Madeira Surf Camp is a hostel type accommodation in the village of Porto da Cruz. It is situated right in the middle of the village of Porto da Cruz.
The village is surrounded by volcanic black sand beaches, ideal for those who want to take surf lessons and learn to surf in Madeira Island.
The village does not have a very busy nightlife like other surf destinations in Portugal, however if you are looking for a closer contact with nature and a relaxed lifestyle, then this is your surfcamp.
The Madeira Surf Camp was founded by local surfers André Rodrigues and Hélder Vieira who wanted to offer to other surfers, the local waves, nature, gastronomy and island culture. This renovated Surf Camp & School has a terrace with 360º views of the sea and the mountains surrounding the village.
Just like any other hostel, we have 4 double (double, twin or single) private rooms with private bathroom and one shared room with bathroom. All guests and surfers have unrestricted access to all areas of the house, from the terrace, to the equipped kitchen, living room with free WiFi and other amenities.
Location
The village of Porto da Cruz is located on the north coast of Madeira Island, between the mountains and the Atlantic Ocean. The beaches in Porto da Cruz are especially suitable for beginner surfers, as they are the only ones with volcanic black sand with surfable waves.
Madeira Surf Camp is surrounded by banana plantations, vineyards, yet it is only 15 km from the International Airport and 30 km from the center of Funchal. The village of Porto da Cruz still preserves its traditions, with a relaxed lifestyle and a very hospitable local culture. The beach and all necessary services are just a few meters from the Surf Camp.
Being located in a rural area, there are several outdoor activities that you can do, such as canyoning, trail running, mountain biking, paragliding, fishing, go to karting, among others.
The village has several restaurants where you can try the regional gastronomy, such as fresh fish, seafood and other traditional dishes from Madeiran cuisine, as well as wines and spirits.
