Alina
Polina has dreamed of surfing and living by the ocean since childhood. At 19, she first came to Portugal and instantly knew she belonged. The moment she touched the ocean and stood on a surfboard, her life changed completely. Since then, she’s been organizing surf retreats around the world to connect with like-minded souls.
Andrea, originally from Piemonte, Italy, learned from his mum and grandma all the traditional recipes that he could as he would go to the market with them as a kid. As he grew up, he developed his own senses and style. Always with a wink to his roots, his kitchen is simple, elegant and full of flavours.
As part of your retreat program, Alina will guide you through intuitive art workshops that begin with a grounding meditation. You'll explore self-expression and creativity—no matter your skill level, even if you haven’t painted since school.
Her work invites a deeper connection with nature and your inner self, inspiring new perspectives through the creative process.
With over 15 years of experience as a surf instructor and a Level 2 certified coach, Miguel is deeply committed to sharing his love for the ocean and the sport with his students. In 2019, he founded Semente Surf School, connected to the oldest surfboard brand in Portugal, Semente, with 43 years of history.

Our guests' reviews
Girls, I thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for being a part of this retreat and thereby making it so special and unforgettable to me ❤️ Returning to Jenny's question about the happiest moment of the last six months, I can safely say that my highlight has been this week with you! You're all crazy cool, and I really hope to see you soon!
Hugs, Ella
Girls, I'm going home and I have realized the trip is over. But I'm so glad we have plans to meet, and I'm incredibly happy to meet all of you. You're all unique, so different, and I'm sure there's still something we can learn from each other and learn about each other. Thank you so much for giving me so many unforgettable emotions. Hope to see you ASAP! 🥰❤️

Booked the camp and my flights the following day, and a month later, I was in Portugal. I've been craving to do more things on my own and being out of my comfort zone because I needed time to think and disconnect to heal from a loss earlier this year and to be more creative in my work field. The camp kept me busy and all my responsibilities back home in NY on a five-hour time difference. It allowed me to meet humans from different backgrounds and in other creative fields, which opened my mind even more. I find it very valuable to open up your heart and mind to new individuals that will bring a different outlook on life. For this and many reasons, I'm forever grateful to you, Thiago and Zhenya. Thank you for showing me your beautiful and quaint town. It means the world. Mucho mucho amor

Many thanks Karina for such beautiful words I laughed😁. I can't believe it's all over either. It's been an incredible week. Many thanks to Polina, Tiago and Zhenya for the organization, I learned a lot and stayed alive. I'm actually a closed person (but Aperol helped me fix that haha) and I wanted to challenge myself by embarking on a solo journey. It was worth it, I gained great experiences and met such nice people. You are all so different but everyone was battling the ocean and that was a lot of fun. I will miss you. The world is round, maybe we'll meet again and jump into the pool together.😁Get home safe and take care🌸.

My heart is full and I'm grateful we had such a wonderful team on board!!! In these hard times when there is so much violence and blind aggression happening, this island of freedom, kindness and humility was needed!!! ❤️ I hug you all for that 🙏🏼 You're more than welcome in my hometown in Germany or we meet anywhere else in the world!!! Stay positive and kind as you are. Hugs!!!!

Guys, thank you all so so so much! This week was just so much needed, I felt happy all the time and I felt like I was living every moment in full, feeling it every minute, enjoying this amazing world, the people and all the interactions. Thank you Zhenya, Polina and Tiago for making it possible. It feels like I would come to party with you every time you organize something. Simply because it feels so good, you attract such wonderful people. I'm certain we'll be meeting each other again and again. I wish you all the best days in front of you and happy smiles. Thank you for everything! Big hugs!!! ❤️❤️❤️
