Book a surf lesson and learn a new skill with your partner
Learning to surf is great fun but learning to surf at our surf camp in Portugal with your partner is probably one of the most exciting things you can do as a couple. What’s more, learning a new skill or engaging in a self-expanding activity with your sidekick can be beneficial for your relationship… or at least parts of your relationship.
Think about it. You can experience what it’s like to learn together. Wipeouts will serve as opportunities to offer encouragement while riding a wave to the shore will have you both jumping for joy. Being surrounded by mother nature and immersed in the ocean is just an added benefit. All in all, booking a surf lesson at our surf camp in Portugal can only strengthen your bond if you approach it with an open mind.
Limber up with a revitalizing yoga session
The best practice for surfing is without a doubt surfing. But yoga definitely comes in handy given how the various poses lengthen and release pressure on the spine, open your chest and hips and otherwise rebalance your body. When it comes to couples staying at our surf camp in Portugal though, yoga is also a fantastic thing to do with your partner.
During a yoga session as a couple, you’ll access a whole realm of benefits. Increased relationship satisfaction, improved intimacy and increased communication are just some of the main advantages to enrolling in one of our yoga sessions. Yoga can also help to lower or eliminate anxiety thanks to its power to provide immediate relief from extreme stress. So book a stay at our surf camp in Ericeira, take part in one of our yoga sessions with your partner and say hello to a healthier, happier relationship.
Enjoy delicious meals prepared fresh daily
A romantic meal doesn’t have to include candles and dim lighting. A romantic meal can also be any meal that’s prepared fresh with local ingredients and served up in a comfortable setting. At our surf camp in Portugal, our chef whips up homemade breakfast every day and a new menu for dinner every night.
This means that upon waking up every morning, you’ll get the chance to check the waves than meander back to our camp for a delicious first meal of the day. Then after surfing your brains out up and down the Portuguese coast, you’ll be able to dig into some seriously top-quality tucker come nightfall. Did we mention all of our portions are surfer-sized too?
Walk down to Foz do Lizandro beach and watch the sunset
There are few things that can make the present moment seem like it’s all that matters than a beautiful sunset after a long day of surfing. The hues of pink, purple, red, orange and gold are enough to inspire and invoke passion in just about everyone who witnesses one.
The good news is that if you book a stay at our surf camp in Portugal, you’ll be able to watch a sunset from down at Foz do Lizandro beach every afternoon. Simply grab a blanket to sit on and a couple of beers to sip on. Then stroll across the road and pick out a private spot on the beach from which to drink in the brilliant romantic view your date deserves.
