Balance and Restore Package - 8 days - Cascais

Welcome to The Salty
At The Salty, we believe wellness is meant to be lived... not perfected. It’s about real connection, spontaneous laughter and the kind of shared moments that stay with you long after the sun goes down. Here, social wellness isn’t a concept... It's our way of life. We blend mindful movement with adventure, surf with stillness and community with calm. Think sunrise yoga, salty hair, shared meals and stories around the table with people who feel like old friends. Every day is an invitation to flow, to explore, to reconnect... with yourself, with others and with the world around you. Whether you’re catching waves, grounding on the mat, or watching the sky turn gold at sunset, you’ll find your rhythm here.

This is The Salty

A place where wellness feels real, connection comes easy and life moves beautifully between calm and adventure.

We are located at the perfect spot, just over 600m walk from both the beach and closest train station of Monte Estoril (2nd last stop before Cascais centre). Here you will find the beautiful seaside promenade where you can enjoy daily walks along the stunning coastline. The Salty has a beautiful garden where you can relax all day in either the sun or shade whilst enjoying a good book, refreshing sangria or just meeting new friends. In the evenings the garden is a good place to socialise after an active day of sun and surf with some relaxing music.
