Check-out Time:
11:00

Facilities

  • Environmentally friendly
  • Free Wi-Fi

The villa has two floors and allows a maximum occupancy of eight people. In the downstairs, there are three bedrooms, two of them with a bunk bed, and two bathrooms. There is also a toilet upstairs, free Wi-Fi throughout the house, and cable TV in the spacious living room. Outside, there are several balconies with hammocks and puffs where you can relax after a surfing day or just chill out with a nice bottle of Portuguese wine.

Program

In general, the day starts with a healthy continental breakfast outside on the balcony with a nice view over the sea. After breakfast, you and your surf instructors will leave and drive to the best beach for the prevailing conditions (waves, the wind, and any other conditions) for three hours of surf coaching, and you will be brought back to the camp in the afternoon.

Surf classes

The courses are meant for two specific publics:

  • For people that never had a surfing lesson or just had a short experience in surfing so far—beginners level
  • For intermediate-level surfers that already have the basic knowledge of surfing and are looking forward to improving skills in paddling out, choosing, or catching waves by themselves.

Location

The surf camp is located in Vila da Luz, right next to the city of Lagos in the Algarve. Everything is within walking distance—two minutes to the beach, two minutes to the nearest bars and restaurants and five minutes to the supermarket and pharmacy.

Distances

  • Lagos or Alvor - 10 minutes
  • Faro Airport (FAO) - 50 minutes
