Accomodations

As mentioned before it’s not included on the race ticket but here’s a few options close to the event

AP Victoria Sports & Beach Hotel

Aerial view of an apartment complex with a pool, surrounded by greenery and trees, near a sports field and soccer field, with the ocean in the background.

A great hotel and the perfect option for those who want to come a few days before or stay a few days after the event.

The closest place to the race track. You see those trees at the bottom left of the photo, yeah that’s part of the event location.

Aldeia da Falésia

A quiet neighborhood street with white buildings on the right, a palm tree and other greenery on the left, and a clear blue sky overhead.

An area with a lot of small houses, this is perfect for groups and for those who don’t want to spend that much on accommodation

It’s just 300m from the event location and definitely the cheapest option around!

Epic Sana Algarve Hotel

Aerial view of a resort with a large swimming pool, hot tub, lounging chairs, a grassy area with trees, multi-story hotel buildings, and the ocean in the background.

The most luxurious place around, perfect for someone who’s coming with the family to enjoy much more than just the Onewheel event.

And also just 300mt away from the event it’s a great option to stay and relax a few days after OWA.

    With teams from 10 countries working together to bring this to reality, this season will be incredible for sure. Check out the events page on our website to learn more about the other events on the EOL.

    At the end of the season, the best riders both in the male and the female categories will compete for the title of EOL Champion!

    Learn more about the EOL right here!

  • We encourage you to. The event will be free to the public so bring your whole cheer squad!

  • This year the big race is the EOL Finals so it won’t be possible for other riders to do a time tracked race there, but the race track itself will be open for everyone to ride when no races are happening and you can participate in all other public races. You can always do friendly races with your friends there when no competition is happening.

    There will also be a lot of other fun things to do like the ∞ Race, the Surf&Dirt Race, the Apocalypse Race, the Best European Trail Rider competition and much more!
    We’re planning other different small competitions and games as well.

    You’ll be able to explore the trails next to the track and even learn to complete technical downhills on our trail clinics. And you can’t miss out on our group rides!

    There will be stands at the location with other activities as well.

  • This year we’re giving you the option to get diferent types of tickets.

    The Full ticket will give you access to everything we have to offer, all the races, activities, games, rides and much more!

    The EOL Finals Only ticket will grant you participation on the EOL Race, the group rides and BETR only. If you want to participate in all other competitions you should get the full event ticket.

    With the Chill ticket you’ll get the chance to participate in one of the races, with the exception of the EOL Finals. Then, when you realize they are so incredible you can’t miss the rest you can always buy the entrance for another race or upgrade for the full ticket at any point!

    And finaly the Groms ticket is only available for riders 14 years old and younger, and will have the same perks as the full event ticket, with the exeption of the Legends race since that’s a race for riders 45 years old and older.
