Buddha Retreats is a yoga and surf place in the picturesque village of Columbeira, Portugal, 70km north of Lisbon. Buddha Retreats offers a place where guests can relax, recharge, and slow down from the often fast-paced daily life and take care of body and mind.
The property consists of a main house, several additional buildings, terraces, an indoor and outdoor yoga studio, a swimming pool, a small river, fruit trees, a meditation garden, and rural land. The spacious gardens surrounding Buddha Retreats make sure that there is more than enough space for everyone to enjoy their stay.
To keep a family feel, they never have more than 20 guests staying in their beautiful quinta in comfortable single and double bedrooms.
The main house has nine bedrooms and six bathrooms, and an annex with three apartments. The large south-facing terrace with beautiful views over the surrounding green hills is the ideal place to enjoy dinner or just relax with a book.
The spacious living and dining room is the center of the house where meals can be enjoyed together, and the big fireplace makes sure that even during colder days, it is warm and cozy. There is an indoor and outdoor yoga space for daily yoga classes and an outdoor swimming pool to cool down during the warmer days.
The main house is surrounded by a big garden with numerous fruit trees which offers enough space for everyone to relax. For guests arriving by car, there is a car park on the grounds. The quinta has been built and expanded over the years so every room is different and has its own character. As the main house is built against a rock, its different levels give it a unique character. Each room has a different size and offers different views of the surrounding area. The guest rooms are divided over four levels with no more than four rooms per floor.
They have three suites with private bathrooms that have access to the garden and seven single and double rooms with shared bathrooms. There are never more than three rooms sharing one bathroom.
Please be aware that they have several cats and dogs living at the retreat center. They are all very friendly but if you are allergic to cats or dogs, Buddha Retreats might not be the most suitable place for you.

Retreat locatie
The property is located on a spacious plot at the edge of the small village of Columbeira and is surrounded by lush green hills. There are several hiking trails in close vicinity. This area of the coast is easy to reach from Lisbon by public transport and car (about 40 minutes). Several budget airlines fly from different parts of Europe to Lisbon, which makes this long weekend yoga retreat a perfect getaway.
Surfing spot
It is possible to have the option to go surfing for an extra charge as there are plenty of surf spots to be found within a short drive from Buddha Retreats, from gentle beach breaks at Baleal to the fast and hollow waves at Supertubos.
Most spots are just north or south of the fishing town Peniche, situated on a small peninsula with waves all year round, with bigger swell sizes in autumn and winter and smaller swells throughout the rest of the year.
Due to the shape of the peninsula, there are plenty of options for just about any swell or wind direction. You can reach more than ten surfing spots for all levels - from beginners to advanced surfers - within a short drive from Buddha Retreats.
For more information on surf classes please send a message via the Send Inquiry button to Buddha Retreats directly.

Eten

They serve an abundance of locally grown fresh fruits and vegetables, often coming from their own garden or the local markets. The menu is based on the philosophy of whole foods, so they avoid processed foods and preservatives.
