8-Day Surf, Yoga & Nature Eco-Retreat on Portugal's Green Coast

Each day starts with a homemade breakfast before you head out for your surf lesson. Loïc, Kate, and André — all ASI Level 1 instructors — keep groups to a max of 7 per instructor, so you get real attention whether you've never stood on a board or you're already linking turns. The lessons mix time in the water with theory and land-based technique work, so you learn to read waves and understand the ocean, not just paddle and hope. The local breaks at Cortegaça and Maceda are sandy beach breaks that suit beginners and intermediates, and if the swell misbehaves, the instructors have backup plans like exploring hidden lagoons or waterfall spots.
