Portugal · 5 days · From EUR 1072 (indicative)
A typical day looks like this: yoga at 08:30, breakfast at 09:30, then out for your sea activity from 10:00. Surf lessons move with the tide; kayak and SUP trips head along the coastline to caves and quieter beaches. You are back by early afternoon and the rest of the day is yours until the 19:30 dinner. The hotel notes that times can shift with the season, and that Sunday may not have a yoga class — worth checking when you book.
The yoga is Hatha, Vinyasa and Yin, taught by Neida, who runs Neida Holistic Yoga School & Retreats. She is a Yoga Alliance RYT 200 teacher working towards her 500 hours, a Yoga Alliance YACEP provider, a Reiki Master and a certified coach, with over 20 years in personal and spiritual development. Classes are pitched at all levels, from complete beginners to people with a long practice.
What separates this from a standard Algarve yoga week is the water time. Two hours a day of kayaking, paddleboarding or surfing is built into the price, with instructors and transfers included, and you choose which one each day rather than being locked into a single discipline.
Al Karob itself is a quiet property surrounded by gardens, with a pool, terrace and a yoga deck. Rooms are individually decorated in modern Arabic style — no two alike — with air conditioning, private bathrooms, bathrobes, minibar, TV and wifi, plus daily cleaning and fresh linen.
Guia is a traditional Algarve village known for piri-piri chicken, about 40 km from Faro airport and a short drive from Galé Beach and the livelier Albufeira coast. The hotel can arrange transfers with their partner for €100 per person return.
