What’s Included?

Boarding 7x nights (Saturday-Saturday)

You will be staying in a simple but beautiful communal accommodation. You will have your own separate bedroom and bathroom then the kitchen/living space is for everyone which is where we will host all of our meal times. There is a vegetable and herb garden right outside your door which you are welcome to pick from and you might even be greeted in the morning by the neighbour’s cows so get ready to go back to a more human way of living!

Airport pick-up and drop-off

Most commercial flights in and out of the island are on Saturdays so we’ve picked these days for your arrival and departure to make it easier for you to come and go. There is only 1 airport (Lajes Airport) and it’s just a 10-minute drive from your accommodation so let us know when your flight is arriving and we will come and get you.

Training

You will have your training sessions Sunday-Friday 9:30-12:00. These will be a mixture of handstands, gymnastic ring skills, flexibility/mobility training and partner bodywork. (You can see the full schedule here).

Meals

Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be provided so please let us know if you have any allergies. This is a very small island with limited imports so most of what is consumed is fresh from the island! Your meals will be seasonal fruit and veg with local beef and pork plus some amazing local fish caught by yours truly! The kitchen also has a great wood oven so be prepared for the best slow-cooked stews you’ve ever had.

Day Trips

There will be 4 days when we will go and explore the island.

• Visiting the town Praia da Vitoria, hiking up to the viewpoint for some great pictures, having a traditional lunch and chilling at the beach

• Visiting the main city Angra where you can explore the old town and/or go for a dip in the harbour and see if you can find the shipwreck. We will hopefully have a chance to see some of the bull fighting festival too!

• Boat Trip around the island and snorkelling. Last year we saw dolphins so we might get lucky again!

• Then the most famous destination on the island, Algar do Carvao. The amazing volcano in the middle of the island that you can actually walk down into and discover the lake at the very bottom.
