Winter Adventure Surf Apartment

Introduction to Winter Adventure Surf Apartment

Our winter surf haven is a 2 bedroom house located in the Costa Vicentia National Park. This is truly a surfers dream house hidden in an oasis of nature and wildlife, minutes drive from hidden breaks that pump on large winter swells. Winter time is when the big swells hit Portugal, so picture yourself surfing uncrowded (secret) spots containing right hand reefs, bowling left hand barrels and beachy A-frames, all within 10 minutes drive through the nature reserve on dirt roads. This winter adventure is an ideal escape for advanced/ experienced surfers.

The surf haven can accommodate six people. One private apartment with a double bed, the second apartment sleeps four with bunk bed/dorm share. You will have all the comforts of home, tv, surf videos, magazines, books, games room including pool table, fire place and a fridge stocked with food and drinks. After a day in the big winter swell, the surfers haven is an epic place to chill at night around the fire, taking in a surf film while relaxing with a couple of drinks, maybe a game of pool, or arguing over who got the biggest wave of the day. Rene will be your local surf guide, and with 10 years knowledge of living and surfing in the Algarve, you are sure to find some truly amazing breaks that don't have the summer time crowds.

Surfing at Winter Adventure Surf Apartment

The surf that arrives along this coastline is generated out of the North Atlantic Ocean. Arrifana and the local area 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 south 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.

THANK YOU so much for suggesting the La Hostaria.  The boys and staff had an absolute blast.  All the students loved every second of it.  There is a buzz around the school and I have been responding to emails all morning.   The staff you have down there (Spain) are fantastic.  Damien, Dave, Nigie, were great with the kids.  All three  taught them with patience and clarity.  Some seasoned teaches could not do better!   The food and facilities were great, so Veronica should be congratulated on this one. Dave and Holly were excellent hosts and made our stay a pleasure.     All in all it was AMAZING.  So thank you.
