What is the closest airport?
Faro Airport (FAO) is our closest airport and the one we recommend, but you can also fly to Lisbon or Seville airports if Faro is not an option.
How do I get from the airport to the surfhouse?
You can find detailed instructions about this on our Get Here page.
What time should I arrive? And departure?
Check in time is from 2pm and check out time is at 11am. We will be holding a welcome dinner on the arrival day served at 8pm, so anytime before that would be good. If you arrive earlier than 2pm or need to leave after 11am, be welcome to store your bags with us and make use of our common facilities in the meantime.
Can I arrive a day earlier or leave a day later?
Yes, you can add extra nights to your retreat with us if you like. All the accommodation options and prices can be found here burasurfhouse.bookworldhostels.com
Keep in mind that you might have to move rooms for the week of the retreat, if you’d like to stay in the same room for the whole of your stay, please send us an enquiry and we’ll try to make it work :)
Can I add any extra activities to my week?
Yes, activities like kayaking, boat trips or massages can be booked any day during your free time between yoga sessions. Other activities like surfing or paddle boarding take the whole of the morning, so they would be perfect for those 2 days without a morning yoga session.
Check all our activities out here.
These are not included in the retreat and the costs will be added to your balance as an extra.
Can I do this retreat on a different date than the ones specified on the website, like July or August?
No, our retreats are held on specific dates only. However, you can make a normal reservation at any time of the year and add a 3 days (or more) surf course to it using this link burasurfhouse.bookworldhostels.com
We have backpackers and surfers staying with us throughout the whole year so you will be in good company. This type of reservations don’t include evening meals, yoga lessons or the wine trip but they can be added as extras when available.
I am intolerant to gluten, can you cater for my needs?
Yes, we have gluten free options for all our meals. However, we can’t avoid cross contamination as we don’t count with a professional kitchen, so it would depend on how severely you react to it.
I am allergic to certain foods, can you cater for my needs?
Yes, as long as your allergy is not airborne. However, make sure you ask us before booking to make sure :)
What happens with my deposit if I have to cancel my trip?
If you need to cancel your trip for unforeseen circumstances, let us know as much in advance as you can. When possible, we will transfer your deposit to another date of your choice within the same year of your booking. However, if you cancel the retreat less than 30 days from the arrival date, it will result in the complete loss of your deposit
