8 Days Marvelous Surf Camp in Praia da Luz, Algarve, Portugal

Facilities

The villa has two floors and allows a maximum occupation of eight people. Downstairs, there are three bedrooms, two of them with a bunkbed and two bathrooms. There is also a toilet upstairs. There is free Wi-Fi in all 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.

During your stay in the holiday, you and your surf instructors generally will leave after breakfast and drive to the best beach for the prevailing conditions (waves, wind, and more). You will receive three to four hours of surf coaching plus extra time on the beach and will be brought back to the camp in the afternoon or in the evening.

All the equipment such as surfboard and wetsuit will be provided at no extra charge and you may use the equipment for as long as there is a surf instructor on the beach with you. However, you will not be allowed to use the equipment independently after the course.

The surf camp is located in Vila da Luz right next to the city of Lagos in the Algarve, Portugal. 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.
