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

Uncrowded quality waves for all surfing levels!

The surf camp is immersed in the local traditions and outstanding nature, steps away from the beach!

Madeira Surf Camp offers four suite rooms, each equipped with a private full bathroom. Among them, two feature a queen-size double bed, while the remaining two have two single beds that can be conveniently combined to form a double bed.

The Cuisine

Madeira Surf Camp offers a fully equipped kitchen for guests’ disposal.

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. The yoga sessions are surf-focused, but we’re open to requests for other styles too. This practice seamlessly translates to surfing, enhancing foundational aspects for all levels: focus, strength, balance and flexibility.

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.

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!
