7 Day Surf and Yoga Retreat on the Silver Coast of Portugal
Rua António Franco Nº1, Póvoa de Penafirme, Torres Vedras, Lisbon, Portugal
Surf and Yoga Retreat Portugal
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 :)

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 ;)
Retreat location
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.
