What kind of rooms do you offer?

You can choose from a variety of options: a private suite for yourself, a bed in the shared space, or sharing with your friend in our twin bed rooms or 3-bed rooms. There are plenty of options to suit your needs.

Is there a supermarket nearby?

Yes! About 1.5 km away, there's an organic supermarket and a bakery for essentials. Around 2.5 km is a larger regular supermarket. It's walkable, but not super close. Aljezur, which is about 9 km away, has many shops and a market. There's also a bus that runs from Arrifana to Aljezur with several stops in between, running a few times a day.

Do I need a car?

It depends on your plans. If you want to stay around the beach (trust us, there's so much to do, you might not want to leave!), you don't need a car. We have amazing restaurants and cafes within walking distance, and a bus for certain trips or hitchhiking options. But if you want to explore the amazing spots, villages, and beaches in the West Algarve and Algarve, then a car would be necessary.

How far is the nearest surf spot?

Arrifana Beach is within walking distance from our house, which will be the Mainspot. For other spots, we take you with our vans (with the Full Surfer Package). We've got you covered and always know where the best waves are running.

What is the average age in the camp?

The average age is probably between 20-30 years old.

Do you offer breakfast or dinner?

Not yet, but that will change very soon. If you're interested now, just send us an email and we'll find a solution for you.

How long is each surf session?

Each surf session lasts about 3 hours, giving you plenty of time to catch waves and improve your skills.

At what time are we going surfing?

We usually hit the waves in the morning, around 9 AM, but this can vary depending on the best conditions. We'll make sure to catch the optimal surf times.

How cold is the water?

The water temperature at Arrifana Beach varies throughout the year. In the summer months, it’s usually between 17-20°C (63-68°F), while in the winter it can drop to around 15-17°C (59-63°F). Don't worry, we've got the perfect wetsuit for you to stay warm and comfortable, no matter the season.
