7-Day Surf & Yoga Wellness Escape in Portugal's Alentejo Coast

The retreat is called 'Not So Serious' for a reason. It's run by hosts who believe a holiday should feel like a holiday. Mornings start slowly, with yoga in the forest or a drive to the beach for a surf lesson, depending on the tides. After a big brunch, the afternoons are free for exploring the village of Cercal, hitting the nearby trails on a mountain bike, or booking a massage. Late afternoon brings another session—surf or yoga—before dinner. On one evening, the group visits a local winery for a tasting, and every night a different chef cooks dinner using local, organic ingredients, with a glass of local wine included.
