Summary

A wonderful 7-day break awaits you in May on the Portuguese coast - a special time to take a deep breath, move and reorganize. May is considered one of the most beautiful seasons in Portugal: the sun is already pleasantly warm, the landscape is in full bloom and the hustle and bustle of high summer is still a long way off. In a small, exclusive group, a calm, trusting atmosphere is created that allows for depth, exchange and genuine connection, while at the same time leaving enough space for retreat, silence and personal time.

The days begin with an activating, modern yoga practice that will get you awake, present and well aligned for the day. After breakfast together, you have the opportunity to take part in surf sessions, workshops and impulses for personal development or to consciously organize your time individually - be it relaxing by the pool, taking walks in nature or with a view of the sea. In the evening, we come together again and end the day with quiet stretches, relaxation for the mind and a balanced, lovingly prepared dinner.

Accommodation

The Buddha Retreats Yoga & Surf Hotel is located in the small village of Columbeira on Portugal's Silver Coast, about an hour north of Lisbon and just a short drive from the beaches around Peniche and Baleal. There you will find a beautifully restored traditional quinta (country house) with garden, terrace and yoga rooms, nestled in green hills and nature, perfect for rest, relaxation and exercise in nature. The location specializes in yoga retreats, surf lessons on the Atlantic coast, healthy meals and individual groups in a cosy, family atmosphere.

Catering

The cuisine is created by local chefs with great care and attention to detail and is purely vegetarian, healthy and wholesome. Every day you can expect a varied selection of fresh, balanced dishes that nourish the body and are light and digestible at the same time. Regional ingredients, harmonious spices and creative combinations ensure genuine enjoyment without heaviness. On request, the cuisine can be individually adapted to any intolerances or special needs, so that everyone can feel well looked after and comfortable.

sequence

We start the day with a meditation - depending on the weather, on the terrace with a view of the sunrise. Coffee, tea and small snacks are ready for you early. Afterwards, an activating vinyasa flow yoga practice awaits you, which will strengthen you physically and mentally - sometimes flowing and powerful, sometimes calm and focused. After the practice, you can sort out your thoughts while journaling or simply enjoy the moment. Afterwards, a hearty breakfast awaits you - together in the group or in quiet tranquillity with a view into the distance.

During the day, you have the option of going surfing on Peniche beach. Trained surf instructors will show you your first steps on the board - an experience that will connect you deeply with the lively yet calm power of the sea. You can also look forward to workshops on topics such as inner team, resilience, strengths and self-efficacy. Short impulses, honest exchanges and practical exercises will help you to understand yourself better - with openness and ease. The rest of the day is yours to read, walk, soak up the sun or simply do nothing.

Look forward to special highlights such as an evening together by the sea at sunset, an Inside Flow Special and Shake your Shakti - a reboot for your nervous system that releases tension and gives your body and mind new freedom. In the evening, we end the day with a calmer yoga practice. Yin and restorative yoga, breathing exercises and relaxation techniques help you to calm your nervous system and consciously end the day - perhaps with a glass of wine, shared laughter and good conversation over dinner.

Arrival

Travel is not included in the price and must be organized by yourself. Lisbon is the most suitable destination airport. From here, a shared transfer to the accommodation can be organized and is not included in the price. If you prefer and are more flexible, you can also hire a car and drive to the accommodation yourself. There are plenty of parking spaces available.
