← All Portugal retreatsAbout this selection
One of only two World Surfing Reserves in Europe, Ericeira combines serious surf with a strong yoga and wellness community — an hour from Lisbon. Vipassana meditation in Ericeira — often conducted in silence for 7–10 days — takes on additional depth in this setting. The retreat context removes the obstacles that urban life creates for sustained insight practice. October is one of Ericeira's best months for retreat — Lisbon Coast's climate is at its most conducive to outdoor practice, the crowds are manageable, and teachers report that groups arriving in October tend to go deeper than at other times of year. It's a popular booking month, so plan ahead.
