Buddha Retreats is a yoga and surf retreat centre in central Portugal in the picturesque village of Columbeira. Since offering the first retreats in 2014 we have created a place where guests can recharge and slow down from the often fast-paced daily life and take care of body and mind.
At Buddha Retreats we are as passionate about teaching yoga as we are about teaching surfing and our certified instructors will make sure that you have the best learning experience possible.
Besides yoga and surfing we love healthy and yummy food. All our retreats start with a healthy and energising breakfast in the morning and end with everyone enjoying dinner together in the evening. We try to prepare most of our meals with fresh ingredients from the local farms and our own vegetable garden.
To keep a family-feel we never have more than 18 guests during our retreats. With the spacious gardens surrounding Buddha Retreats there is more than enough space for everyone to enjoy their stay.
Location
Buddha Retreats is located close to the west coast of Portugal in the village of Columbeira and only an hour drive north of Lisbon. The area around Columbeira is known for its cultivation of pears and lies along the western wine route with many beautiful wineries nearby and the medieval village of Obidos only a few kilometres away. The proximity of the Atlantic Ocean with frequent rain falls during the winter months results in lush and green hills all year round.
