About the Retreat

June is when Lisbon throws its biggest party. For Santos Populares, the old neighbourhoods fill with streamers and street parties, and the smell of grilled fish follows you around every corner. We planned this week right in the middle of it.

Your mornings start with a SALTY Sweat or a yoga session. After that, grab a board or lounge on the beach. Surf lessons are for all levels, so it does not matter if this is your first wave.

Then we go exploring. We take excursions to different parts of the coast, including the turquoise water of Ribeira do Cavalo, and you can pick your own adventure from a menu of day trips. One night ends with wine tasting and karaoke at the Surf House.

The big one is our night out in Lisbon on Portugal Day, a national holiday, when the whole city is out celebrating. Join our big dinner reservation or go where the wind takes you. Staying one more night? Lisbon's biggest party of the year starts the evening you fly out.

You arrive knowing a few people (or nobody). You leave with a group chat that will not go quiet for months.

LIS

Lisbon Humberto Delgado Airport

Group shuttle leaves at 12:00 PM

A few group shuttles run from the airport on arrival day, and the last one leaves at the time above. Landing later than that? We'll help you sort a private transfer - that one's on you.

Landing after 11:30 AM or coming in early? We can book you a car, or you can grab a taxi. Plan on about €35 each way.
