Surf & Yoga Wellness Escape on Portugal's Silver Coast

At Boa Onda Guesthouse, we believe in the power of nature, movement, and community to transform your well-being. Our 8-day surf and yoga retreat is expertly designed to blend the energy and excitement of surfing with the grounding, restorative practice of yoga. The retreat philosophy is simple: to help you reconnect with your body, mind, and emotions through the internal dance of yin and yang, of strength and flexibility, of action and stillness. Our daily schedule balances the adrenaline of catching waves with the serenity of deep stretching and breathwork.

Your day typically begins with a gentle wake-up and a delicious homemade vegetarian breakfast, featuring fresh, local produce. Mornings are dedicated to a 2-hour surf class, tailored to your skill level and conducted in small groups with certified coaches. After a leisurely lunch (either prepared in our fully-equipped kitchen or at one of the local restaurants), the afternoon is yours to relax, explore the coastal trails, or simply soak up the sun on the nearby pristine beaches. As the sun begins to dip, we gather for a 1-hour yoga class, designed to unwind the body and calm the mind. Our experienced yoga teacher, Chiara, specializes in hatha and vinyasa flows that complement your surfing and enhance your overall flexibility, strength, and alignment.

What truly sets this retreat apart is the holistic approach to wellness. Beyond the classes, we offer optional treatments like Sound Healing, Reiki, and massage in our dedicated treatment room (at an additional charge) to deepen your relaxation. We also foster a vibrant social atmosphere, with evenings spent together sharing meals, experiences, and laughter. Our founder, Riccardo, is a passionate surfer who has traveled the world, and his love for the ocean is infectious. He, along with our incredible team, creates an environment where guests feel at home from the moment they arrive. You'll leave with new skills, new friends, and a renewed sense of vitality.
