Ive stayed at the Jho'La Surf Camp for a few weeks and absolutely loved the place, especially its close location to the beach, the ocean you can see from the terrace, many hammocks that allow you to deeply relax. also the aura of its committed landlord Francisco contributes to this nice and chilled experience. I was also very happy with the surfing school that collaborates with the Jho'La Surf Camp. Looking forward to my next stay there, obrigada.

In my opinion, Jho'La Surf Camp is a place made with heart! Well organised with the perfect amount of flexibility and calmness making a chilling soul happy. Even if you are not into surf it is worth to stay here for the awesome meals - prepared by the chef the cuisine personally or cooking them together, which makes it a wonderful evening and even more delicious 🙂 With the great yoga lessons at the terrace it makes it a perfect day. Thank you!

I was for 1 week at Jho'la for a surfing camp and I simply loved it! This place is rather a guesthouse then a typical hostel and makes you feel like at home with friends. Francisco (the owner) is a wonderful host and makes the best sandwiches and dinners! I highly recommend if you want to chill out, take surfing lessons, relax on the hammock, hike along the beautiful cliffs, go to the beach or meet great people - you have so many options! 🙂

We found this jewel of a Surfcamp almost by chance and ended up staying for 8 days. Francisco is a fantastic host, with awesome cooking (and sandwich making) skills. We really enjoyed the cooking nights, an occasion to learn more about Portuguese cuisine and culture. The place is clean and comfy, and it does not take long to feel at home. We enjoyed the surf lessons and the beach nearby during our rest days. Long story short: we loved it and really hope to be back soon!
