Your Journey

An 8-day Yoga & Surf retreat

Blending daily conscious movement with guided adventure and deep human connection.

Where You'll Be

Póvoa de Além, Silver Coast · Portugal

Nestled in the quiet countryside of Portugal's Silver Coast, just 60 km from Lisbon — surrounded by wide nature, golden light, and stillness. A place that slows you down the moment you arrive.

A few minutes away, the Atlantic opens up at Santa Cruz — a vast, sandy Blue Flag beach with dramatic cliffs, clean water, and wild surf. Located between the legendary surf towns of Ericeira and Peniche, it's one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in Europe.

Beyond yoga and surf, expect coastal walks, sunsets over the ocean, and slow mornings in authentic Portuguese villages. The kind of place that makes you wonder why you ever lived any other way.

Yoga — Vinyasa & Yin

About Us

We're two sisters who fell
in love with the world

We've always been travellers. Independent, curious, free. Between us, we've solo-travelled across continents, taken spontaneous detours, and found magic in the unexpected. But somewhere along the way, we noticed something: the connections we made on the road felt beautiful — and fleeting. Exciting — and surface-level. We kept asking ourselves: why does it have to be this way?

So we built something different.

VOYA was born from a simple belief — that the best adventures happen when you share them with the right people. We wanted to create a space where you don't have to choose between freedom and belonging. Where you can show up alone and leave with real friends. Where spontaneity and structure coexist. Where travel doesn't just take you somewhere — it changes you.

We know what it feels like to want to go somewhere but be held back by fear, logistics, or just not having the right people around you. We built VOYA to take that barrier away — and replace it with a community that feels like home from day one.

You just show up. We take care of the rest.

Regina

Regina

Yoga Teacher

Regina knows what it feels like to be running on empty. Caught in the grind of an exhausting work life — always busy, always behind — it was yoga that cracked something open. Not overnight, but slowly, one breath at a time. That's when she knew she wanted to share it.

Today, she's a certified yoga teacher with a 200-hour Vinyasa and 50-hour Yin training. She isn't driven by perfect poses — she's driven by that moment someone finally exhales and lets go. She brings conscious movement, grounding, and presence into every retreat, making yoga feel accessible, real, and genuinely transformative, whatever your level.

Jess

Jess

Community Curator

Jess spent years building a career in finance — and she was good at it. But something always felt missing. It was only when she was travelling — really travelling, connecting with people and places, living spontaneously — that she felt truly herself.

That feeling became impossible to ignore. So she stopped chasing the career that looked right on paper, and started building the life that felt right in her soul. Today, she's the social heartbeat of VOYA — designing the moments, the energy, and the experiences that make a group of strangers feel like they've known each other forever.
