Portugal has year-round good weather for the outdoors; this leaves you with many options of things to do and places to go... Whatever activities you choose there's a comfortable home waiting for you afterwards, even in winter.

Surfing, of course...

The Maverick is located close to Portugal's best surf spots for all levels from beginners to advanced surfers. There are many beaches within 10-15 min driving distance to choose from whether you are surfing, beach walking or sunbathing. Simply come surfing with the Maverick team or we are happy to recommend the best spots of the area to you as well.

Book your surf course with us! Our surf package includes 20 hours of coaching for all levels on 5 days. You can choose the days freely during your stay, which gives you the option to take a day of rest, visit Lisbon or enjoy one of the other activities available at the Maverick. We encourage our guests to include a rest day after the first two days´. For example - a 5 day course is 2 days surfing, 1 days rest and 3 days surfing. While the standard group size at surf schools is usually 8+ students per instructor, at the Maverick we believe in a low student-to-instructor ratio (5/1) to ensure you receive the attention you need and improve your surfing quickly.
We include a video analysis session during the week (full course) which can make a massive and positive difference to your surfing skills learning curve. While it's fun to see yourself surf, it's also very motivating and a great coaching tool. The video footage and all pictures are available for free at the end of the course.
Our licensed surf instructors are passionate about what we are doing. We want you have the best surf experience possible. It’s all about fun but safety will be top priority!

YOGA - we will have you feeling blissed out in no time.

Yoga is a great way to start and/or end your holi- or surfday --- by warming up your body and creating the energy by focusing on yourself before a session or by stretching and relaxing physically and mentally after a nice surf- or holiday. By learning to know and accept your body, you´ll improve your surf skills and bring your body feeling to another level.
YOGA & SURFING: Yoga helps to strengthen the key physical points to the surfing practice, such as arms, legs, back and wrists. It minimises the risk of injuries and improves the recovery time after a surf session, which makes Yoga so beneficial for your surf skills.

Yinyasa Yoga : Blend of Yin asana and dynamic Yang sequencing that brings deeper movement and stronger mind-body connection.
Foundational Vinyasa Flow A foundational class for people who have active lifestyles. This program is for people who want to learn how to practice vinyasa yoga safely, strongly and effectively, but want to do a relatively active program. In other words-- while the moves are foundational, expect challenging work, both mentally and physically.
Slow Flow: Don’t rush, flow. Ideal for intermediate yogis, the slow and controlled approach of this evening class will help you find challenge in stillness and structure. You will build dynamic flexibility and functional strength by exploring transitions and sequences designed to challenge traditional movement patterns.
Hatha: Find your center in this Hatha class designed to help you consciously focus your energy in specific areas of the body and gain a greater understanding of the mechanics of your muscles. You will be guided through a series of poses, utilizing longer holds to give you time and space to recruit the correct muscles, find a calm steady breath, and enter a meditative state.
Yin Yoga: Deeping practice to reach the fasciae structures, connective tissues and joints.
New this season: Aerial Yoga: Defy gravity in this fun and liberating yoga practice.
Meditation / Yoga Nidra: Discover ways to deeply relax and focus.
RETREATS: Check out the special Retreats @ the Maverick.

Lessons are held in our new yoga shala in the garden with beautiful views to the countryside.

Surfing is the prime activity in the region due to the great conditions. But the area boasts options for all kinds of activities:
