Enjoy the laid-back vibe

Perched atop of 30-metre sandstone cliffs, overlooking the powerful blue Atlantic, and a string of golden sand beaches, lies Ericeira, a fishing town in Lisbon district, about 35 kilometres northwest of Lisbon. The old village is charming and typically Portuguese with whitewashed houses, blue doors and window frames, tiles, chapels and narrow cobbled streets.

Once a peaceful coastal town, Ericeira and the surrounding coast has recently been recognised as the World surfing reserve, transforming it into a surfer's mecca, with over 30 surf spots with a diversity of waves for all levels.

Ericeira has a laid-back village feel and an interesting fusion of local village vibe, and global surf vibe. Traditional restaurants, bakeries and cafes, small local grocery shops, and town folk gathering at Praça da República for a game of cards and a conversation, mixed with cool surf shops, fusion restaurants, vegan options, specialist coffee shops, cool bars, and surfers from all over the globe walking around with their surfboards, mostly talking about weather and surf conditions.

Yoga and surf are a perfect combination, so with surf culture, came an increased need for yoga and other holistic disciplines, which makes Ericeira a perfect destination for yoga, surf & chill holiday.
