this is the best surf camp I've ever been to! I recommend it especially to beginners who want to progress quickly and get professional advice from instructors - each of them is really brilliant

"Sehr gut "
Ich kenne Surfcamp und die Surfschule bereits, beide sind sehr gut. Das Angebot an Speisen ist sehr gut, die Live Musik ein mal die Woche finde ich großartig, die Einkaufsmöglichkeit direkt im Camp finde ich ebenfalls ganz gut. Nicht weit gibt es ein Wochenmarkt, wo man frisches Gemüse und Fisch kaufen kann. Fussläufig erreicht man drei Strände. Busverbindung nach Sintra und Cascais ebenfalls sehr gut. Man hat ebenfalls die Möglichkeit den Yogakurs oder Fitnesskurs dazu zu buchen, es wird mehrmals am Tag angeboten. Surfschule und Lehrer sind ebenfalls sehr gut: aufmerksam, hilfsbereit, geben individuelle Tips. Ich war zum zweiten Mal hier, nun kann ich selbstständig Wellen reiten, Danke dafür!
Ich kann beides nur empfehlen, das wird ein tolles Erlebnis sein.

"Our expectations were exceeded:-)"
First of all; the people at the camp were super flexible about our arrival time, as we arrived at the camp at 02:00 am. There was obviously noone at the reception anymore but we managed to arrive and get inside our room easily. The location of the camp is great as it only takes you around 4 minutes to Praia Grande by car or around 15-20 minutes if you prefer to walk. There is a supermarket on the site where you can find almost everything you need and there are foodtrucks and restaurants inside the camp which offer a broad variety of really tasty food.
The surf-instructors were kind, helpful and easy-going which made the whole surfing-experience very enjoyable. There's a van that picked us up from the camp which was really nice and always on time.
For breakfast we enjoyed the small restaurant called Nomads inside the camp which offered a nice breakfast for a very fair price. They also very super kind and offered a variety of coffee, juices, bowls but also ice-cream and so on....
My partner and I enjoyed that the camp offers you the opportunity to meet people, as there are some solo travellers, groups, families but also people who live nearby and just enjoy the camp's site during their freetime. Also we thought that the location of the camp is perfect as you can reach beaches, a small city and Sintra + Lissabon within relatively short distance.

"Had an amazing time"
It was still a little early in the season so not a lot of backpackers but the camp is perfect with the restaurants and supermarket in the camp. The surf instructor was really nice and a good coach, definitely recommend I will be going back

"A stay in May"
I loved surfing every day. The people were super friendly, and nice. They always helped if we needed something. The food nearby was excellent (highly suggest Misssushi). The beaches are near (in 15 mins walk). Sintra worths a trip or two! The surfing coaches were fantastic!

"Surf instructors and lessons were brilliant!"
My boyfriend and I had an awesome time doing 5 surfing lessons with Surf At Prair da Macas. We had five lessons with 5 different instructions, at first we really struggled, if though we had surf alot before the current was very strong on the beach due to the storms recently. So for 3 of the lessons after this they drove us to a beach and the swell was perfect! We both had never got such good waves before and learnt how to drop in. They were brilliant lessons and we learnt so much about reading water etc.

"Awesome stay, great surfing"
Class experience from start to finish. Everybody involved with the surf school is really nice, helpful and nice to hang out with. Picked out the perfect spots everyday. My surfing definitely improved and my legs are still paying the price. Even when it was tough, it was still fun. Gave help when it was required, let me just chill when I needed a breather. Can’t recommend this place enough, and some of them are now part-time Middlesbrough fans so that’s a bonus.
Accommodation was great, I was in a solo room which was lovely. Shop, food and drink all right on your doorstep.

"Perfect trip to relax 'n surf"
The location is brilliant, for single people, couples or familys.
Two different beaches in walking distance in beautiful area.
Surf school was amazing and i always felt secure in waters with the teachers, can't wait to come back some day.
Breakfast and other goods to shop for cooking are a great deal.
Reception and communication was always on point.

