Ericeira, Portugal.
The worlds first surfing reserve
Yoga, Surf & Skate Retreat
Monday 16th- Friday 20th June, 2025.
About the retreat
You can surf with us, you can skate with us, you can sit with us. The mean girls movie quote 'You can't sit with us' is very 2000's and not at all what we're about.
Our vision is for the retreat to feel like a welcoming, inclusive safe space. Diversity and inclusion really are our core values. It's so important to us that we create a welcoming little community where you can come and find your tribe.
A day in the life
An example day will look a little something like this:
-
Rise and shine
-
Morning yoga and meditation
-
Time to journal and pick your card of the day
-
Beautiful homemade breakfast / brunch prepared with love by our in house chef. Pancakes are a key part of the morning routine and will always be available.
-
Surfing lessons and time to chill on the beach
-
Free time to explore the old town
-
Evening activity - anything from our painting workshop, restorative yin yoga, sunset yoga on the beach, tarot cards, tattoos with Clio; our in house tattoo artist or a meal out, just to name a few, we have to leave a few surprises for when you arrive!
“And at the end of the day, your feet should be dirty, your hair messy and your eyes sparkling.”

Meet Clio – Our Free-Spirited Sister of the Sea & Snow
Clio is the embodiment of adventure, creativity, and sisterhood. A true nomad at heart, she has spent the last two years carving through the snow in Whistler, Canada, balancing life between snowboard seasons and working in a vintage store. Her journey never stops; just a few weeks after our Portugal retreat, she’ll be stepping onto a plane once again, this time bound for Australia.
Clio moves through the world with fearless energy and an open heart. Beyond her passion for board sports, she’s also a gifted tattoo artist, bringing her creativity to life through ink. At our retreat’s closing tattoo ceremony, she will offer a special flash design—a sacred stick-and-poke tattoo for anyone who feels called to mark the experience in a permanent, meaningful way.
Clio’s travel journey began in Ericeira, where she spent an unforgettable summer with Anna, making memories and magic in a place that has a special hold on our hearts. It was here that she and Anna, our co-host, led their first retreat after summer spent together making memories. Bound by a shared love for travel, the ocean, and spontaneous adventure, we are beyond excited to bring that energy full circle and share it with you.
Clio reminds us to book that flight, chase that dream, and say yes to every adventure that calls our name. Her wanderlust spirit is contagious, and we can’t wait for you to experience the magic she brings to our retreat.

Meet Anna – The Heart Behind the Retreat
Anna is a passionate yoga teacher, artist, coach, and mental health advocate who calls the wild west of Ireland home. Inspired by nature, adventure, and sisterhood, she weaves creativity and connection into everything she does—whether she's surfing the Atlantic, guiding soulful yoga sessions, or holding space for growth and healing.
Her teachings blend movement, mindfulness, and self-expression, creating a retreat experience that nurtures both body and soul. With a deep love for community and transformation, Anna invites you to step into this journey, reconnect with yourself, and embrace the magic of the moment.

Dream Team Morning Routine
Each morning you'll be guided through a blissful awakening from your slumber. We'll take you through our tried and tested dream team morning routine. A gentle series of yoga, meditation, journaling and some oracle / tarot cards, followed by a soul nourishing breakfast (usually homemade pancakes but there will be plenty of options for you). While all living together in Ericeira last year we developed this beautiful little way of life and love sharing it with others.
We all fell in love with Ericeira for many of the same reasons, the surf, the people, the culture, the skateparks and of course the most beautiful sunsets we've ever witnessed with our own eyes.
Nature is a big part of surf culture and this is a big element of the retreat that we hope to immerse you all in for the week.
Think summer time when you were a child, running around barefoot and windswept from a day out adventuring with friends.
The present moment will be where we are living, soaking up the sunshine, belly laughs in abundance with likeminded souls, surfing, yoga, art, adventure and memories made to last a lifetime.
Accommodation

Perched the seafront of the old fishing village, the residence is located just 5 minutes from the village centre by foot and just 40 minutes away from Lisbon airport, and a 2 minute walk to the Atlantic Ocean where the best sunsets always happen.
There are 4 different accommodation options.
