Home › Retreats › Wellness Surf & Surfskate Escape in Peniche, Portugal
Portugal · 7 days · From USD 750
This retreat is designed for those who want more than just surf lessons—it's a full immersion into the surf lifestyle. Each day follows a relaxed rhythm: morning surf, free afternoons, and shared evenings. You'll be guided by Diego, a local surf instructor who knows every spot and how to make a group of strangers feel like old friends by day two. The retreat is intentionally kept small, with a maximum of 12 guests, ensuring a personal and authentic experience.
Accommodation is at Tribo da Praia Eco Hostel, a characterful property built with reclaimed materials and a genuine soul. The hostel is located in the heart of Ferrel, surrounded by cafes, bakeries, and local restaurants, offering a true taste of Portuguese coastal living. The retreat includes 5 surf lessons and 2 surfskate sessions, with all equipment provided, plus daily breakfast and 2 group dinners, including a social BBQ.
The philosophy is simple: to unplug completely, embrace the ocean, and connect with a community of fellow travelers. Whether you're a beginner catching your first wave or an intermediate looking to improve, the coaching is tailored to your level. With free afternoons to explore Ferrel, relax on the beach, or join optional add-ons, you have the freedom to create your own experience while the structure ensures you make the most of your time.
Located just over an hour from Lisbon, Peniche offers consistent waves and beautiful beaches, making it a prime surf destination. The village of Ferrel itself is a highlight, with its unhurried atmosphere, local seafood restaurants, and a café culture that invites you to slow down. This retreat is perfect for solo travelers, couples, and friends seeking a memorable and rejuvenating week by the sea.
