Guest House with Skateboarding, Yoga & Sauna

The Location

Nestled just outside the beautiful Portuguese beach town of Santa Cruz, Heiwa House offers the perfect balance of peaceful sanctuary and world-class action.

We are a breezy 50-minute drive from Lisbon Airport. Want to explore? The legendary waves of Ericeira and Peniche are just 35 minutes away. Prefer to stay local? It's a short 15-minute walk to our stunning local beach and sunset cliffs, featuring a home break that fires in the right conditions.

The Skate Yard

Welcome to the lineup. Our custom-built wooden skatepark is the ultimate training ground. We have a smooth, hard surface surrounding the park that is perfect for taking your first steps on a board and building confidence.

Once you're ready, drop in! The park features a flowing bowl designed specifically with surf-skating lines in mind, plus a mini ramp for dialing in your regular skateboarding tricks. Everyone loves the bowl—it’s incredible for practicing your surfing mechanics or just having pure fun. Don't have a board? No worries, we have skateboards available to use for free in the park.

Find Your Flow

Find your center in our dedicated Yoga Dome. Tucked away quietly on the property, this immersive space is perfectly designed to help you disconnect.

Whether you want to meditate in peace, stretch out tired paddle shoulders, or flow through a morning yoga session, the dome is your sanctuary within a sanctuary.

The Recovery Zone

Push your limits, then bounce back faster. Our dedicated recovery zone features a traditional hot wooden sauna to relax your body and relieve muscle soreness after an active day.

Pair it with our freezing ice tub setup. This contrast therapy flushes out lactic acid, boosts your immunity, builds mental grit, and ensures your body is primed and ready to charge again tomorrow.
