Surf, Yoga & Nature Escape on São Miguel Island

The week is built around surfing and yoga, with about three to four hours of surfing daily and a yoga class each day to loosen up and prepare your body for the next surf. The instructors are long-time surfers and yoga practitioners who focus on making sure you improve, whatever your level. Because the group is small, they can teach you personally and adapt to what you need.

It's not all surfing though. You'll get to explore the island through nature tours and hikes, visiting places like volcanic lakes, hidden beaches, and scenic viewpoints. One night a week you'll head to a local restaurant to try some Azorean specialities. The rest of the time, dinners are homemade at the house, which becomes a big part of the experience — everyone sits down together, shares stories, and becomes friends.

The food is vegetarian and mostly local, with fresh produce from the island. Breakfast and dinner are provided, and snacks are brought along to the beach so you don't go hungry during long surf sessions. Tea, coffee, and water are available all day.

The hosts are a family who run active camps in several spots around the world, from snowboarding in Lapland (Finland) to surfing in Ericeira, Tahiti, and here in the Azores. They're environmentalists and love nature, and they aim to create a warm, home-like atmosphere where you feel looked after and safe.
