Discover Your Perfect Retreat

Ever dreamed of learning to surf but never had the right conditions or support? Or maybe you've given it a go a few times but still find it hard to catch waves with confidence? Our Algarve surf and yoga retreats are designed for beginners and laid-back holidaymakers who want a fun, stress-free introduction to surfing under the sun.

This isn't a camp for pros — it's for the curious, the adventurous, and those just looking to try something new in a relaxed, non-competitive vibe. It's a holiday that blends learning, sunshine, and serious relaxation. Build your skills with us, then take your new surf confidence wherever you roam.

Programs


Like the idea of morning yoga with the sun on your face and the salty breeze in your hair? That’s how each day begins! We’ll gently stretch and awaken your body as the Algarve coastline glows in the morning light.

After a nourishing breakfast, it’s time to hit the waves! With expert instructors by your side, you’ll learn not just how to surf better—we’ll also teach you about ocean safety, the local area and enlighten you regarding surf culture.

Post-surf, it’s time to refuel with a delicious lunch and chill out. Hang by the pool, explore nearby beaches or nap in a hammock. In the afternoon, there’s always something fun happening, whether it’s a scenic coastal hike or a laidback beach volleyball match.

Golden hours means restorative yoga or meditation. Here, you can let your body fully relax after an active day. A chef-prepared dinner awaits after your mellow afternoon. Get ready for some epic wipeout stories! Just remember that tomorrow is another full day.
