.
If you are in a full immersion format, all meals are included. Please note that these are simple, natural meals such as yogurt, fruit, and vegetables. In some cases, meals will be delivered to the camp, and in others we will eat together outside.
On the arrival day, only dinner is included, and on the departure day, only breakfast is included.
You can secure your spot with a €390 deposit and pay the remaining balance in several installments. Payment plans depend on when you book your ticket, but we generally offer flexible payment options. Additionally, if you join with a pole friend, each of you will receive a €50 discount.
Due to the significant investment and long-term organisation required to host the camp, all bookings are final and non-refundable.
Once a ticket has been purchased, no cancellations or refunds will be possible.
In exceptional cases, it is possible to transfer your ticket to another participant, provided you arrange the replacement yourself. In such cases, an administrative fee of €150 will apply.
We recommend bringing your pole wear, swimsuit, sun protection, sunglasses, mosquito repellent, and comfortable hiking shoes. Please note that some light hiking activities are included in the retreat program.
Participants may indicate their dietary preferences, which will be communicated to our catering supplier.
However, if specific dietary requirements involve additional sourcing, preparation, or special arrangements beyond the standard offering, supplementary fees may apply depending on the nature of the request.
