I surf Portugal's glamping surf camp, based in a camping park, is nestled among lush tall trees, offering a tranquil haven of shade for relaxation. In the community area, you’ll find a fully equipped kitchen with shared fridges and several cooking hobs.

Swing by the surf camp bar for a refreshing drink after a good surf session and a sunny day at the beach. As the evening sets in, and after the included dinner, join the festivities around the crackling campfire with fellow guests for a night of shared stories and laughter during the engaging evening activities.

You can choose between two different accommodation options: the shared tipi tents have four single beds while in the private tipi tents, you’ll find a double bed or two single beds. Both tent options come with electricity, lights, and a set of dishes for every person.

Bedding, linen, and duvets are also provided. As this will be a glamping experience, the mattresses are of premium quality and are comfortable, ensuring a great night of sleep.

Within the camping park, guests can enjoy a refreshing swim in the inviting pool or engage in various sports on the campsite courts, including volleyball, football, basketball, padel, and tennis.

Conveniently situated in a fishing village near Porto and its airport, the surf camp boasts easy accessibility and is a mere seven-minute stroll from the sandy beach and local restaurants showcasing the freshest seafood and fish dishes that you won't want to miss!

Health accreditation

I surf Portugal has an accreditation from the Tourism of Portugal as a 'clean and safe establishment according to health measures.' For any questions about this, please feel free to send an inquiry.

Program

This is the perfect surfing and yoga holiday for people who want to disconnect from day-to-day life and enjoy the outdoors and the ocean. Discover the ultimate surf adventure at I surf Portugal's glamping surf camp in Porto!

Spend your days catching waves, your evenings unwinding around the campfire with fellow surf enthusiasts, and your nights resting in cozy and stylish tipi tents. This is more than just a surf camp. It’s an immersive experience where outdoors adventure meets comfort.

Located in a charming fisherman's village just north of Porto, the camp is set within a serene camping park only a 10-minute walk to the local beach and a 15-minute drive to the best surf spots.

There will be five days of surf lessons with the surf gear included (wetsuit and surfboards), and four days with yoga. The camp also offers different activities, from beach games to yoga and of course, surfing.

Join I surf Portugal for an unforgettable surf and glamping experience in Porto, where adventure, relaxation, and good vibes come together!

Surfing

The team will drive you to the best surfing spot for the surf lessons. You will surf in a great surf spot perfect for learning or improving your surfing. It’s an open beach break north of Porto ideal for all levels.

Beginners will stay in the white water at the front and experienced surfers will be able to catch green waves at the back. I surf Portugal has a large selection of surfboards, including hardtop longboards and shortboards.

First waves

Whether it is your first time or you have already surfed a few times before but can't catch a green wave yet, this is for you! You will learn or have a refresh of the basics of surfing. I surf Portugal will teach and guide you towards riding your first waves by yourself in a safe environment and aim to ride your first green waves by the end of the week.

This is the basic package included when you book a shared or private tipi.

Progression

If you can already ride a green wave by yourself, then this is the package for you. You will perfect your surfing skills with lessons in smaller groups for intermediate and advanced surfers. You will focus on the areas that you want to improve: perfecting the take-off, turning, doing the bottom turn, and riding the green wave.

On the first day, I surf Portugal will assess your surf level to place you in the right group. Plus, they offer surf skate lessons to help you improve even further!

Surf and yoga

Surf and yoga go hand in hand. Yoga helps to increase core strength and flexibility, which gives you more balance, power, and ultimately improves your surfing. It's also a nice relaxing time where you are in touch with the elements as you will either have the yoga classes on the beach or in a quiet area in the camp.

This package includes four yoga classes and can be added to the basic package as well as the progression package.

Beach lifestyle

You'll get plenty of time to enjoy the beach during your holidays with I surf Portugal. Once back from the surf lessons, you can spend the afternoon at the local beach, which is about seven minutes' walk from the camp. They have beach volleyball nets and balls that you can use freely, as well as beach tennis sets. You'll never get tired of the beautiful sunset over the ocean!

Facilities and activities

If you are tired of the beach, you can always jump into the campsite swimming pool and relax while soaking up some sun. The campsite has different sports courts, such as a football court, tennis and padel courts, and a basketball and a volleyball court. They also have balls and tennis rackets that you can use freely at the camp.

They also have a few skates, surf skates, and a limited amount of bikes that you can use for free.

Nightlife

When the sun goes down, join others around the crackling campfire for a few drinks and some good vibes. You´ll get to know the crew and the other international guests. Throughout the week, the camp will also have a few activities, including a pub quiz, movie night, cocktail night, and a guitar jam session.

If you feel like partying a little longer, nothing beats a bonfire on the beach with some music and a few drinks! For those wanting more action, you can easily hit the dance floors of Porto's vibrant bars and clubs.

Free photos

The team will take pictures throughout the week and capture different moments of your surfing progress. They will then show the pictures at the end of the week and let you have them...for free! So, when you catch a wave, remember to look at the camera and smile.

Sustainability

I surf Portugal loves the ocean and the planet. This is the reason why they went through a process of certification by Biosphere to be recognized as a sustainable surf camp and company. This means that they are environmentally conscious, support their local community, and align with the 17 sustainable development goals of the UN.
