Swimming Pool & Terrace

Thanks to its sunny weather, Portugal is the perfect place to enjoy summer and winter. With the highest number of sunshine hours per year, and the longest summer in Europe, Portugal is the place to be. Enjoy our outdoor swimming pool, and recharge your body with the energy of the Sun.

Mini-Spa

Surfing is one of the most demanding sports. After one or two sessions a day, some minutes in our sauna will help your muscles to recover for the next day.

Chill-out

Both inside and outside we have meticulously created chill out areas where you can feel like at home, whether you just want to chill, read, talk or enjoy the peace of this Portuguese gift of nature. Take advantage of the terrace and the outside areas and in winter just come close to our fireplace and enjoy a conversation with the staff and guests.

Gym

If the surfing conditions are not good, or if you feel like you still having energy to use in your body, our professional instructor will help you with a personal training focused on surfing. Go to the gym and prepare your body for surfing control and endurance specialized exercises.

Yoga

Find the perfect equilibrium for your body and soul complementing the practice of surf with yoga lessons. Yoga improves important skills for surfing such as balance, focus and breathing. Our morning lessons are meant to energize your body and mind and the evening lessons are good for stretching your muscles and relaxing after the intense day of sport and adventure.

Discover Sintra and Portugal

During your stay in Portugal, you will discover the area, and visit several beautiful beaches for surfing. But why not take advantage of the occasion and discover a little bit more of Portugal. Join our trips and explore Sintra and Lisbon, two cities you won´t regret to visit and discover.

Sintra

Sintra is a small and very picturesque city, a mandatory visit if you are in Portugal, located in the hills surrounded by the most beautiful nature; Sintra was a summer getaway for the Portuguese aristocracy. You will feel like in a fairy tale surrounded by colorful castles, amazing buildings and endless gardens. Unesco World Heritage since 1995, Sintra is a visit you can´t miss.

Lisbon

What can we say of Lisbon, one of our favorite cities, a European capital that is different from the rest; a place that invites you to walk and get lost into their streets, with countless corners to discover; viewpoints and places where you can breathe and feel the true life of Lisbon. Doesn´t matter how many times have you been, Lisbon has always something else to show you and worth a new visit.

Sintra Coast

The coast of Sintra is one of the most beautiful coasts in Portugal, not so famous as others, but full of little corners to discover: old fishermen towns built on the cliffs like “Azenhas do Mar”, the most beautiful beaches, old trams that take you to a different time and place that will make you feel like in a little Caribbean island. An area to fall in love with Portugal.

"The staff was amiable! The food was really really good. I love the routine in the house with yoga, surfing, healthy eating, and going in the sauna before bed. The house was a bit cold in the winter since Portuguese houses don’t have a heating system. But that made an evening at the fireplace extra cozy. And the closed garden room was always warmer because of the sun. The view from the was like a painting. And the beach where we surfed (a different beach can be chosen because of surfing conditions) was super pretty."
