Kayaking in Lagos Caves
Take a guided 2.5 hour kayaking trip through the stunning Algarvian caves along the Atlantic coast. Take a break along the sandy shores and enjoy a delicious packed picnic lunch together before you paddle home. If you have the entire day off for your retreat, this is a great time to explore the charming town of Lagos, which lies just 500 meters from the famous ‘Batata Beach’, where the kayaks set off for the daily tours.
Horseback Riding
Explore the backcountry of the hillsides on horseback. Excellent professional guides will tell you stories dating back over 40 years since the inception of their farm and keep you entertained along the ride. It’s a great way to unwind and connect with some equine spirits. Enjoy a delicious picnic lunch along the way. Rides vary from one hour, two hours, half day or full day adventures. Speak to us about planning your excursion for individuals or together as a group.
Wine Tasting
Nestled at the top of the sheer Atlantic cliffs overlooking the sea is a small boutique winery known for its great tasting wine and locally grown grapes. Enjoy tastes of the local blends served with tapas and enrich your knowledge of Portuguese wines – especially the traditional ‘vino verde’, which means green wine. Plus, you can combine this with a hillside hike along the stunning shore between Porto do Mos beach and Luz beach. A perfect way to spend the day if you want some activity combined with leisurely wine tasting and traditional tapas.
Surfing
Why not take a surfing lesson while you’re here? The Algarve boasts one of the top surfing destinations in the world – and for good reason. Whether you’re a beginner or advanced surfer, you can take advantage of the consistently good waves and explore some of the region’s most beautiful beaches while you’re at it! Go as a group or book an individual lesson while you’re here.
Hiking on The Cliffs
Take a hike between beach towns and enjoy some local food and drink on either end. Choose between Lagos to Burgau if you’ve got an all day adventure in mind or take a shorter hike and go between Porto do Mos and Luz beaches. No matter which area you choose or how long you want to hike, the breathtaking beauty of this area will not disappoint. Often called the California of Europe, the gorgeous vistas along the hike are worth every step!
+ Plus +
It is also possible to book massages, photo shoots at the studio with video/stills, Ilan Lev treatments, meditations, low flow yoga classes, aerial yoga classes and aquatic acrobatics classes with an Olympic synchronized swimming coach Sylvia Hernandez.
Each package can be customized for your needs and built to accommodate the number of students you’d like to bring.
