7 Day Transformative Surf and Yoga Camp in Vila Nova de Milfontes, Alentejo, Portugal

Facilities

Vila Nova de Milfontes is a warm and welcoming coastal town where authenticity still defines everyday life. With its small, close-knit community, friendly locals, and genuine Portuguese charm, it’s a place where visitors quickly feel at home. Restaurants with delicious local cuisine, bars by the beach, and cohabitation with nature constitute the village. Typical of a town in Alentejo, life here moves at an easy pace, shaped by good people, simple pleasures, and a strong connection to the ocean.

The surf scene

Although it has been developing over the last few years, the surf scene here is still small. Not because of the quality of the waves, but due to how rural the region is. Most of the spots around are beach breaks, creating a friendly playground for beginners, but it can get pretty good for all levels. When the waves get bigger, Praia das Furnas becomes a beginner's paradise, with soft and long waves over sand. Being the closest beach to our site, it is just 3 minutes away. When the swell drops, Malhão and Aivados turn on and create peaks all over the beach. The crowd is usually mellow; only in August can it get more crowded, mostly in Malhão. There are other spots and beaches around to explore, as there’s always a corner you haven´t seen before.

The yoga vibes

Beautiful landscapes, mellow warm weather, and a slow living style make the venue the perfect spot to practice yoga. Whether you want to be physically prepared and focused for a surf session or to relax and connect after a full day, Yin, Hatha, or Vinyasa yoga will do the work. The experienced yoga instructors will nurture your body and soul through ancient yoga techniques (postures, breathwork, meditation), sound experiences, ice baths, and philosophy. If quality personal time and connection with your true self and with others is your goal for this summer, the retreat center, with its quiet and safe environment, is ideal for you.
