You can stay a minimum of 3 nights, but we strongly recommend one full week.

• Explore the nature around us
• Actually slow down and disconnect

Most guests tell us they wish they had stayed longer.

We offer one surf lesson per day (around 4 hours), including:

• All equipment

• Insurance
• Surf theory + practical coaching
• Small groups adapted to each level
  (complete beginners, progressing surfers, and intermediates)

If you prefer to surf on your own, we also provide on-site surf equipment rental, with boards and wetsuits for every level.

And no worries about conditions, our instructors are always happy to recommend the best spot, tide, and time of day based on the forecast.

In summer, it’s extremely rare not to have surfable conditions at our local beaches, especially at Cortegaça and Maceda, where there are plenty of different surf spots to choose from.

If conditions ever become too challenging, for example during a storm, we always have a plan B to make the most of the day. This can include exploring hidden lagoons and waterfalls or enjoying a relaxed day of activities at the camp.

Our goal is always to ensure you have a memorable experience, whatever the waves do!
