Nick Tiscoe and Surf My World are based in the serene and inspiring coastal village of Burgau, nestled within Budens in the Vila do Bispo municipality, in the heart of Portugal’s Western Algarve. This unique location sits on the edge of the Parque Natural do Sudoeste Alentejano e Costa Vicentina – a protected natural park known for its breathtaking cliffs, pristine beaches, and tranquil pace of life.
Burgau Algarve Portugal. A former fishing village, Burgau is now a peaceful haven with whitewashed houses, ocean views, and a small sheltered beach, Praia de Burgau, perfect for moments of reflection or post-training relaxation. The surrounding area is rich in natural beauty and local culture, making it the ideal backdrop for performance coaching, wellbeing retreats, and transformational training experiences.
The Algarve is renowned for its exceptional climate, with over 300 days of sunshine per year, fresh Atlantic air, and clean ocean waters. The western coast offers quiet beaches, dramatic cliffs, and unspoiled nature – a powerful setting for building resilience, clarity, and confidence.
Nick Tiscoe has chosen this location not just for its beauty, but for the opportunity it provides to train, recharge, and evolve – physically, mentally, and emotionally. Whether you’re stepping into a private coaching session or immersing yourself in a retreat, the Algarve becomes part of the transformation.
As a certified Deepend Fitness Instructor, Nick offers underwater breathwork and stress regulation sessions in local pools. These sessions replicate the training environments used by elite performers like big-wave surfers and Navy SEALs – all within reach of the tranquil Algarve coast.
Nick provides 1:1 performance coaching in and around Burgau. Drawing on his expertise in surf fitness, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, mobility, and mindset coaching, sessions are tailored to your personal goals – whether you’re an athlete, executive, or someone seeking greater clarity and strength in life.
Under the brand Onda Luxe, Nick curates luxury fitness and wellness retreats in the Algarve and across Portugal.
