Surf Camp
The Camps
For surfers and going-to-be surfers we have two options of camps:
The Camp House Lagos is the perfect place for people who like to go surfing during the day and party at night. If you like to try some other watersports like kiteboarding, wakeboarding or windsurfing this isalsothe right accommodation for you.
All spots for the nightly entertainment, the beach and the wakeboarding boat can be reached by a short walk and the transportation to the surf spots are included.
From the camp we reach about 20 different surf spots within 30 min. drive.
The camp is located in a quiet town area of beautiful Lagos. The house has five double or dorm-bedrooms and a cosy lounge with wifi-internet, cable TV and a multimedia computer system. You can fix your own meals in the well equipped kitchen, fire up the BBQ in the patio or hang out in the hammocks. If you rather eat out you will find a great variety of great restaurants and snackbars in the center of town only a three minute walk from the kitehouse. Lagos is party capital of the Algarve, the young and crazy scene comes from all over the world. Aussies, Kiwis, Canadians and Euros party until dawn.
The SURF LODGE is locaded in Vale da Telha, Aljezur. If you want to stay in a quiet place on the rual west coast close to the surf-spots Monte Clerigo (beginner) and Arrifana (advanced) with the legendary reefbreak kangaroos (pro).
Our surf-hostel has room for 12 person. You can choose if you want to stay in a double or dorm room. some doubles have their own bathroom. At the camp you are free to use our big, well equipped kitchen to fix your own meals.
