Our retreats are all about your comfort. Make new connections and revive your soul in a luxurious and peaceful environment, with only good vibes. Practice yoga with an ocean view, nourish your body with beautiful fresh food, enjoy the beach, try surf or sup, go on stunning ocean shore cliff hikes, make new friends and so much more.

Check out the villa here!

Our retreat is located in the beautiful Algarve in the South of Portugal. This region is known for its stunning beaches with dramatic golden cliffs and turquoise water and year around great weather. The Retreat villa is located near the cute beach town of Carvoero. 

We are Anna and Jodie, surf and soul sisters who met living in Bali. There we fell back in love with life, with great local food, beautiful sea-view villas, amazing outdoor yoga, epic waves and most important of all, a real sense of community and camaraderie. This is what we have brought to Europe. This is the Bali magic we want you to experience!

With years in the high end hospitality and tourism industries, and a passion for the ocean and an active lifestyle,  we want to share the happiness this life can bring with you.

​

We organized over 20 To the Sea Retreats and we can't wait welcome you at our next one. 

Our hope is that you leave our little piece of paradise happier, healthier and part of a new family.

We offer 2 yoga session per day. A rejuvenating and stronger morning flow and a restorative evening flow. We practice on the rooftop with phenomenal views or down by the pool if it gets too sunny. In case of bad weather, we also have an indoor practice space. 

All rooms are uniquely styled and feature twin or double beds depending on your booking. Each room has an ensuite bathroom and all beds have comfortable high quality boxspring mattresses.  Check out the villa here! 

We love good food! That's why we always work with our favorite chefs who make amazing veggie and vegan dishes. Colorful , healthy but more important, delicious. All meals and drinks are included in the price. 

Surf lessons are always provided by Future Eco surfschool at Praia da Rocha, a 15-20 minute drive from our villa. You can book 1-3 surf lessons with us during your stay. We're in love with surfing and would love for you to give this amazing experience a try but if you like to kick back and relax by the pool or beach, definitely do so. Many guests do. It's your time!

I believe in living a life full of joy, gratitude, and free of judgement.

​

From the UK, I spent the last 10 years living in Thailand, Australia and Bali. Now I live in Munich, surrounded by lakes, mountains and rivers.

I love showing people the beauty of the water, both on the waves and under them. 

My love of water and its movements is the foundation of my yoga practice. We learn to be soft yet strong, playful as well as calm, and feel the connection. Like rivers, we all flow to the same sea.

I love sharing the joy practicing yoga brings, enabling all to flow down their own path to happiness.

I believe in inclusivity and connectivity, on the mat and off.

​

Life is amazing, let me show you how.

Absolutely not. Most guests are beginners. 

4. Do I have to book surf classes?

No, it's totally okay of you just feel like doing yoga or not so much at all. No judgement. Usually about half of the group surfs.
