art & surf retreat
Do you have a million ideas, plans and dreams… but somehow you never actually start? You want to create, but something keeps holding you back?
Then this retreat is for you. Join us for a week filled with ocean time and creativity, best of both worlds. It’s all about fun, flow and making space for the things that matter most to us.
This week is your reset. A chance to step away from expectations, perfectionism and pressure. To remember what it feels like to play, to create, and to follow your curiosity again.
The art of living
Creativity, surf, sisterhood and mindfulness
Expect a week that combines sunshine, connection and self-discovery with a group of awesome girls. Through art, surf, yoga and mindful moments, you’ll slow down, reconnect with yourself and leave feeling inspired and recharged.

What does a day in this Retreat look like?
An inspiring talk & exercise about selflove, perfectionism or creative block.

None of us are pro surfers or full-time artists. The week is not about becoming a pro or being the best, but about feeling that spark again. About listening to what your heart has been telling you all along.
I am not here to teach you how to paint, I am here to hold space for YOU to create.
But I am not an artist or a surfer…

exact location
A Good Place is set in the heart of the Algarve, in a peaceful area surrounded by amazing surf beaches. Just a short drive away from my three fave beaches, cute cafes or the charming surftown Aljezur with its little boutiques. Everywhere you see people driving around with surf boards on their cars and zink on their faces. The area is perfect for surfing, hiking and soaking up the laid-back Portuguese lifestyle.
You’ll be staying in a beautiful, cozy surf villa. The villa offers both private and shared bedrooms. Take a dip in the swimming pool, enjoy outdoor yoga in the garden or relax with some me-time on the big sofa in the living room. We have our own fully equipped yoga shala with mats and pillows, available for you to use anytime.

upcoming dates
when will you join?
Depending on the room you book you’ll share a twin room with another participant (you’ll have separate beds). Not sure or want to chat through the options? Just send me a message!
Who will I be sharing a room with?
Not at all. Our private chef happily accommodates dietary needs. Just let me know in advance and she’ll make sure you’re well taken care of.
I have a specific diet,
is that a problem?
You set your own pace! The schedule is designed with a balance between movement and rest. There’s always space to slow down and recharge.
Is it going to be a super active week?
No worries at all! We teach all levels: from complete beginners to girls who already catch their own waves.
What if I’ve never surfed before?
Absolutely! Many women come solo and by the end of the week, you’ll leave with friends for life.
Can I join even if I come alone?
The closest airport is Faro, Portugal. From there it’s a 1.5-hour drive to our villa in Aljezur. I’ll connect all the girls beforehand so we can arrange shared transport together.
Prefer flying to Lisbon? That’s also totally fine! There are good train and bus connections to the south.
Where should I fly to?

so, are you excited yet?
Join a sanny retreat!
We care deeply about the experience of each person who joins. To make sure we are the right fit for you (and that you’re a good fit for the group), we ask everyone to apply through a short call. This helps us create the safest, most supportive space possible for everybody.
During the call, we’ll talk about where you’re at, what you’re hoping to get out of the retreat and whether this program is aligned with what you need right now. You’ll also get the chance to ask any questions and feel out if this retreat feels right for you. Spaces are limited and the group stays small. Once it’s full, it’s full.
