Activities
Stand Up Paddle
In a dreamlike setting, Stand Up Paddle combines the best of both worlds: it’s a great way to exercise while creating an instant connection with nature.
We offer guided tours, lessons, and equipment rentals for those who already practice. Besides improving balance and muscle strength, SUP provides moments of both tranquility and adventure for all ages.
Yoga & Yoga SUP
Inhale, exhale, and flow through your practice in a peaceful and beautiful setting. Choose between private or group sessions in ORLA’s dedicated yoga space, or take your practice to the next level with SUP Yoga, finding perfect balance on the water.
Kayak
Glide smoothly across the sea or the Ria Formosa lagoon in a kayak, perfect for adventurers of all ages and skill levels.
With roots in ancient indigenous communities, this timeless canoe offers a unique way to connect with nature, improve fitness, and experience the thrill of paddling through calm waters. We offer guided tours through the lagoon, and for more experienced paddlers, kayak rentals are also available.
Kitesurf
On the island, with consistent onshore winds, we offer the perfect conditions for kitesurfing, with lessons for all skill levels.
Ideal for thrill-seekers, kitesurfing requires skill, coordination, and an understanding of wind and sea conditions, delivering an unforgettable and high-energy experience. Depending on your level, you can choose between lessons or equipment rental.
Boat Activities
Rent a boat and create your own nature-connected adventure. Whether it’s a peaceful, family-friendly cruise or a trip to a secluded beach, let experienced sailors guide you through the Ria like no one else.
If you prefer to explore at your own pace, we can also arrange snorkeling or spearfishing sessions. For a fun-filled experience that kids will love, hop on a banana boat ride. And for adrenaline seekers, wakeboarding is an absolute must. With so many options, the spirit of fun and freedom is always the same.
