I BELIEVE I CAN SURF I had one of the best holidays in Jho'la surf camp. The place is very clean and furnished with a real taste. It offers a perfect combination of chill and fun holidays. Once you go there, you will feel like you have good local friends hosting you and trying their best to make you feel comfortable. It is a 5 mins walk to the beach and the food is amazing. I also have to point out how awesome the surfing instructors were. I didn't think I could stand up and slide in 5 days but they proved me wrong. I will come back when I feel a strong "saudade" 🙂 Obrigada !

Really excellent surf camp. The place is very clean and relaxing to live in, and the people are very fun. It's hard to find hostels that can combine both a great atmosphere as well as comfortable living quarters. The surfing is well-organised and there are always fun activities going on to spark activity between people, like yoga, group dinners, scuba diving, excursions, and so forth. Francisco is a really thoughtful and friendly host as well as an excellent cook. I can't find anything to critique and highly recommend it !

Amazing surfcamp! I spent a week here and it was great. Francisco is an amazing host and chef. He really went out of his way to make everyone feel comfortable and help us with everything. The camp itself is very relaxed, clean and the location is beautiful. The breakfast, lunch and diners were great. The surflessons were catered to everyone's needs and I learned a lot about all aspects of surfing in just a week time. I totally recommend everyone to go to Jho'la Surfcamp!

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! 🙂
