Tiny Whale Surf Lodge
Surf, surf, surf in a comfortable and luxury environment
I love everything boutique and to get away from large crowds. This surf lodge offers just that. They're a small luxury surf camp, however not so much of a camp - there is one luxury Safari tent or you can stay in their beautiful comfortable villa.
What I also really like about this place is their offer in surf packages. They don't just offer a surfing holiday for all levels - you can actually choose a surf holiday that fits your level. It's so much more fun to try your first class with like minded other beginners. The same counts for when you're more experienced, and like to get more advanced guiding to enhance your performance, they cater for this in their advanced weeks.

Daily video coaching, surf and ocean theory

As soon as I found this place I fell in love with it. Quinta Alma is a magical place to retreat in the wild West coast nature of the Algarve. Quinta Alma is located close to the town of Aljezur and only 20 minutes from one of the Algarves most stunning surfing beaches, Praia do Arrifana. The perfect place to take your first lessons, hang out at the beach and retreat at your stunning bell tent at Quinta Alma.
A little different from my previous choices in this list because this place is not surf focussed but just a place I had to show you with a convenient location towards one of the best and most beautiful surfing beaches around.
Quinta Alma is an ecological farm and complete of grid! With even purely functioning mobile signal you'll make sure you'll have a break from home. Try surfing, explore the mountains of Monchique, practice yoga, go stargazing and hug donkeys!! Yes, donkeys!
