Unlike other accommodations in the area, Stoke Portugal Surf House will make sure you’re well-fed – healthy homemade breakfast daily.

Program
This itinerary is meant to be just a guide, not a set-in-stone, to-the-minute, school itinerary. This is what your day may look like at the Stoke Surf House – depending on the waves, weather, your wants and needs. There’s always something for you to do, but it’s your holiday, so feel free to lie on the beach, have a beer, or go on an adventure with your new surf mates instead.
Morning
Wake up to a homely, cooked breakfast down in the chill-out area and exchange stories from last night’s antics, read the surf report, and get excited to head out into the waves. You’ll warm up with a yoga and stretch session in the garden, before you head to the beach. Grab your board and either scout out the best banks on the beach or head into your lesson with one of the surf instructors. If you’re not doing a lesson, feel free to grab a bike and explore along the coast for some unreal swells!
Afternoon
When you’re all surfed out, dig into your packed lunch, or hunt out some Portuguese delicacies at some beachfront eateries. Or maybe it’s time to go for a dip in the pool and have a bevvie from the backyard bar. Maybe you want to head out hiking through the dunes, or grab a bike and a board and explore the other spots, or even head into Lisbon if ya like! In the afternoon, you will most likely find yourself hanging out at the house, watching the sun go down over a few drinks, sharing stories, or becoming lord of the ping pong table.
Evening
If you’re the sensible type, you can get in a good night’s sleep and be up bright and early for sunrise yoga and stretching. If some more drinks, music, and exploring sound more like you, you can kick on in the backyard with a BBQ and pool party, before exploring the happenings of Santa Cruz. If enough guests want to keep the energy going, there’s the option to explore the iconic nightlife of Lisbon or join any local festivities happening during the stay!
Location
The newly renovated Portuguese-style casa in Santa Cruz is the perfect crash pad for wave-chasers, salty vagabonds, and beach bums alike. Whether you're here to rip through the world-famous breaks along Lisboa’s coast or just looking for a spot to kick back and recover from last night’s antics, this place has you covered. Santa Cruz isn’t just an epic name—it’s also an underrated surf mecca, and this spot is here to give it the street cred it truly deserves.
