What makes us different?

Delicious home-made Portuguese cuisine and family recipes

We like travelling and cooking and find tasting of new dishes a part of discovering new cultures. For these reasons, we decided to enrich your unforgettable experience of surf-yoga holidays in beautiful Algarve with authentic Portuguese cuisine, prepared by the local gourmand (your hosts) by traditional recipes.
Give your taste buds a well deserved treat and plunge into discovering Portugal with all your senses.
 
Local  natural ingredients
We are trying to minimize our ecological footprint, therefore, we support, as often as possible, local production and eco-friendly practices.
 One of the basic ingredients in the traditional Portuguese cuisine is the olive oil. In our cuisine we use the high quality olive oil which comes directly from its producer – the host itself! Give yourself a treat and let your taste buds enjoy the richness of flavour and aroma of this unique olive oil.
(If we got you interested, feel free to ask more about it or visit here).
All the meals we prepare for you are made from natural ingredients and love.

Eco-friendly:
Waste recycling
We have deep love, connection and respect to the Nature, therefore we are trying to minimize our negative impact on it. One of our common practices is recycling our waste as much as possible therefore in our camp you will find separate bins for different type of waste. Also, we do compost, so all the organic waste is also recycled.
 
Reusable water bottles
World’s oceans (as well as landfills and freshwaters) are highly polluted by plastic waste. Let’s minimize our own plastic waste: Choose your favourite from our selection of water bottles & use it during your whole stay! This way you contribute to keeping our environment clean as well as taking care of your health (it’s been proven that plastic material releases harmful particles when exposed to the heath over longer time, e.g. under sun, while at the beach).
 
Natural sun protective products
If you’re travelling light or you just forgot sun protection, no worries, you can choose from variety of our 100% natural eco-friendly sun protective products.
 
Main facilities available 24/7
There are cable-TV, free Wi-Fi, fridge, microwave, a coffee & tea collection, fresh fruits…All available for your use at any time.
 
Beautiful chill out area
After happy, but exhausting, surfing day, our hammocks are just inviting you to enjoy warm summer breeze under colourful flowers on our terrace.
 
Yoga mats
You wouldn’t like to miss your daily yoga practice during your surf holidays? No worries! Whether you prefer to join a group, lead by our amazing yoga teacher, or you prefer to maintain your yoga practice in your own pace, we have high quality yoga mats for you always available.

Surf movie nights
You’ve just tried surfing but you feel you’re already hooked up on it (we understand you completely!) and want to learn more?
Occasionally we organize surf movie nights which inspire us, help us to improve our techniques, give us insights in the world of professional surfing, keep us motivated and give us ideas for our next surfing destinations…

Library
In our camp, you’ll find a small library with diverse books (in English and Portuguese); from novels to “Learn How To Surf” manuals.

Surf survival kits
For a bit advanced surfers or those who got already totally hooked up on this sport, we invite you to have a look at our cool Jho’la surf survival kits (come in handy for maintaining your surf board).
 
Safe storage
We have a safe storage available for those coming with their own surf equipment (suit, board) as well as safe boxes in each room, for your personal belongings*
*no padlocks provided

The beach - only 2 min. walking distance
One of the highlights of our surf camp is its location – literally 2 minutes from Luz’s beautiful sandy beach, with plenty of cute restaurants, cafes and local shops. Everything you might need, from the pharmacy to the supermarket is within walking distance, so you can explore our little village just by walking around, while soaking up its Portuguese charm.

Cosy easy going atmosphere
One of the things which our happy, satisfied guests always highly point out is our cosy family atmosphere, on which we are very proud of. Our camp is limited to max. 8 guests – just enough for fun nights and not too crowded for peaceful relaxing afternoons.
