Wellness & Surf Escape in Portugal: Yoga, Ocean, and Recovery

The retreat is run by Buddha Retreats, a small yoga and surf centre set in a country house surrounded by gardens and woodland, about an hour's drive north of Lisbon. The schedule keeps a simple rhythm: breakfast, surf, lunch, free time, yoga, dinner. The yoga classes rotate through Iyengar, Hatha, Yin, and Vinyasa styles, led by qualified teachers who adjust each class to the people in the room. The surf lessons are taught by João, a local Peniche surfer with over a decade of teaching experience, and the group is split by ability—absolute beginners and more experienced riders each get their own session.
