Retreat #2 Surf/Climb/Yoga in Portugal
This one will be somewhat more open in terms of daily activities, but more focused on the retreat aspect. Breakfast and dinner will be provided (lots of delicious fresh fruit and fish/veggie bbq's etc). We'll have a big house by the beach with a private swimming pool, garden etc; Morning and Evening Yoga and Meditation sessions; Thai massage swaps and optional Pilates classes; and a driver to take you wherever you want to go surfing or climbing (the craig's aren't amazing but the deep-water soloing is phenomenal). The house is situated in Western Algarve, between Lagos and Luz, and from the nearest beach (5min away) there is great fishing, sailing, windsurfing as well as cliff walks and hikes with spectacular views. We will have all activities/equipment rentals etc sussed so that it will be easy to go from your tasty post-yoga breakfast to your chosen activity. In case of bad weather I can run extra pilates classes and AcroYoga workshops.

7 days' accommodation
