Dates: 5-12 April 2026
Welcome to Portugal’s stunning Silver Coast — a stretch of golden sand, rolling Atlantic waves, and laid-back surf towns just north of Lisbon. Here in Santa Cruz, wild cliffs tumble into turquoise seas, and beachside cafés hum with the easy rhythm of coastal life. It’s a place where ocean energy meets slow living — the perfect setting for a week of adventure, connection, and rejuvenation.
Our surf retreat takes place in an exclusive private villa, complete with a pool and sweeping views of the Atlantic. By day, we’ll dive into the waves for daily surf lessons led by local experts, explore the dramatic coastline on guided cliff hikes, and cool off with wild ocean swims. There’s space to learn, to move, and to grow — with surf theory, body movement classes, and video analysis sessions to help you tune into both your form and flow.
Evenings are for unwinding together — from surf skate sessions and relaxed BBQs on the terrace, to sharing stories as the sun sinks over the ocean. You’ll also get a behind-the-scenes look at a local surfboard shaper’s workshop, discovering the craft and culture behind Portugal’s surf scene.
This is your chance to slow down, ride the waves, and reconnect — with nature, with the ocean, and with yourself. The OAG Surf Retreat on Portugal’s Silver Coast is waiting for you.
