This superb boutique style villa is situated just outside the picturesque fishermen’s village Burgau.
Enjoy the wide view on the ocean from one of the terraces and take a dip in the pool to refresh after a surf session or a yoga class on their roof terrace. You can also book a massage treatment after your long surf day.
It is their mission to make you feel at home! Their 2 living rooms are spacious and comfortable with a wood burner for cozy evenings. Sit back and relax with a glass of local wine or a cup of tea after a surf day with your new friends.
Around the lodge, you can find plenty of terraces to soak up the sun and be protected from the wind. Enjoy the amazing view over the ocean from the pool in one of the sun loungers.
They offer luxurious bedrooms with comfy beds and all rooms have a private bathroom.
Programma
Yoga and surfing go well together. Both disciplines tap into a natural flow. In yoga, you learn not to force any pose, but to find the depth of the pose in the moment. In surfing, you learn that you can’t force a wave. Instead, you practice being fully in the moment so you can catch a wave.
There are a few benefits yoga brings to surfers: it gives you paddle power (high plank to low plank), breath control, brain to body coordination, and injury prevention.
Yoga
The yoga that you will practice in the mornings or afternoons is entirely designed to stretch and strengthen your body for the surfing. It is one hour of pure relaxation to start or finish the day with. Chicks on Waves believes yoga will improve your surfing in various ways.
Surf
Chicks on Waves offers personal surf coaching to small groups for quick learning. The coaches are passionate surfers with great experience and knowledge of the region and types of waves. They will also be your guide for the journey and take you around for a tour so you can explore the area.
Depending on the waves and tides, they will adapt your daily schedule to the best conditions that day. You will either practice yoga in the early mornings or in the late afternoon. After a nourishing breakfast (think oat meals, fruit juices, fresh bread and muesli, eggs, and daily specials), you will be picked up by their surf coaches to bring you to the best surf spot!
You will have 3 hours surf lessons (1 long or 2 short sessions) per day. There is plenty of time to chill out on the beach in between the surf sessions.

Locatie
Their beautiful boutique-style surf lodge is situated on the South Coast of Algarve in Portugal. The sea view surf lodge is located only a short walk from the stunning beach Praia das Cabanas Velhas, which is near the village Burgau. The small but lively village has a few really good restaurants and a pretty white sanded beach ideal for a stroll or for sunbathing.
About the area and climate
You are surrounded by the natural park of Costa Vicentina. This beautiful nature reserve stretches from Burgau till all the way up north to Aljezur and further. There is no mass tourism and big concrete buildings.
Instead, you find desolate beaches, untouched nature, and clean, clear waters. The Algarve is known for the many beaches to discover, there are over 100! It is in the middle of the road between Lagos and Sagres. Lagos is a nice town to do some souvenir shopping and great to go out for food and drinks.
Sagres is an upcoming surfer town with lots of surf shops and bars. Both towns are reachable by bus and worth a visit when you have extra time. This is probably the most beautiful area in Europe with the most sun hours.
The sun shines more than 300 days a year! Summers are moderate with north winds blowing and generating waves every day. During the day, it gets hot with a sea breeze and evenings are fresh.
Winters are generally sunny and soft, with some days of rain but when the sun is out, temperatures rise and you can sit on the beach in t-shirt and shorts, nice!
The water temperature is cold whole year through except a few days when the S winds are blowing and you get water from the Mediterranean sent your way. Luckily, there are wetsuits which make it perfectly possible to have warm surf sessions and stay out in the water for hours!
