Create & Explore with me in-person: Portugal Watercolor Art Retreat 2025 with Nicki Traikos Announced

Are you dreaming of combining your love for art with an unforgettable getaway? After the success of our recent art retreat in France, I’m thrilled to announce that our next adventure will be in Portugal! 🎉 In October 2025, we’re headed to the beautiful Algarve coast for an immersive Portugal art retreat—and you’re invited.

If you’ve ever wanted to explore new landscapes, create art inspired by breathtaking views, and connect with a group of like-minded creatives, this is your chance. Our France 2024 art retreat sold out, so don’t miss this opportunity to secure your spot in Portugal!

P.S. if you want to take a peek into the fun we had in our France retreat, I’ve shared this video over on Instagram with some of the highlights!

Why a Portugal Watercolor Art Retreat?

Imagine spending a week along the stunning Algarve coast, where dramatic cliffs, golden beaches, and rich cultural history inspire every brushstroke. This Portugal watercolor art retreat is designed for artists of all skill levels, whether you're just starting out or a seasoned painter. It’s more than just a chance to refine your watercolor skills—it’s a chance to relax, recharge, and ignite your creativity.

What’s so great about in-person events like these, is the ability to connect with like-minded people that share similar interests and passions that you do. To be able to talk art, make art, and find inspiration among peers is like no other experience. If Portugal 2025 is anything like the last retreat, the people you will meet on this retreat will become your friends!

Here’s what you can look forward to:

🏡 Stay in a Gorgeous Villa

You’ll be staying in a beautiful, traditional Portuguese Quinta nestled in the Algarve countryside. Surrounded by lush gardens and equipped with a private pool and on-site art studio, this villa provides the perfect space to create and unwind. Plus, you’ll enjoy delicious, chef-prepared meals paired with local wines, all while building connections with a small, intimate group of fellow artists.
