North Coast Guest House was created by the same young couple who founded the Madeira Surf Center project, Andreia and Ruben, who decided to adopt a more balanced lifestyle by doing what they love the most and being more in touch with nature. This house was love at first sight and one of the main reasons why they settled on the marvelous North Coast of Madeira Island. North Coast Guest House is a simple house with an extremely familiar and relaxed atmosphere where they started by welcoming friends and family, but they eventually realized they could easily open its doors to the world and welcome more people. Being passionate about sharing and discovering other cultures and life experiences, they soon realized this was the environment where they felt happiest and most complete, and a way of traveling without leaving home too.
The concept evolved and they ended up realizing that most people came to Madeira North Coast Guest House looking for a space where they could have a wellness break and feel at one with nature. The guests seek, above all, to take a break from the city, to practice water sports (Surf/SUP) or mountain sports (‘Levada’ walks alongside the irrigation canals, Trails, etc.), and to enjoy a healthier diet. The result is usually some truly invigorating vacations, quite similar to a retreat.

Location
Madeira offers you a big selection of surf spots for all levels of expertise, ranging from a beginner level to the heaviest barrels that are perfect for the most experienced or pros. They have world-class spots, like the small village Jardim do Mar, with a unique long wave, and north and northwest swells – they guarantee you won’t want to miss this one.
Waves reach more than 10 meters high in surfable wave-breaking conditions and may reach about 300 meters long in their original state. Among the perfect spots for learning, we highlight the waves of Seixal beach – consisting of a safe, sheltered, black sandy beach, made from natural volcanic sand.
You’ll also find some hidden spots on the North Coast in São Vicente, such as Fajã da Areia in Juncos bay, one of the most consistently high-quality spots across the island, where the mid-length wave peak reaches about 100 meters long during the best days.
