Location

The Surf Lodge is located in Figueira da Foz (Maiorca) at Europe's best surf coast. The closest surf spots still hold their natural beauty, offering different wave options, point break, after point break, fast and hollow waves, both lefts and rights. Being a less crowded area makes it a surf destination with a more relaxed environment.

It is very convenient if you are traveling along with Portugal since it is between Lisbon and Porto and around one hour distance from other great surf breaks like Peniche or Espinho. The most famous spot is Praia do Cabedelo, remarkable for its dunes and wild vegetation. It is a quiet and friendly beach with good facilities and an amazing view of the city.

During your stay in Portugal On Water Surf Lodge, you can count on a delicious holiday. Portugal is well known for the gastronomy and you will keep that on the mind. You will have waiting for you:
to "Nalu QdA Beach House": placed at the beach, offering light and snack dishes (such as poke salads, toasts, burgers, pancakes, brunch options), bar services and daily menus;
to “Eira d’Anta”: the hotel restaurant (on site, seasonally may have closing periods), gastronomy more traditional approach.

Jump to the city... If you miss people, want a night out or just want to know better Portuguese city culture beside Figueira da Foz (15 min away), we have 2 other amazing cities around where you can easily travel: Coimbra (35 min away) and Aveiro (45 min away).

How did you like the accommodation?

     

Lovely staff, rooms very comfortable. The nearby city of Figueira de Foz was very lively and active at night due to a festival whilst we were there. The options for vegetarians and vegans are limited outside the accommodation however.


How were the surf lessons?

     

The instructors were very helpful and gave good advice on how to improve, unfortunately the surf conditions weren't great whilst I was there so I was limited to what I could do

Beautiful place, excellent food & wine and super friendly hosts. Everyone went out of their way to make me feel welcome & comfortable. I loved my stay here and will come back (and with a car this time).

Great instructor, patient & friendly. I only had a few lessons, but loved it and made some progress due to the excellent guidance of Marcos. And got some fun photos as well thanks to a very talented photographer!

Hotel is fabulous. Great staff, great pool and brilliant Padel court. Rooms are nice with air con, great showers and nice beds.
Good is good. Lunch is not that well used so takes a little longer but dinners are good and it’s a nice atmosphere. Look out for solo travellers and invite them on your table, it’s worth it.
The beach is about 15 mins away. If you can, get a hire car, it adds a little bit of freedom which is good. Nazare is an hour away and worth a visit. I would say this is like a boutique hotel. Pedro the owner takes real pride in the place and actively ensures everyone is enjoying themselves without ever being over the top. All the staff are excellent.


How were the surf lessons?

     

Lessons are good. Obviously depends on the conditions a lot. Sometimes the group can be a little large to cater for the differing skill levels. That said they do their best to keep an eye on everyone and seek out those who are trying hard. Very good!

This was my best experience so far with surf camps. This is a perfect place to learn how to surf and to develop your skills. The instructor is very attentive and always provides you with a feedback. You have one instructor per 4 people. Every evening you have a possibility to see you surfing on a screen (photos) that is very useful for the analysis of mistakes. The personnel is very attentive and nice. Food and wine is just amazing. I really recommend this place.

TOP!! L'endroit est superbe, le personnel est extrêmement chaleureux, on est accueillis comme de la famille ou des amis. Les cours de surf et yoga sont extras, les professeurs attentifs et qui nous portent, le tout avec humour! Le point majeur de ce séjour est vraiment l'accueil humain et le bien être ressenti. Bref, une expérience inoubliable ! Je ne serai pas sans y retourner !

The hotel itself is a little paradise on hearth: green open spaces, amazing swimming pool, great facilities (both bed & shower were so difficult to leave because too good!). I was waking up every morning, having my coffee while sitting outside in the porch surrended just by the sounds of birds..isn't just the perfect way to start your day? I can't thank everyone enough to have made my holiday so special, Samuel, Nuno & Nuno, Rui, Juan, Patricia, Sara, Ana, Lisa (she can cook the most amazing homemade Portugues food you'll ever have!), everybody made me feel like home since day one!
Both my yoga & surf experience were just amazing! Being a total beginner on both activities my primary concern was not to have enough time to get the hang of it at least a little. But both Leonor (yoga) and Marcos (surf) were just incredibly patience and supporting, and never gave up on me. Leonor taught me how to listen to my body more, take more care of it on differrent levels, and how through practice and perseverance I can reach result that I never taught possible in such a small time! And surfing with Marcos was just as rewarding!

Praia do cabedelo

Praia do cabedelo

Level: All Levels

Just to the south of Figueira town and an ex to WCT contest site. This excellent right wedges off the side of a long jetty and results in fast and hollow waves. NW winds are funneled offshore and it works best on a NW swell and incoming tide.

Buarcos

Buarcos

Level: Advanced

Quality right to hand pointbreak that holds a decent swell. It produces really long workable walls, with several surf spots along the coast.
There is also a surfable beach break here.
