Explore the wonders of the Alentejo Coast, learn about the local culture, enjoy daily yoga and surfing classes accessible to all levels, and indulge yourself with delicious, healthy food. What about the wine? Wine is such a big part of this region and Quinta Camarena will be presenting a different small producer every evening. This sustainable program mixes a range of activities that will allow you to stay active, meet new people, and discover the wonders of the beautiful region of Costa Vicentina. You will explore historical towns and the natural protected park of Costa Vicentina.
The program schedule will be adapted to the tides to get the best surf conditions. Days will usually start with one of the activities: an energizing yoga class or a trip straight to the beach for a morning surf session. Never too early, this is vacation. Always followed by a delicious and healthy brunch to recover energy.
In the afternoon you will usually do the other main activity. In between, there will be a hike, a visit to the winery, and a local artisan. There will be some free time to relax and do nothing. If you can´t stay still, don´t worry: there´s a gym, bikes, and plenty of hiking trails to explore.

Our sustainable program mixes a range of activities that will allow you to stay active, meet new people and discover the wonders of our beautiful region of Costa Vicentina. We will explore historical towns and the natural protected park of Costa Vicentina.
The Yoga and surf classes are accessible to all levels. During Yoga, there will be options for both beginners and advanced. On the beach, the group will be divided by beginners and those who already have some surfing experience. Yoga and surfing are such complementary activities as they both improve your overall strength, balance and focus. But most important here , they´re fun and they´re supposed to make you feel great.

Close to the end of the program there will be a deep tissue massage to work on your full body, that at this point should be at least a little bit sore.
Highlights:-
Food and wine are part of Quinta Camarena's culture and play an important role in this retreat. You will enjoy two daily meals, always prepared with local ingredients and the group will talk about the origins of the food and its correlation with the environment and culture.
On every dinner, you will be presented with a different natural wine sourced by small local producers. One of the highest highlights of the program is the visit to a local family winery where participants will learn about their sustainable farming and artisanal production followed by a wine and tapas tasting overlooking the vineyards.
