Surfing & Instruction:
The camp is managed by a local surfer with in-depth knowledge of the coast, supported by a team of experienced local surfers who provide surf coaching for all levels. Each course includes two daily lessons, each lasting about one and a half hours, to ensure you’re riding the waves in no time.
Evenings & Social Life:
Evenings offer a chance to socialize at the camp or experience the vibrant nightlife in Sagres. The camp hosts a renowned weekly BBQ, often leading to lively gatherings. Alternatively, guests can enjoy a quiet evening under the stars.
Climate & Off-Season:
With over 300 days of sunshine per year, the Algarve is an ideal destination to escape colder climates. The off-season, from November to May, is equally appealing with advantages like empty beaches and surf spots. During the cooler months, the surf house provides cozy underfloor heating for comfort throughout the year.
Main Villa:
The main villa is fully equipped with satellite TV, numerous surf films, and Wi-Fi. It is situated atop a hill, offering stunning views of the surrounding nature reserve, making it an ideal spot to unwind after an exciting day of surfing.
Accomodation
The double rooms have their own modern bathrooms with newly fitted rain showers. Both options also offer a relaxing view over the neighboring natural reserve making them the perfect place to retreat and recuperate after a long day’s surf.
The dorms have also been freshly renovated and each have their own bathroom with a 4 or 6 bed room option.
Our new 4 spacious wooden bungalows with privat bathroom and terrace with beautiful view in the natural park for two people.
Surf Camp Algarve also now has the option of choosing a Sheddy, which is a comfortable wooden hut with a 1.5m double bed that sleeps two. The height is 2m, so there is enough space to comfortably stand up, as well as space underneath the bed to store gear and surf equipment. You can also upgrade to our Sheddy Deluxe version (more info below)
The Sheddies are the perfect choice for those of you looking for comfortable accommodation at an unbeatable price. You can also book a Sheddie by yourself for a small extra fee. If you decide to come in the cooler months, it is advised to bring a sleeping bag. For the Sheddies you have two shared bathrooms, one for men, and one for women with 2 showers and 2 toilets in each. If you want to book a surf course and you decided to sleep in a Sheddie you get a 25€ rebate off of your surf course.
We also have a new addition to the Surf Camp – The Deluxe Sheddie. This new addition to the camp is a larger version of the original Sheddie and comes with plenty of storage space as well as two single beds. These Deluxe Sheddies are perfect for friends & couples who are looking for a budget friendly surf trip where you still get your own private space to retreat to.
At Surf Camp Algarve, not only are there double rooms and dorm rooms located in the house but also stand-alone bungalows that border the horse paddock. Additionally, we have the newly built Sheddies for an unbeatable price.
A part of any travel experience are the friends you make along the way and we have perfect communal areas to meet your next travel buddy.
