Waves at Kuanza Fajã do Belo

Surfing in São Jorge, Azores, is a unique experience that combines the thrill of the sport with the breathtaking beauty of the island’s coastline. The rugged and unspoiled nature of São Jorge provides surfers with an ideal environment to ride its uncrowded Atlantic waves.

With consistent swells and a variety of surf spots, from powerful breaks to more mellow waves, São Jorge caters to different levels and tastes. The untouched and wild landscapes that frame the coastline add to the allure, creating a surfing haven that feels both remote and awe-inspiring.

Surfers can expect the Atlantic Ocean to deliver challenging big waves from October to March (advanced surfers only). From May to September the waves are usually more user-friendly and suitable for all levels. Kuanza Faja Do Belo doesn’t offer surf lessons but the expert team can guide intermediate and advanced surfers to the best surf spots.

All the stone houses overlook the Atlantic, creating what we might call a “private” beach. It’s a paradise for wildlife enthusiasts and a dream come true for every surfer.

Activities

There’s truly nothing like the proximity to nature. Whether it’s exploring trails, following tracks, hiking, swimming, engaging in canyoning, rock climbing, fishing, diving, or merely standing still and savouring the pure essence of existence. Select from a diverse range of trails and activities to craft your own adventure. For those seeking a more curated experience, a travel planner can assist in coordinating and customizing your trip.

Wellness

Kuanza Fajã do Belo extends an invitation to a soul-renewing experience in an untouched and distinctive natural setting. Disconnect from the stresses of daily life and immerse yourself in the essence of the Fajã. Unwind by the pool or in the sauna, embracing tranquility.

My wife and I booked an 8 day surf charter on the Gahaa with a dedicated surf guide Moussa who was worth his weight in gold knowing what breaks would be firing and his knowledge of marine life and Maldivian environment enlightening for my wife and I. From the initial booking and contact Guilia at AWAVE made the whole process seamless communication was excellent. I have traveled extensively and surfed many parts of the world this trip truly exceeded my expectations the crew were incredible taking us to excellent surf and snorkeling locations. The boat itself is a converted fishing Dohni that exudes old world charm is clean and meticulously cared for. The meals prepared for us were nothing short of exceptional excellent variety and plenty of it a mix of western and Maldivian fare. We are definitely coming back and certainly using AWAVE again! Thank you Giulia and Moussa our trusted surf guide who gave us incredible insights into Maldivian culture.

Absolutely Recommended. Giulia and James are top professionals: I will be using Awave for all my future surf trips. I have been surfing for 30 years and travelled the world so I have dealt with a lot of agents. Awave is in the top spot as far as I am concerned. I spent 10 days with them on a boat trip in Maldives’ central atolls: not only their recommendations were spot on but being a boutique agency they tailor the surf experience to the very specific needs. They are surfers (real chargers) and know personally each spot and surf operator they recommend (wtether it is a guest house or a resort or a boat).

Trip of a lifetime. First and foremost I'd like to thank James Colston from Awave Travel, for assisting me in every which way to help book one of the most memorable experiences I've had in my life. He was extremely responsive and answered every single question I had, even the dumb ones haha. As for AYADA, holy dooly, that place is paradise! Absolutely breathtaking, I couldn't believe I was actually walking around such a beautiful island! Big love to the staff at Magu Restaurant, seeing as how I ate there pretty much everyday, they were amazing! Very switched on and quick off the mark to help with anything that was needed. A special mention to Dhaboa and the captain who took me out surfing! I cannot speak highly enough about their friendly, helpful and straight up on point expertise. With Dhaboa picking the spots to surf and tips on where to sit to catch the best waves on the day, to the wonderful captain himself, filming and sending me videos of the waves I caught.
Absolute legends! Made my surf trip! Best holiday I've ever been on to this date.

Reliable travel agency to book a surf trip - Both Giulia and James were very reactive and adivsed on the best options. In our case we made a boat trip in Maldives. It is the second time we use Awave Travel to do a surftrip to Maldives and we have had a very good experience in both cases. They are a reliable and trustworthy travel agency, I highly recommend them.
