Jho'La Surf Camp

Had a great time at this place with my friends, just surfing and having some sun at the beach. Nice supermarket nearby and some good restaurants. Just relaxing! The location is good to have a car and it is a safe place.

It was my first hostel experience and it as gained a special place in my heart. The cozy and homely atmosphere, the great host that is Francisco, and an excellent cook , made me wanna come back a few more times, and hopefully will return again in the near future. The house is set in the middle of Praia da Luz, a wonderful and picturesque village located in the protected area of the Natural Park of the Costa Vicentina and one of the best things, it is a five minute walk to the beach. A great place to stay if you want to discover the unspoiled part of the Algarve. I really recommend it.

It was my first experience in a surf camp and i loved it! I was looking for a place with a nice surf camp spirit and that what i found in Jho'La! Francisco the owner of the place will make everything possible to guarantee that your stay is the best possible. Moreover he cooks very well which is a real plus in your stay. For the surf we went with José who was a really good teacher, always giving personal advice. You are in a group but feel like you have a personal lesson! We really had a blast. You meet new people in a very nice atmosphere. Just looking forward to come back to this little heaven!

If you're looking for the real surf camp experience, then don't hesitate go to Jho'La! This young surf camp has a great captain: Francisco. He renovated the all house in a nice surf camp spirit. The place is very cosy and we slept very well (and believe me you will need a good rest after surfing :-). About surfing, Francisco will film you once or twice during the week, and after dinner we all sit down in front of the TV to do video analysis about everyone’s mistakes, like the Pros! Then about the food, Francisco is a great cook. he makes excellent meals with local products. It was a very good surprise. (hope you will try his magic fish soup). We really had a blast. You meet new people in a very nice atmosphere. Go there and see by yourself.

I came for one week surf-vacation at the end of June. Staying at Jho'la was very lovely. It's a cozy family-style place that accommodates maximum 8 guests. Francisco is a very nice host and an amazing cook! Every dinner was different, but every time delicious. In the morning you are picked up by surf-van that brings you to the spot with the best conditions. The lessons are given by instructors of future-surfing school. It was my 4th time in Algarve and every time I was taking lessons with future-surf. Great place to stay with great surf experience! I will come back!
