Surf & Yoga retreats, Portugal
On The Wayve is a community for women who want to surf, connect and experience the ocean lifestyle in a meaningful and grounded way. It brings together surfing, wellbeing, meaningful connection and the relaxed rhythm of life by the coast in Portugal, creating space to slow down and feel more present in everyday life. This retreat takes place in Costa da Caparica, a vibrant surf town just outside Lisbon. With long sandy beaches, consistent waves and a laid-back atmosphere, it's the perfect place to spend a week slowing down and reconnecting with yourself and like-minded woman.
At On The Wayve, we believe some of the best experiences happen when you step outside your comfort zone, try something new and share it with like-minded people. Whether you're catching your very first wave, improving your surf skills or simply taking time away from your daily routine, this retreat is designed to help you feel more connected, confident and present. Throughout the week, you'll enjoy surf sessions with experienced local coaches, nourishing meals, time to unwind and plenty of opportunities to connect with an incredible group of women. Beyond surfing, we'll explore the local lifestyle through sunset beach evenings, morning stretches, wine & cheese nights, coffee spot hopping, thrift shopping, a day trip to Lisbon and many spontaneous moments in between. Expect a week filled with ocean dips, good conversations, lots of laughter, new friendships, unforgettable memories and, of course, plenty of waves.
Surf
Our surf trips are built around the ocean and Roos’ passion for surfing, a love that’s at the core of On The Wayve. Surfing is the element that connects you with nature in its purest form, bringing a sense of presence, energy and grounding that feels both challenging and deeply rewarding.
At On The Wayve, we offer tailored surf sessions for all levels. Whether you're stepping on a board for the first time or looking to refine your technique as an intermediate or advanced surfer, we work with experienced local coaches to ensure you get the right guidance and support in the water.
For all levels
The House
One of the key elements of On The Wayve is comfort, that feeling of arriving and instantly feeling at home. That’s exactly why we chose a peaceful beach house in Costa da Caparica.
Our private house offers a modern, beautifully designed space where you can fully unwind after a day in the ocean. Clean interiors, natural light and plenty of room to relax make it the perfect base for the week.
Set in a quiet area close to the beach, you’ll wake up to the sound of birds and start your mornings slowly before heading out for a surf.
Portugese culture
Because Roos used to live in Costa da Caparica, she wants to show you the real side of this place, not just the surf, but everything that comes with it. It’s about the laid-back rhythm of a small surf town on the Portuguese coast.
Days here are easy. Beach time, a second surfsession surf when we got energy left, skating or running along the boulevard, coffee at our favorite spots, and sunset dinners by the ocean.
We’ll also head into Lisbon for a day. Not to rush through the highlights, but to wander a bit, thrift shops, good coffee, dinner somewhere nice, and finding those low-key spots you’d probably miss otherwise.
