Program
Surf
You will have one surf lesson every full day. The lesson time is usually fixed the night before, making it easier for the planning. The timing depends on the best surf conditions for your level.
Usually, for level one surfers, you will use the soft tops for the first days before you can call yourself an advanced beginner and the instructor decides on you the hard tops. For level two and above, there is a range of hard tops which you can select from. If you are having your first go at surfing or have had a lesson or two in the past, you will start from the basics.
The basics include the introduction to the surfboard, the surfing spot, a warm-up, a dry session on the beach explaining the basics of the pop-up and safety techniques, and then going to catch the first waves. Your instructor brings you to the surf spot which brings the best conditions.
After an effective warm-up, your surf coach will teach you and help you to improve your techniques. After a couple of hours of enjoying the surf, you will head back to camp.
Your lesson covers the case of equipment damage. Simply put, Surf and Yoga Retreats Portugal sticks to an upper limit of one instructor per five students ratio. Also, it is important to note that they do not mix ability levels, therefore, you will feel more comfortable with your instructions.
Surfing is a fantastic family holiday activity and having kids for your surf lessons is always a lot of fun. Surf and Yoga Retreats Portugal does have an age limit for surfing guests though; they need to be a minimum of six years old and accompanied by at least one participating adult. Children who require their own room are charged at an adult rate.
Being able to swim to learn surfing is not a must, but an advantage to feel confident in the water, and maximize your progress and enjoyment.
Yoga
Start your day looking within, checking up on your emotional, physical, and energetic bodies through a supported and assisted yoga practice in the shala. Classes are created for your experience a complete practice and enjoying a moment of self-reflection, unwinding, resting, and relaxing. Attentive teachers will guide you with care and safety while on your mat.
Yoga is a spiritual practice for the body mind and spirit. Their goal is to offer classes for you where you can feel present, bringing wellness to your life. During your yoga lessons, there are workshops and sound healing sessions.
Location
The holiday will take place in Vale da Telha, Algarve, Portugal. The villa is located between the two beaches of Arrifana and Monte Clerigo.
Portugal is one of the most consistent places to surf in the world. The west coast picks up most swells, which means that during the winter months, it gets big sometimes. That is the perfect season for advanced surfers. From mid-May to October, temperatures are warmer and the waves smaller, but there will always be a spot on for every level.
The region of Alentejo invites you to a ride or hike through a picturesque and diversity of landscape. Days are sunny and the culture invites you to explore.
Cork oak woodlands, sunflower fields, and olive groves in the protected nature of Southwest Alentejo and Costa Vicentina National Park guide you towards the Atlantic Coastline of Alentejo, where you arrive in the peaceful village of Vale da Telha. A place where rocky cliffs are guiding you towards idyllic sandy beaches inviting you for a relaxing day at the beach or to get ready to catch some dreamy waves with them.
Through the doorstep of the backyard, you end up directly on the hiking trail toward Arrifana Beach. Other beautiful treks can be reached within a few minutes. In a short five to 10-minute ride, stunning roads are guiding you to one of three main surf destinations: Arrifana Beach, Monte Clerigo Beach, and Amoreira Beach. Ten minutes away, you arrive in the Village of Aljezur, the home of eco-friendly cafes and shops.
Southwest Alentejo and Vicentine Coast Natural Park
Southwest Alentejo and Vicentine Coast Natural Park is known as one of the most stunning coastlines in Europe. The national park itself offers you peaceful and isolated treks as a hiking paradise in front of the doorstep. Wild nature, unexplored paths, and a protected nature are waiting for you.
Following those treks by walking or car, you can reach idyllic beaches surrounded by cliffs and nature. Many bird species can be spotted and as one of the last places in Europe, you can be lucky to spot a otter in its natural environment.
Beaches
Arrifana Beach, Monte Clerigo Beach, and Amoreira Beach are just a few steps driving away from the villa. Within a little longer ride, you are reaching other surfing beaches. Catch unforgettable waves and live your magic surf moment in the refreshing deep blue.
The summer waves tend to be smaller than the winter waves. This is why it makes the summer months ideal for beginners and intermediates, and the winter for the more advanced surfers chasing the bigger waves.
