During this retreat, connect with the ocean by the surf. Slide away on your board, taste the saltwater and see the sun sparkling on the clear blue sea. Catch some waves and feel the pleasure of riding them. 4elements retreat will take you to see the spot where the biggest waves in the world break (Nazaré) and you will learn a bit more about surf in general. To balance out the Adrenalin from your surf experiences, yoga will be the perfect cure. A wine tasting and delicious vegetarian food complete this retreat.
NOTE: 4elements retreat youngest staff member Matteo was born in Nov 2020, so there will be a small child around :)
The house has five double rooms with private bathrooms on the first floor. Rooms can have single or double occupancy. Towels, bedsheets, and blankets are included. Common rooms like kitchen, dining and living room, yoga studio, and a shared bathroom are located on the ground floor.
The outside area extends over more than 2500 meter square feet and hosts our farm and garden for our guests to enjoy. If you come as a group (minimum five, maximum 10 people), we can reserve the entire house for you and adapt the program of the week according to your preferences.
Note that timings for surf lessons may vary, as they are always depending on tide and conditions.
This retreat includes one trip to Nazaré, home of the biggest waves in the world. You will get to visit the exposition of big waves and the spot.
Pedro is a true local here in Póvoa. He not only knows the area like the back of his hand, but is also a graduate in sports as well as a certified yoga teacher. He has various post graduations in the area of fitness and wellbeing and is a trained coach. He quit his job as a fitness director to fulfill his dream of his own business in the area of health & wellbeing together with his business and life partner Ali.
Ali left her home in Germany to build 4elements retreat together with Pedro. She has a passion for travelling and has lived a year in both India and Thailand, where she worked in a resort. Originally a trained bookworm (book seller and book scientist), during her travels and whilst living abroad and in Germany, she always loved to cook with people. She is super curious to meet and cook with you all ;)
4elements retreat is located in the lovely village of Póvoa de Penafirme, about 45 mins from Lisbon Airport. Póvoa has a pharmacy, a post office, various cafés, fruit shops, a bakery and small supermarkets for everyday needs. The city of Torres Vedras is a 15 min drive away, the holiday village Santa Cruz can be reached within 15 minutes walking.
The area here offers fascinating nature with a long and empty coastline. Two beautiful beaches are just a stone's throw away from our house. We're lucky to be located in a quiet village on the Silver Coast of Portugal, while being in the middle of several popular touristic destinations like Sintra, Ericeira, Óbidos, Peniche, and Nazaré.

Since 4elements retreat has a big farm with their own fruit and vegetables, those will be the main ingredients for breakfast, lunch, snacks, and dinner. Everything that can't be produced by our hens and the farm is bought locally. We prefer short transports and local farms and shops over strictly buying everything organic since many organic products in Portugal are imported.
If you have any intolerances, allergies or dislike some ingredient or food, please let us know during your booking. Please note that an extra 25 EUR will be charged for a gluten-free diet.
