A chalet at the water’s edge
Sidewake is a modern lakeside villa on Castelo de Bode, with the stone walls and wooden beams of a mountain chalet and sliding doors onto garden terraces that step down to your private dock.
- Big beds and fresh linen, with the lake just beyond the garden
- Big sofas and a long dining table
- Loungers in the sun and hammocks in the shade
- A professional trampoline with a view over the lake
When the sea isn’t perfect, Sidewake is.
Castelo de Bode winds for kilometres between steep, pine-covered hills, so when the wind picks up your tender simply moves into a sheltered arm. Five seasons of records, from March to November, show sheltered water in every daytime hour, never more than 460 metres from your dock.
The crew keeps every tender immaculate and sets the ballast, speed and rope length for each guest. You can surf at sunrise, go out again at midday and cruise at sunset, all from the house.
Everything is looked after
Your crew runs the tenders, the coaching and the house, so all you have to decide is when to surf and when to do nothing at all. World and European Champion Roberts Linavskis leads the coaching, with a team of riders we choose with care, and first-timers get the same attention as competing riders.
Sergio, your private chef, cooks breakfast, lunch and dinner around your day on the water, with snacks all day, soft drinks, beer and wine.
How a day might go
Morning
You start with a relaxed breakfast, then surf the best water of the day.
Midday
After lunch at the house you can take a paddleboard or the e-foil, try the trampoline or lie in a hammock.
Evening
You go out for one last surf or a sunset cruise, then sit down to dinner at the long table.
The whole of Sidewake, yours alone
The house, the tenders, the crew and your private chef are reserved for you and your guests, and every day runs to your schedule. Tell us your dates and who’s coming, and we’ll prepare a private proposal.
Sidewake is in central Portugal, so land in Lisbon or Porto and we’ll arrange a private transfer to the house. Price on request.
