Life at Jho’La

Surf days, community dinners, and slow Algarve mornings in Praia da Luz.

A week in photos

Jho’La is a small surf camp in Praia da Luz, Algarve—built around great waves, good food, and a relaxed community vibe. Here are a few highlights from surf lessons, the house, shared dinners, and the coastline around Lagos.

 

Surf days & lessons

Small groups, real coaching, and the best spot for the day.
From first pop-ups to confident green waves, it’s all about progress and fun.
Lessons are included in our week packages and planned around the conditions.

The house & pool

A calm base in Praia da Luz—simple, comfortable, and designed for easy surf living.
Relax by the saltwater pool, reset between sessions, and sleep well for the next day.
It’s a small place on purpose, so it feels more like home than a hotel.

Food, stories & community dinners

Shared meals are part of the Jho’La experience—good food, good people, no rush.
We cook authentic Portuguese dinners twice a week and keep the vibe family-style.
Expect laughs, stories, and that “surf family” feeling by the end of the week.

Praia da Luz & the Algarve coast

Praia da Luz is a relaxed beach town with great sunsets, coastal walks, and local restaurants.
Lagos and the west coast are close—perfect for exploring on rest time.
It’s the Algarve at its best: ocean, cliffs, and space to breathe.
