Traditional Portuguese Village close to the waves of the Vicentina Coast!

Located in the heart of the Natural Park of Southwest Algarve, Aldeia da Pedralva is a rural village, a great starting point to discover this wave-rich area. The village has been repurposed to provide really comfortable cottages and country houses for travelers wanting to explore this beautiful region.

On top of being surrounded by many quality waves for all levels and tastes, Pedralva offers an array of activities. Take one of the 32 bikes and explore more than 300km of trails of mountain biking, enjoy great hiking, and even take diving courses. Here you can feel the unique energy of a traditional Portuguese village, with countryside, sea, and nature in its purest state.

The Resort

Pedralva is a Portuguese village located between the countryside and the sea, surrounded by nature. Located in the municipality of Vila do Bispo, Algarve, one of the warmest areas of Europe.

In the village of Pedralva once lived 100 people, but in the past 25 years, this fell to only 9 inhabitants. In 2006, the village was repurposed to become an eco-focused village escape with all of the cottages and accommodations having been lovingly restored to provide quality holiday accommodation in one of Europe’s most beautiful regions!

Wifi is available in the Hotel and in the Villas.

Waves at Aldeia Da Pedralva

The southwestern corner of the Iberian Peninsula offers a great variety of surf breaks and the warmest climate in Europe. The small, lively town of Sagres is well located to take advantage of the wide swell window of Cape St-Vincent, where the west and south coasts meet, creating a perfect corner for both beginners and experts to revel in the fun waves.

Average wintertime swells on the west coast are around 8-10ft, with 12-15ft maximum, whilst summer rarely goes flat and can get up to double overhead. In larger swells, the south coast offers perfect shelter with offshore winds. The Southern Coast is usually flat in summer but delivers great conditions in winter and the shoulder months.

Aldeia da Pedralva partner surf school offers surf lessons and surf guiding for surfers of all levels!

Professional and Top Notch! From the moment we started planning our trip AWAVE was responsive and professional. We had a lot of back and forth picking the perfect location and resort and James and Giulia were patient and helpful. The resort we stayed at, AYADA in the Maldives, was beautiful and relaxing- great for families and couples! It was perfect for us- we have 1 surfer in the family, he was able to enjoy the waves and we also were able to enjoy the reef and snorkel as a family. Our kids loved the kids club and the private pool on the beach villas was amazing. The alcohol is expensive if you don’t do full board but that is to be expected. Wonderful vacation and amazing travel agency! Definitely recommend!!

I've used Awave twice ... so far. This is the second time I've used Awave for a trip to the maldives. Stayed in 2 different resorts this time. They've always been incredibly prompt at replying and handled everything for us, making sure the 2 Resorts were in touch to get us transfered half way through our trip. At one of the resorts I even bumped into Giulia and Delia who were out there surfing at the time. There's no doubt in my mind that I'll use awave again if I'm booking a surf trip

Indonesia Surf Trip/ Java/Bali/Sumba - James Colston was my representative from AWAVE - I’m an older solo surfer and James was attentive, respectful, extremely responsive from the initial planning stages all the way through the booking. And he was so patient with all my crazy questions along the way. I couldn’t have been more pleased with James’s level of service. Thank you James

Giulia was an amazing person to book with. I was overwhelmed with choices initially, but AWAVE knew their stuff and helped me with my options and even suggested delaying my trip so I could go to a certain hotel which ended up being the best decision I made all year.

Giulia and James were always on line to answer any question or to give an advice. The Ayada resort is perfect both for families or for couples. We did not have waves as the season goes from April to September, but there are plenty options to have fun and good times. Highly recommended both Awave and Ayada.

The AWAVE team are knowledgable and helpful. Giulia is a very helpful and patient person to deal with, and do not worry, you can trust her. I had to delay my trip to Morocco due to unforeseen circumstances and Giulia was very understanding. I have just returned from having a fantastic week at Amouage in Taghazout. Thanks AWAVE!
