Introduction to Surf Camp - Arrifana

The Arrifana surf camp is perfectly located, a short walk from the long sandy bay of Arrifana. The surf camp consists of bunk style, twin or double rooms, perfect for a group and couples. If you are on your own, it is a great place to meet new friends. The surf camp also has two huge terraces with beautiful views of the Algarve coast where breakfast and dinner are served, every day. The house inside is well equipped with all the mod cons and has a spacious lounge area and kitchen.

South West Portugal is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. With miles upon miles of empty beaches, it is a great place for long walks, mountain biking, quad biking and paragliding. Relaxing activities like yoga and pilates sit well in this location, and can be arranged through us.

Food and Drink

Breakfast is provided for all our guests, and for those of you who will be taking the surf school package we include lunch in the price as well. There are a number of restaurants, bars and shops in Arrifana. We also love having the odd BBQ through the week.

Surfing at Surf Camp - Arrifana

The surf that arrives in the large bay of Arrifana is generated out of the North Atlantic Ocean. Arrifana is blessed by having such a big swell window, the bay picks up any swell in the Atlantic and this means that surfing everyday is a common occurrence.

There is surf to suit all standards of surfers along the west coast of Portugal, and those looking for the classic hollow waves will not be disappointed. Those looking for gentle waves will also find these in abundance.

In Arrifana, we offer two surfing options for those looking to hit the surf. The first is our surf school option. Well-structured lessons, designed to get people up and riding from day one. The lessons then become more dynamic and personal with in-water coaching and beach theory lessons. The second is our surf guide option. This is for surfers who have surfed a few times, have their own board and just want to find the best surf on any given day. With so many hidden bays and beaches, there is a lot to explore!
