Friendly Surf Camp on Madeira Island!

Founded by local surfers Andrรฉ Rodrigues and Hรฉlder Vieira, Madeira Surf Camp was established with the aim of providing fellow surfers access to the island’s quality waves, natural beauty, culinary delights, and cultural experiences.

Located in the village of Porto da Cruz, on the northern coast of Madeira Island, between the mountains and the Atlantic Ocean, Madeira Surf Camp is the perfect place for the ones looking for closer contact with nature and a relaxed lifestyle.

The Surf Camp

Nestled in the heart of Porto da Cruz village in Madeira, you’ll find Madeira Surf Camp. The guesthouse is a century-old building, that underwent a full renovation in 2020. This transformation ensures that our visitors enjoy both comfort and safety during their stay.

The terrace’s revitalization has turned it into the standout feature of the property. Offering a sun-soaked solarium, a revitalizing shower, and an outdoor barbecue area, this space serves as an exotic oasis in the northeast of Madeira Island. With panoramic 360ยบ vistas of the surrounding sea and mountains, it’s truly a unique setting.

The lower floor encompasses a fully equipped kitchen and a unified living area, ideal for dining or relaxation on the sofa. Additionally, a complete bathroom is located on this level, and these facilities are communal for all guests to share.

Waves at Madeira Surf Camp

Madeira Island presents a great variety of waves, all within a short distance, from gentle and lengthy waves ideal for beginners to challenging “big wave” conditions for experienced surfers. On the Island, there are almost no crowds, and local surfers are few in number.

For advanced surfers, the best time for surfing in Madeira is during the winter months when the swells are more consistent and the waves bigger. Jardim do Mar and Paul do Mar are the two most renowned surfing spots on the southwestern coast of Madeira.

Porto da Cruz is the local surf village with two beach breaks, that offer perfect conditions for beginners and intermediate surfers as they are the only ones with volcanic black sand. Maderia Surf Camp Surf School is located on the beach of Praia da Alagoa.

Why We Love Madeira Surf Camp

Within the vicinity, you’ll discover numerous restaurants where you can savor the local cuisine, including fresh seafood, traditional Madeiran dishes, as well as a selection of wines and spirits

Activities

When contemplating Madeira Island, the mind often drifts to images of forest hikes and daring mountain climbs. Other outdoor activities that you can do are canyoning, track running, mountain biking, paragliding, fishing, karting, golf, among others.

Yoga

Whether you aim to elevate your surfing prowess or simply relish a wellness-centered stay, our surf-specialized yoga instructors are at your service.

Get There

Madeira Surf Camp is located right in the middle of the village of Porto da Cruz, only 15 km from the International Airport and 30 km from the centre of Funchal. The best option to reach the property is the transfer. Ask us to book one with our local partners. If you rent a car, any navigation application will easily find the address.

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 Maldivesโ€™ 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.
