7-Day Wellness and Surf Escape in Porto, Portugal

This retreat is a carefully crafted fusion of two powerful practices: surfing and yoga. We believe that the invigorating energy of the ocean combined with the grounding nature of yoga creates a holistic experience that benefits both body and mind. Our program is designed for all levels, from first-time surfers to those looking to refine their technique, and for yogis of every experience level.

Our surf lessons take place at Matosinhos beach, one of the best spots in Europe for learning to surf, known for its consistent waves and fine white sand. With a maximum of seven students per instructor, you'll receive personalized attention to help you progress quickly and safely. The yoga classes, provided by our partners at Om Academy and VARD, offer a variety of styles including Hatha, Vinyasa, Hot Yoga, and Aerial Yoga, ensuring there's something for everyone. Each class is designed to complement your surfing, improving flexibility, balance, and mental focus.

Beyond the activities, this retreat is about disconnecting from daily distractions and reconnecting with yourself. The combination of physical exertion and mindful relaxation helps to de-stress, declutter, and return home with a renewed sense of purpose and peace. The stunning location, just steps from the beach and close to Porto's vibrant culture, provides the perfect backdrop for this transformative journey.

Our host, Onda Pura Surf Center, has been sharing the joy of surfing since 1994. With over 20 years of surfing experience and a decade of teaching, lead instructor Duarte Arbues is passionate about helping others discover the ocean's magic. Our team's dedication and expertise ensure you're in safe, capable hands, whether you're paddling out for the first time or perfecting your pop-up.
