The Resort

Situated in the heart of the Central Group of the Azores archipelago, the island of São Jorge boasts a UNESCO World Heritage designation for its entire biosphere.

Surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, Kuanza Faja do Belo is a haven for nature enthusiasts and serves as an idyllic playground for surfers hailing from across the globe, offering direct access to some of the Atlantic’s most remote hidden gems for surfing.

Fajã means a beautiful flat surface near the sea, created from collapsing cliffs or lava flows. Kuanza Fajã do Belo offers a soul-renewing escape, inviting guests to immerse themselves in an unspoiled and unique environment

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.

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.

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!
