8-Day Surf, Yoga & Bouldering Adventure in Sintra, Portugal

The retreat is based at The Peak House, a project born from the owners' passion for travel and discovering new cultures. They wanted to share what their home has to offer, which includes some of Portugal's best surf spots and the stunning natural landscape of Sintra. The name 'The Peak' reflects the energy of reaching the highest point of the mountain, the place where everyone wants to be, and the hosts aim to create that feeling of achievement and camaraderie during your stay.

A typical day might start with a breakfast at the house, followed by a surf session at a nearby beach with transfers included. Afternoons could be free for exploring, relaxing by the pool, or heading out for a bouldering session at a local crag. Evenings often feature a home-cooked dinner and time to unwind with other guests. Yoga sessions are held at the house, providing a chance to stretch and find some balance after time in the water or on the rocks.

The activities are led by a small team, including the brothers themselves and Maria, a yoga instructor who trained in India. The instruction is friendly and patient, geared towards helping you improve regardless of your starting point. The focus is on having fun and learning in a supportive environment, not on intense competition. This approach has earned the retreat excellent reviews, with past guests praising the welcoming atmosphere and the progress they made in the water.

The house itself is designed for socialising, with communal areas, a pool, and a yoga deck. It is a real surf experience, but it's also about enjoying the simple things in life, like watching the sunset at Cabo da Roca, the most western point of Europe. The location offers easy access to beautiful beaches, hiking trails, and the historic town of Sintra, giving you plenty to explore during your free time.
