Balance and Restore Package - 8 days - Ericeira

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 500m walk from both Ericeira central and the main beach and a few minutes' walk from the main bus station in Ericeira. In town you will find a labyrinth of cobblestone streets, charming regional architecture and picturesque cafe-lined squares that await your discovery and also daily long walks along the stunning coastline. The Salty has a seaview deck where you can lounge about all day in our comfy beanbags and sun loungers right by the outdoor swimming pool. Enjoy a good book or just relax with a refreshing sangria and good tasty food from our poolside restaurant. In the evenings the sea view deck is a good place to socialise after an active day of sun and surf with some relaxing music and the most magical sea view sunsets.