"So much fun!"
The hostel is fun, we met a lot of nice people, it's cozy and mostly quiet but also with good access to restaurants and other facilities. The bakery attached to the supermarket is so nice!! Supermarket decently priced.
Surf lessons were AMAZING! We had so much fun and I learned a lot in a week. Felt very safe. Ended up booking an extra class!

"First experience going on a solo trip"
The place is also used by the locals and doesn't give the classical hostel vibe. It has a lot of open space and you feel more like your on a camp than a hostel. There will be kids and families using the facilities as well so if you have a hangover you might get mad, but this really isn't a drinking hostel. More a chill, do yoga and watch amazing sunsets, go on hikes and eat the amazing food they serve at the hostels restaurants.
The surf lessons really gets you in touch with the rest of the people staying at the hostel. There aren't too many things happening otherwise and it's kinda hard to get in touch with people if not for the surf lessons. But if your goal is to reconnect with yourself I cannot recommend this place enough.
I hadn't surfed before and was feeling really nervous about it, but the instructors were super nice and helpful and the feeling was quickly replaced by joy and mastery. In the beginning I was struggling just getting out to the waves, but on the road to the first white water wave there are so many small victories and the instructors really celebrated every step of it with me so it was super nice.
The yoga instructors were really good, even to a complete beginner like me I still feel I got something from just doing one hour and really wish I tried it before my last day - then I would do more sessions!

The classes were fun and very adoptable to one's need and previous experience. The instructors were very nice and supporting while also creating a fun and relaxed atmosphere. The hostel was cute and relaxed, all felt very safe. I had a great time there, surfing and and taking it easy in the beautiful surrounding during the rest of the time.

"Amazing place for doing a surf camp!"
I absolutly enjoyed surfing. The beach had perfect waves for beginners and was very stunning. With the help of Gabriel i was able to catch my surf waves and it sparked a ambition for surfing inside me! The Hostel was clean and had everything you need incl. a nice supermarket and a lot of restaurants inside of the camp but if needed you can also cook your own food in the hostel kitchen. I would definitly recommend it to anyone who wants to try surfing!
Cheers Felix

"review for 7 day surf stay at aldeia da praia and surf camp"
The town, the location (near the beach, near a town), the reception, the people that work in the Aldeia, the views, the rooms, the cleanliness; all were on point. The surf camp was organisationally very smooth. They picked me up from the camp, took me to awesome beaches. The instructors are super encouraging whilst giving key tips and corrections. The vibes were just awesome, the surf lessons make you want to surf every day.

"Good value for money"
It was a lovely week at the surf camp. The surfing trainers were really helpful and paid attention to all participants. I got free photos from one of my lessons. The location of the camp is about 1.5 km from the beach were we were surfing- praia Grande. I had only one lesson at a different location and the transport was provided.
Overall- good value for money. If you haven't tried surfing yet, it's a good place to start.

"Good experience at Praia Grande "
I very much enjoyed the surf lessons that were offered to us. The experience was personalized by getting good tips for each person. I appreciated the instructors trying to challenge each of us at our own level. I also enjoyed being able to go to a different beach to get better waves for our level. The accommodation was at a walkable distance to 2 beaches. It was also easy to access many other nice places by bus or Uber. There was a well equipped grocery store right beside our hostel which was useful if you like to cook. I enjoyed the back patio we had outside our room but would be nice with more patio chairs. Access to the variety of restaurants in the place was nice and we tried the pizza which was very good.

Surfschool was Incredible. All teachers were really thoughtfull and would help us all to catch waves. The also brought us to another Beach to surf 2 days, that was important cuz the waves there were easier than the waves at Praia Grande.
I’m looking forward to come back and surf with them again.

The whole experience was amazing in every aspect you want to look at. The surfing camp hs great facilities like supermarket, kitchen, restaurants and volley ball court. The hostel has friendly environment and most people are traveling alone so everyone wants to get to know each other. The hostel is 15mins away by feet from the beach. The surfing instructors are friendly and also good teachers. Overall it was such an amazing experience which i am willing to do again next year!

"Kan beter"
Hele fijne sfeer en het surfen was goed. Alleen de instructeur die wij hadden (staat hier niet tussen) kon amper Engels, waardoor de communicatie wat stroef verliep. Verder wel een hele aardige man.
