From Faro
Faro is the nearest airport and it takes only a little over an hour to reach our retreat center. The easiest and fastest way is to book a private transfer or to rent a car. If you come on a budget, a shared shuttle bus is a good option too, but it takes longer. If you have plenty of time and enjoy the adventure of public transport this is also an option. We listed your options below.
Rent a car
There are multiple rental car companies, directly at the airport and if booked in advance often pretty cheap. Note that the rental company will ask you to buy full insurance. This is an option and totally up to you. Be prepared when they will ask you the question at the pick up.
For navigation you can fill in ‘Wolfs Yoga’ in Google maps or use our GPS location: 37.085157, -8.922333 in the address field (our street does not have a name). If your GPS system doesn’t recognise the last part of the road and shows you just a green field, don’t worry, there is a dirt road going left and you’ll see a big gate :-) Please park inside the gate!
Shuttle Bus and Private Transfers
Uber | Often a cheaper option then a taxi or private transfer with other companies. Also you can share the ride and costs later if there is a match with other participants!
Shared Transfer | from € 35,- The company will match random travellers with similar arrival times and stops multiple times on the way. Travel time is unkown: it depends on the amount of stops the plan. Do not book this service for the way back.
Private Transfer | ± € 100,-
Book a Transfer (Faro Shuttle bus & Private Transfers)| Choose this service if you arrive at Faro Saturday before 1.30PM. They will drop you at the village centre in Vila do Bispo. From here you can enjoy a refreshing drink on a terrace or explore the village. You can be picked up between 4PM-6PM (only), if you request a pick up in the centre of town. To Reserve a transfer | Select: Sagres, then Hotel Mira Sagres, which is actually in Vila do Bispo near our retreat where we can pick you up – Book at least 48 hours in advance online.
Book a transfer (Lagos Shuttle Bus: Private Transfers only)| Choose this service if you arrive at Faro Saturday at 2PM or later. They will drop you directly at Wolfs Yoga Vila. If you wish to drop your luggage off earlier so you’ll have your hands free to explore the surrounding, this is also a good option, as you’ll be dropped off at the doorstep.
