The location

Algarve, Vilamoura and Quarteira

Mild temperatures in early spring, the sea, the mountains and the art of hospitality: the Algarve is one of Europe's most sought-after destinations for training.

Our headquarters is the Dom José Beach Hotel, a seaside hotel in Quarteira that has repeatedly been named one of the best hotels in the Algarve. It hosts high-performance teams every year and has been the official hotel of the Quarteira European Triathlon Cup for over 20 years.

Testimonials

Who has ever been in a camp

“Desde o meu primeiro training camp, já estive em todos os camps que organizaram, e há uma razão para isso! Vivendo no Reino Unido e fazendo a maior parte do meu treino sozinha, é ótimo ter a oportunidade de treinar num país mais quente, com instalações fantásticas, ótimos treinadores e um grupo de pessoas incrível. O acompanhamento é uma grande parte do que torna estes camps tão especiais: os treinadores estão sempre presentes, dedicam tempo a ajudar-te a melhorar e adaptam as sessões ao teu nível e aos teus objetivos. E depois há as pessoas! Todos partilham a mesma paixão, puxam uns pelos outros e tornam a experiência ainda melhor. Saio sempre a ter aprendido algo novo, motivada e já a pensar no próximo training camp. Obrigada, ONTRISPORTS, por criarem uma experiência tão boa todas as vezes. Não podia recomendar mais!”

“Triathlon is a sport in which we spend most of our time training alone. For me, the ONTRI training camps have always been an opportunity to come together as a group, push each other, and go further than we would alone. That is what makes them so special: improving together, inspiring others, and being inspired.”
Julien Samaha Julien Samaha

“ONTRISPORTS training camps stand out for the planning of the different workouts and the family atmosphere. They are also an opportunity to try new recovery strategies and understand the benefits of being close to the coaches, both in technical development, especially in swimming, and in the motivation to keep improving. They are days that reinforce that triathlon is not an individual sport.”
Maria Gorjão Maria Gorjão
Sports Physiologist · Portugal
“The ONTRISPORTS training camps have been a real goldmine of learning! Having access to the knowledge and experience of those who know so much is a privilege. For me, knowledge is confidence, and each camp helps me evolve as a triathlete. But there is also the human side: sharing challenges, achievements, and good times with people who have the same passion makes everything even more special.”
Reyes Zamanillo Reyes Zamanillo

“A aliança perfeita entre exigência técnica e um ambiente fantástico marcou o Training Camp da ONTRISPORTS. Entre uma organização irrepreensível em todas as vertentes e a atitude exemplar de cada participante, o resultado foi um evento francamente bem conseguido do início ao fim.”
Hugo Gomes Hugo Gomes

“Já participo nos estágios da ONTRI desde 2017. São dias que valem muito pelo treino, pela especificidade das intensidades, pela gestão da carga, pelo foco na alimentação e no descanso, e pela imersão no que significa ser um atleta de alta competição. O treino em grupo é outro aspeto único: promove a troca de experiências e cria um apoio constante entre os participantes.”
