Boutique Surf Lodge in the outstanding Algarve!

Stay and relax in a boutique 16-person lodge set in a peaceful rural environment. A home away from home, centrally located close to the best surf beaches in the Algarve. Forget the classic idea of surf camp and think about a luxury chalet!

Tiny Whale Surf Lodge offers a personalized approach to surf coaching and impeccable attention to every detail to deliver you a surf holiday you’ll never forget!

The Lodge

Set in the peaceful Algarve countryside, 10 minutes away from the vibrant town of Lagos, the lodge welcomes its guests with a hint of luxury. Tiny Whale offers Saturday to Saturday Surf Weeks for all levels and tastes.

The lodge has been designed with social spaces in mind: it has a large terraced garden home to an outdoor pool, jacuzzi, dining area with pizza oven, bar, lounge area with fire pit, yoga space, table tennis table, and surfboard/wetsuit area.

Great local food, wild nature, a rich ecosystem, and a welcoming traditional culture are just a plus to the good surfing of the area, making it a great destination for non-surfers alike!

Waves at Tiny Whale Surf Lodge

The outstanding coastline of the Algarve counts on plenty of waves both in its West and South Coast, depending on swell and wind direction. Renown to be one of the warmest areas of Europe due to its geographical position, the surf is all-year-round with the best waves to be found during the fall months.

The countryside of the Algarve is a gently undulating mesh of forests and small fields, leading down to an undeveloped coastline of high cliffs and long empty beaches scattered with rocks. A great variety of sandy bottom breaks and points roll at every corner and can get really epic when the right conditions line up.

Whether you’ve never surfed before or are already able to stand and turn the highly qualified surf coaches will teach you in small groups with an own personalized program!

Why We Love Tiny Whale Surf Lodge

The professional surf coaching with small personalised groups and many surf-related activities to improve your skills!

The quiet rural environment with plenty of fantastic waves within easy reach!

The high-end accommodation and the delicious healthy food! A perfect combo for a great stay!

Accommodation

All rooms at the Lodge come with everything you’ll need to be comfortable during your stay. They include fresh linen and towels along with well-thought-of finishing touches like cosy blankets and extra cushions for that extra homely feel.

Either choose the luxury of an en-suite room, a comfortable private room with a shared bathroom (with another room only), or the new luxury bell tents (with a private bathroom in the garden). All private rooms can be booked as single, double, twin. For single travelers there is also one female-only shared (max 2 guests) room and one mixed shared room (max 3 guests).

The Cuisine

The delicious and locally sourced healthy food is freshly prepared by the in-house chef to give you all the energies needed during and after a day at the beach!

Every day starts with a great healthy and nutritious breakfast to give you the energy to take on a day full of surf & yoga! Daily we seek the best waves on one of the beautiful beaches in the Algarve armed with a gourmet healthy picnic, with plenty of goodies! The in-chef prepares delicious and healthy 2-course meals for dinner, usually served with either a colourful cocktail or a regional glass of wine.

Unlimited coffee, tea, and water are included in the package. When you need to unwind, we also have an outdoor honesty bar with snacks, a selection of soft drinks and local wines and beers. The lodge can cater to all diets through prior arrangement.

Activities

Along with their facilities, the surf lodge hospitality team is on hand providing anything extra you may need throughout your stay. The Algarve with its gorgeous coastline has a lot to offer apart from surfing. The packages include several non-surfing activities such as surf skate, surf-inspired yoga and paddleboarding. Other activities and excursions are available on-site at extra charge.

Wellness

A full range of treatments is on offer to assist your recovery between surf lessons, and allow you to indulge in some much-needed relaxation during your stay. The experienced therapists work with you to create a treatment to best suit you, using a blend of classical Swedish massage with deep tissue and myofascial release techniques, to leave you feeling relaxed and re-energised for the next day in the water.

Special Weeks

Tiny Whale Surf Lodge offers exclusive women-only Roxy Women surf weeks for beginners and intermediate surfers alike. Join other like-minded ladies for a week of surf whilst enjoying the beautiful Algarve.
Intermediate and advanced surfers looking to master new goals through a combination of video coaching, practical theory, forecasting and more, can join the Green Wave Rider and Advanced Coaching Surf Weeks!

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).

Tons of activities on island to enjoy, not just the surf!! Sailing, snorkelling, paddle boards, just to name some!

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.
