A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE OF A WEEK OF YOGA, Stand-up paddleboard & ADVENTURE in one of the most beautiful AREA on Mediterranean coastline
We’ll be exploring the beautiful west coast of Sardinia in the sunshine fuelled by great food and incredible local wine. This retreat is the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation, with days filled with paddleboarding in beautiful locations, hiking rugged landscapes, and daily yoga practices.
Each day we’ll explore a new location by stand up paddleboard and foot. Paddling along the coastline on crystal clear waters and discovering hidden beaches. We’ll hike ancient trails, and get into the wildest sections of Sardinia for a true adventure in nature.
JOIN THE TRIBE
SUP
Stand Up Paddle Boarding… After breakfast, you’ll head down to the beach for your morning SUP lessons. Our SUP school is run by qualified ISA instructors and we welcome all levels – including complete beginners. Stand up paddle boarding will give you one of the most amazing perspectives of the surrounding beaches and hidden coves in Sardinia.
* The risks of becoming totally addicted to this sport are pretty high… We just thought you should know !
Yoga & SUPYoga
During the NuAdventure Retreat, we will step on the mat every day! The practices will be Vinyasa-based and tailored to the group and each individual.
If you’ve never even set foot on a mat, no problem, there’s a common misconception that you have to be flexible to do yoga. Our instructor is highly experienced and will guide you through the practice, teaching you about breath work and adapting the postures for your body and level.
Yoga is fantastic not only for improving flexibility, strength and balance (great for paddleboarding) it’s also a great way to unwind and reconnect with yourself.
Our intention is to accompany you into exploring beyond the practice of the poses. We will explore with you different styles, and will be introducing conscious breath-work. We will also combine the yoga practices with SUPYoga and/or other sessions in the afternoon. We will spend our days exploring and finding the nicest spots for stand-up paddling along the beautiful shoreline. We will ensure we don’t miss any of the stunning sunsets that the Islands offer.
NUTRITION
Busy bodies need to be fuelled with tasty and nutritious foods. We do this by eating real, fresh, nutritionally dense and seasonally relevant dishes. We try to strike a balance between healthy food and some of the Sardinian specialties. These are the slow foods that have been grown, procured and prepared locally according to ancient traditions. But of course, there may even be one or two modern treats along the way. To live this experience to the fullest, you’ll obviously need some very good fuel, and that’s why we thought of including a delicious & healthy menu. The NuAdventure’ approach is all about eating clean, without compromising the pleasure. We believe in finding the right balance. We’ll be eating in fantastic restaurants and with local host families for an authentic experience, including our fantastic pasta making workshop!
ADVENTURE
“You think adventure is dangerous…try routine, it’s lethal.”
Sardinia is still such a raw & wild country to explore. It’s in our DNA: setting out into unknown territory, leaving comfort zones far behind and discovering what the universe has in store. Adventure is good for your body, your mind, and spirit. At NuAdventure, it’s the course that connects – people, nature, and motivated exercise. It challenges and rewards us, with experience, wisdom, and stories to tell.
WINE
In Sardinia, the wine has always represented an important resource, an ancient history which is capable of surprising even today; an indissoluble heritage from culture, from places and from people who live here. From white wines to reds, an enological path also passing in the other styles and, among them, authentic rarities, extraordinary representatives of the island’s winemaking, such as Malvasia di Bosa and Vernaccia di Oristano. Two wonderful examples of wines with an extraordinary ancient taste, which give their best with very long times of aging. The noble D.O.C. wine Malvasia di Bosa, which in these lands fins not only its cultural and social terroir but that here is still produced and refined thanks to the passion and pride of a few resistant vigneron, strongly dedicated to the protection and preservation of this rare grape and its delicious nectar. The “experiences” take shape in paths connected with wine, Planargia and the story that the generations of the vigneron can tell.
We combine the taste with the landscape beauty of Malvasia.

“My son (15) and I (15+) did an afternoon of paragliding with Fabrizio and his girlfriend yesterday. It was amazing. They were both so friendly and helpful. We felt very safe and looked after. Once in the air, the panoramic view with the surrounding mountains (where the rare griffon eagles reside), clear skies and acquamarine coastline made it a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we will not quickly forget. Fantastic, adrenaline-fuelled fun with great people. Do it today, you will not regret it”

“What an amazing week! very easy to book and quick to answered all my questions. We traveled to some of the most beautiful places i have been to. They were well prepared when the weather was not quite right for the activities. Great local food. Had a great time with great people. I would love to do it again.”

“To me, NuAdventure was as much a wonderful experience enjoying a new place with new (and like-minded) people, excellent food, and a real vacation (adventure!) from work, as much as it was a zen-like experience where I stepped outside of myself and my comfort zone…”

We are looking for vibrant, passionate and active people, who are not afraid of getting wet & salty, who are willing to say Yes to new challenges, and who are thirsty to learn, share and welcome new perspectives. Having a burning desire to be part of this is all you need; no prior experience in yoga, SUP, climbing, hiking is necessary.
If you are seeking a super relaxing retreat, filled with pedicures and manicures…sorry, but this is not the experience you are looking for.
