Out of the Comfort Zone! A Balanced Beach Life Retreat

Nicole Gibbard and Remo Stefanic, invite you to join them on a 6-day and 6-night experience as they delight in all that life has to offer. They have carefully selected 2 private villas, 15 minutes south of one of  Portugal's most famous surfing capitals, Peniche, with its direct access to the paradise islands of the Berlengas Archipelago, one of the most beautiful places in Portugal.

"We offer you a chance to rewind, reset, and recharge, and to take a week to indulge in a natural detox of Functional Training, BODYART, yoga, movement, sun, sea, nature, adventure, hike, surf or horse riding, that is all about you!"

Daily movement sessions will be held in our light and spacious yoga shala with wonderful views over the surrounding area. Here, we will explore  the many different aspects of ourselves through a selection of incredible classes to shape, strengthen, tone, stretch and release tension in the whole body and mind, supported by the delicious culinary  experiences of fresh, local produce carefully prepared by our wonderful  chef.

Our villa is in the quiet countryside with beautiful views and only a 10-minute drive to the nearest beaches.

Activities:

Surfers of all levels are welcome here, and an expert team of instructors is happy to offer daily beginner surf lessons, with transfer to surf spots, warm wetsuits, and boards provided. The wonderful fresh air of the ocean, its salty smell, and ideal beginner waves make this the perfect opportunity to learn to surf! For those just wanting to watch and admire the incredible surfers in this area, warm sandy beaches await you with plenty of opportunities to hike the sand dunes, take a dip in the ocean, or just relax and watch the waves.

Alternatively, you can even enjoy horse riding on the beautiful beaches in the area, with riding tours from beginners to advanced, so everyone can enjoy this incredible experience.

Time to relax and explore:

How about exploring the historic & local town of Peniche, or take a trip to Nazare, famous for having the world's biggest wave ever surfed?
