Where you sleep at the surf camp
The Kitehouse compound — pool, garden, bar and five room types. Plus The Hill, our new separate house nearby. All-inclusive, every room type. More than half our guests arrive alone.
The Kitehouse — your base for the week
The Kitehouse in the Algarve is your ideal base for an unforgettable watersports holiday. Our expert instructors, quality equipment and relaxed camp rhythm make sure you spend maximum time on the water — and genuinely enjoy the time off it. The name comes from the early years, when kitesurfers outnumbered surfers. The sports multiplied, the camp grew, the name stayed.
A vibrant community in a tranquil setting
Beyond the water, you come back to a place worth coming back to. The pool is open all day, the garden hosts morning and afternoon yoga, and the Baraka Bar brings everyone together in the evenings. The communal dining area is where strangers become friends — 20+ nationalities every week, most arriving solo. Located just outside Lagos, you have easy access to Meia Praia beach, the town centre, and the marina. Our camp bus covers 20 diverse surf and kite spots within a 30-minute drive.
- Outdoor pool and sun loungers
- Yoga garden — daily sessions included
- Baraka Bar — evening drinks
- Camp bus to 20+ beaches and kite spots
- Easy access to Lagos town centre and marina
- Surf equipment storage and rinse station
- Wi-Fi throughout the compound
The food — consistently the thing people rave about
Our camp is known for its delicious breakfasts and ever more impressive dinners. Guests arrive expecting camp food — they get freshly cooked buffet meals, a passionate chef team, and a dining table where half the week’s friendships start.
Breakfast
Served daily in buffet style — a wide, varied spread to fuel a full day on the water. Fresh fruit, yoghurt, hot options, and more. We always make sure there’s something for everyone.
Dinner
Our passionate chefs draw inspiration from their travels — international menus with a Portuguese touch, changing every night. There are always meat and vegetarian options, plus vegan and dietary-specific adaptations. We run bi-weekly menus, so even guests staying two weeks will have a different dinner every single night.
Choose your room in the Kitehouse
All packages start from shared dorm. Upgrade if you want more privacy — the upcharge is per person, per week, on top of the base price.
Shared Dorm
Mixed dorms with 4 or 5 beds — across Palmito 1 and Zavial bungalow. Comfortable bunk beds with curtains for privacy, individual reading lights, personal lockers and safes. The bathrooms have been renovated and are kept clean throughout the day. Bed linen is included — bring your own towel. The social option, and the one most solo travellers choose.
- Curtained bunks with individual reading lights
- Personal locker and in-room safe
- Renovated shared bathrooms
- Bed linen included (bring your own towel)
- Wi-Fi throughout
Twin Room
Two single beds in a private room inside the compound. Simple, clean and comfortable. A good step up from dorm for solo travellers who want more space and quiet — you can book 1 bed in a shared twin, or take the full room with a friend. Some rooms have private en-suite bathrooms; others share a bathroom between two rooms. Arrivals to twin rooms are possible on Saturdays and Sundays.
- Two single beds
- En-suite private bathroom
- In-room safe and Wi-Fi
Bungalow
Your own private entrance, outdoor terrace, air conditioning, and the whole compound on your doorstep. The bungalows are decorated with a surfy Portuguese touch — plenty of privacy, but all camp amenities are steps away. We have two types: with kitchen (for self-catering) and without. Upcharge reduces as your group grows — at 4 people it’s barely more than a twin room.
Barranco, Furnas — sleeps up to 4
- Private entrance and terrace
- Air conditioning
- Kitchen for self-catering
- In-room safe and Wi-Fi
Ingrina — sleeps up to 5
- Private entrance and terrace

Apartment
Fully equipped private apartment with kitchen, living area and private bathroom. Complete independence — cook your own food, put the kids to bed, have your own front door — while the whole camp is right outside. Ideal for families or groups who want the comforts of home without losing the camp experience. We have several apartments at different price points; reach out if you’d like photos and a full description of each.
Palmito 2, Palmito 3, Audrey’s — sleeps 2–6
- Full kitchen and living area
- Private bathroom
- In-room safe and Wi-Fi
More than half our guests arrive alone. Dorm is the most social choice — twin shared room if you want more quiet. If you have any request send us a message so we can find you a spot 😉 Either way, you won’t be short of company.
The Hill — a house of your own
Four minutes from the compound. High-spec interiors, sunrise terraces and the quiet of the Algarve countryside — with every camp benefit still fully included.
Quiet. Four minutes from everything.
The Hill is a three-floor villa in Telheiro, near Meia Praia. Serene countryside, east-facing sunrise terrace, A/C and underfloor heating throughout. For guests who want a calmer, more peaceful base — while still joining every surf session, yoga class and dinner at camp.
Rooms are named after Portugal’s best surf spots. Twin-bed configuration — you share only with people you bring. Including a 4-bed dorm room (Monchique) for groups wanting the house feel at lower cost.
