Customer Reviews
Best surf hostel everrrrr! Spent two months here and the place feels much more like a family home than a typical hostel. The vibes …
… here are always so great, mainly due to the 2 fab managers, great surf instructors and awesome volunteers. The breakfasts are delicious with lots to choose from including lovingly baked goods. There’s always something going on in the evening.. infamous Friday BBQs with bottomless beer & sangria and family dinner nights where the food is damn good. Holds a special place in my heart 🙂
Can’t recommend Algarve Surf School highly enough. We have had two lessons now, one last year and one this year. Their service has …
… been amazing and they have looked after us so well. Their instructors, especially Alex and Miguel are so enthusiastic and encouraging. You get to the end of your lesson and really feel you’ve achieved something.

… welcome. The surf instructors were very competent and helpful. They took time for everyone and really helped you learn as much as possible.
When I first booked I thought I was going to a boring isolated small town, it would have been quiet but I really wanted to try out …
… surf for the first time and I found the price quite low. In the end it was a blast! It was a few years I didn’t have such a good, quality time in holiday. To enjoy it properly you should start from Monday/Sunday, these are the days when the surf camp kinda “reset” and people come and go. Amado Beach is where the surf lessons take place, the place is massive and sandy, very safe for beginners. I wanted to do 5 lessons and I ended up doin 7, after that I felt safe enough to go by myself another 2 times in another place in Portugal. Surf instructors are a bunch of very young and friendly people, their lessons were fun and well structured and beside the moves they will give you a great understanding about the sea and its dangers. The hostel is clean and cozy, nothing fancy but it has a really welcoming vibe, like time is passing slower than normally does. If you are a solo traveller this place is just perfect, just go surfing and you’ll make a lot of new friends!
Great place to learn to surf! The surf lessons were very fun! My friend and I were complete beginners but had a great time, the …
… instructor gave a lot of individualized attention as needed. The morning breakfast was good and the other hostel guests were friendly
Sagres, Portugal
Our home base is Sagres – the laid-back surf town at the edge of Europe, where two coastlines meet and the waves keep rolling all year.
We teach mainly at Praia da Mareta in Sagres and Praia do Amado in Carrapateira – two of the Algarve’s most consistent and beginner-friendly surf spots, each offering ideal conditions depending on the wind and swell.
Thanks to the unique geography of the Sagres area, we can adapt to wind and swell, choosing the best beach each day to give you the safest and most rewarding surf session.
Waves all year long?
Yes. You're in the right place.
Need to bring surf gear?
Nope. we’ve got you covered
Selling beach wear too?
Yes. we got the good stuff.
Mild winters, sunny skies, and consistent Atlantic swells make the Algarve a true year-round surf destination. Whether you're coming for summer sun or winter waves, we’ve got the gear and the local knowledge to make it work.
