We have 5 guest rooms that sleep a maximum of 3 people to give you the comfort you need to enjoy your holiday and there´s plenty of space to socialise with a heap of outside lounging areas to take in some post surf sun. Inside there are 2 fully equipped kitchens, 3 shared bathrooms, 2 lounges, and a dedicated movie and video teaching room all for a maximum of 13 people - whether you want to chill with some Netflix, fire up the BBQ and catch the epic sunset views over the Cabo de Sao Vincente, or find a quiet spot to read a book, we´ve got you covered. We include a wholesome and healthy breakfast, whilst trying to remove plastic from the breakfast table and offer fresh and local produce wherever possible. We have surf courses running daily, and our surf instructors give personal feedback and tailor the lesson, demonstrations and exercises to help you step up to the next level - whether it´s the basics of the take-off or carving out the perfect cutback. If you would like to book group or private lessons or our surf course with video analysis, please contact us so we can give you the price :)

Neighbourhood information

Sagres is the main surf town in the South of Portugal, offering a wide and varied selection of waves all within a very small area. It is a place privileged by mother-nature, with coastlines facing both South and West. That is the reason why the area is known for having the highest swell consistency in all Continental Europe. The little town at the end of the world has plenty to offer besides access to huge number of beaches and surf spots. You´ll find a great selection of cafes, bars, and restaurants serving everything from traditional local dishes to modern international cuisine. Historic forts and buildings cover the coastline and surrounding villages of the Costa Vincentina - Portugal´s largest national park, right on your doorstep.
