Star Pine Lodge was created by outdoor sports enthusiasts who found the perfect set up to follow their passions in the Natural Park of Sintra-Cascais.

Morning yoga
The morning yoga session is one hour and 30 minutes of Vinyasa yoga. Asanas with emphasis on balance, stretching, and strength will be the focus of this lesson.

Evening yoga
The evening yoga classes will be held before dinner. This one-hour yoga session focuses on how to restore your energy by relaxing your muscles and calming your mind after an action-packed day.
In order to provide you with the best possible surfing experience, we choose the best beach for you out of 64 surf spots within a 50km radius. Whether you’re a beginner, intermediate or advanced surfer, in our surf courses we will cater to your individual needs. Following our motto “smile over style”, we think that surfing should be primarily about having fun. We offer beginner courses in which you quickly and efficiently learn how to catch a wave. Our intermediate courses are about learning to ride a “green wave”. Our private courses give you the opportunity to bring your surfing to the next level. Highly motivated instructors, small groups, the right material and a large selection of beaches will guarantee an excellent learning success.
In the private advanced clasess, it aims at the surfer who already has some experience, who feels comfortable on the outside in small to medium sized waves, who knows the priority rules, is able to catch a "green" wave and ride it parallel. From their profound experience in surf teaching, Star Pine Lodge thinks that at this level private classes with a maximum of 3 students allow for much better progress, as it becomes so much more important to work on each surfer's individual errors and goals. In order to put your surfing to the next level, the certified and highly experienced instructors will analyze your surfing and sit down with you to define your goals for the duration of your course.
Our surf classes run 7 days a week, either as half day classes (one 2 hours session) or full day classes (two 2 hour sessions). Feel free to start any day.
