The Lodge is a cool meeting point for people, who like to exercise, to practise Yoga and/or to enjoy nature at it's best. It is situated on a hill only a few minutes walk away from the beach Praia Grande. A team of experienced, sporty, international youngish people has converted former horse stables to a very special place - The Lodge.
By using recycled wood for stylish furnitures, solar panels for hot water and electricity, food from local suppliers they set up a very good example of sustainability.
The rooms
All 14 rooms provide shower/toilet, air conditioning/heating, iPod/MP3 docking station and high quality anti-allergic mattrasses ("Molaflex"). A complimentary bottle of delicious portuguese red wine is awaiting you in your room.
The Yoga pavillion
In the mornings and late afternoons Yoga is taught in the pavilion. There you can also find some fitness tools (focus on core balance rather).
The saltwater pool offers refreshment on hot summer days. Sun beds are available. The spacious garden offers some quiet corners for retreat. Twice a week the sauna is heated and on two other evenings the Jacuzzi. On all other days you can use sauna and jacuzzi for a little fee.
Bicycles can be borrowed for the quick drive to the supermarket. For longer tours you can rent them for a fee. How about a party of boule or dart?
In terms of sports and activities the focus is put on surfing, climbing and mountain biking. But also kite surfing, wind surfing, SUP, hiking, horseback riding, golfing etc. can be done.
Nearby you will find everything you need: beaches, restaurants, supermarkets - all in walking distance. By public bus you can get in less than 30 minutes to Sintra, an UNESCO world heritage city and former summer residence of the kings (many beautiful palaces available for visiting).
The rich and tasty breakfast buffet is served between 07.00 and 11.00 am, ideal for Yogis, early birds and long sleeper. For your sporty day out, you can take away a packed lunch from the buffet. Fresh fruits and tea are available all day long. The other meals can either be enjoyed in restaurants nearby or you prepare some food for yourself in the common kitchen of The Lodge.
The chill-out lounge with comfortable sofa and chairs made out of recycled wood is always open and provides a flat-screen TV, DVD, playstation, books and some games.
