Portugal Luxury Surf & Yoga Retreat 

May 11-18th From £639 (full cost options below) 

In May this year we delighted to be joining you on a luxury surf and yoga retreat. Situated on the Algarve coast of Portugal this is really one of the most beautiful places in Europe to get away and enjoy gorgeous coast lines and great surf. 

Our Surf Lodge location has been carefully chosen to take advantage of two of Portugal’s best surfing coastlines, the south and southwest. Spanning 744 km², Portugal’s south-western National Park boasts idyllic countryside, unspoilt beaches and some of the cleanest water in Europe. We are a short drive from the nearest town, Lagos. Here you can find plenty of restaurants and lashings of culture amidst art-lined streets. Be sure to try the local dishes of sardines or cataplana (fish stew), and of course a pastel de nata with every coffee!

Our new surf lodge and surf coaching program is rather special and we think you're going to love it. Forget surf camp and think luxury ski chalet with a high quality surf coaching program from our level 2 ISA instructors to match.

• Ski-chalet-style accommodation
