Friendly Surf Camp on Madeira Island!

Founded by local surfers André Rodrigues and Hélder 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 360º 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.

Awesome holiday to Hudhuranfushi. Giulia was very helpful and quick to respond and overall we were very impressed with Awave Travel.
Lohi's is a private, on site, awesome left hander that just kept giving. Also had options of 2 daily surf boat trips that went to other local breaks such as Sultans, Ninja's, Cokes, Jails. The surf team are amazing and we scored great waves the whole time we were there.
Stayed in a Sunset family beach villa which was perfect for a family of 4, then upgraded for the last 3 nights to Ocean Villas, both great for different reasons!
Island staff are so helpful and welcoming, and there's a good variety of food options available. Lots of other things to do such as paddleboarding, jet ski-ing, spa treatments, yoga and amazing snorkelling - with sharks, turtles and rays! We also hired bikes to get around and do morning surf checks!
An amazing trip, thank you Awave and Hudhuranfushi!

Raul the surf guide was very helpful, friendly and coached us on the waves. Kaique the photographer produced top quality pictures and videos from the water, boat and drone.
Overall very happy and would highly recommend it.

We charted Seafarer for a 10 day trip in the Maldives. We booked with AWAVE about 12 months before. James was super helpful, really responsive and just easy to deal with. We even made a very last minute change to go to the central atolls which he arranged pretty much straight away. The trip itself was unreal, great surf, amazing wildlife and scenery. If you’re thinking about a surf charter, do it and book through these guys!

Awave Travel is the best surf travel agency I have ever booked! They are very professional and responsive to my inquiries and are able to match me with a surf trip appropriate to my interests and skill level. They have an outstanding relationship and reputation with the resorts that they work with, which makes a difference in the consumer experience. Above all, the Awave staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about the areas they recommend, as they have actually surfed the spots and stayed at the resorts. For anyone who wants a hassle-free, no worries, relaxing and fun surf adventure, Awave Travel is the way to go!

8 of us stayed at Hudhuranfushi for my 50th birthday celebration. The resort and services were amazing. James and the team at AWAVE stayed in contact from the beginning to end to ensure we had everything we needed. Great experience. Definitely looking forward to booking our next trip with AWAVE in the near future.

We spent amazing days in Morocco in Amouage. Was an amazing stay and the full surf package offered by AWAVE was great.
All the people were very nice and coaches were amazing. Booking was very smooth, answered all my questions and they took care of everything.
I took the coaching package and had a great time and learning. The teacher was great, very patient and explained everything very nice and calm. Felt safe all the time and had a lot of fun as well.
My boyfriend had the guiding package and he also had a great time. He was always taken to the spots that fitted his level and enjoyed the full when conditions were nice.

We stayed at Ayada in Maldives and I can't be more complimentary of AWAVE! Awesome and patient advise over whatsapp on which resort to go to with extremely details local knowledge on surf conditions, wave spots, resort quality, which atolls to go to, etc. I followed their recommendation and it was spot on. Easy booking on short notice before the trip, can't thank James enough!

Our remarkable trip was 12 months in the planning.it was awkward to organize because there was so many people coming and going over our two week chartered cruise.
I can’t speak highly enough of AWAVE and more to the point ,the wonderful Giulia Manfrini. She is so caring and sweet and far above and beyond any travel consultant that I have ever worked with
Thankyou Giulia for all your prompt answers to my gazillion questions
You are “Simply the best”.
Now onto the Carpe Diem
The trip of a lifetime was had by all 20 of us
The Captain and crew worked tirelessly to pander to our every whim
They would not allow us to lift a finger
Our Barmen Shawn and Cook ( still can’t pronounce his name ) were superb, the food was first class and varied and the alcohol flowed like a river
Our Surf guide “Seppe” found waves for us every day except for two while we travelled deep into the central Attols
We were greatful for the rest
We snorkeled with the sharks and visited uninhabited Islands spent an afternoon being spoiled at a high class resort .
All in all an Awsome trip

James helped us organize our trip in April for my partner and I in the Mentawai.
First, lets discuss the service : James was super clear and reactive. We received a list of resorts with different price ranges and he provided all the elements for us to decide based on our needs and budget. We felt very supported for the organization and we even received so advices few days before leaving for packing.
I was a bit afraid as i'm not a good surfer so i reach out many times to understand how I could still try and learn and James always replied very quick and with all the info i need.
Then when we arrive : it was super well organized, everything went smooth and we fell in love with the place and people. We can tell they really worked on their resort selection and travel organization and we trust our next adventure will be as qualitative.
Already recommended their service ;).
