Oktober - Herbstferien.
Tolle Lage - Luz zu Fuss erreichbar, Bâcker etc. alles in der Nähe. Waren mit 2.5 und 4.5 Jahre alten Kindern dort. Pool ist eingezäunt und sicher, ansonsten Areal gut einsehbar. Kinder können toben und verstecken spielen.
Strände sind in der Nähe. Je nach Windrichtung (wenn da) muss man etwas fahren aber es gibt immer einen Strand der geschützt ist.
Surf und Kletterkruse sind zu empfehelen, das Personal vor Ort weiss immer wo etwas zu holen ist.
Gerne wieder!
Super Unterkunft inklusive Pool und Outdoor Küche

Private Surf Lessons
The dictionary defines learning as the act or process of acquiring knowledge or skill or in psychology the modification of behaviour through practice, training, or experience.
We work together with highly qualified surf coaches that could upgrade your surfing skills and knowledge. But as we like reality, we don’t promise anything because surfing is about the symbioses of the nature & you.
Surf Lessons often occur at the areas best and most reliable surf beaches, Praia do Amado and Praia do Amoreira, 20-30 minutes from Lagos. Depending on conditions you may surf at any number of surf beaches nearby such as Maia Praia, Castalejo, Arrifana, Zavial, Cabanas and Porto de Mos. Either way the surf schools will pick you up and take you to the best beaches on the day.
Don't worry if you have no experience whatsoever. The beginner's lessons are taught in waist deep water riding the white water only. You will learn everything from standing techniques to turning and finally paddling outside and learning how to catch ‘green' (unbroken) waves. If you are already experienced the instructors will take you further out and help you develop your technique on bigger waves.
Lagos is a year round surf destination thanks to its position at the corner of the Algarve. It is one of Europe’s best kept secrets and offers waves for beginners, intermediates and expert surfers. It also has the warmest water in Portugal and the winter temperature is warm enough for t-shirts. In the summer the temperature is in the late 20s and stay bright until 10pm.
Within Lagos is the town's long golden sandy beach that seems to go on forever, Meia Praia, a very safe beginners surf beach, but not always reliable.
Further Afield
Head further West and after 20 minutes you arrive at a crossroad, take the turn South West and after a few minutes you reach the laid back surf town of Sagres where you will find breaks such as Tonel, Mareta, Beliche and Zavial. Again different standards are catered for in these beaches that wrap around Cape St.Vincent
Alternatively take the right turn and after 10 minutes you will reach a great beginners /intermediate surf beach Praia do Amado. Close by is one of Portugal’s most beautiful beaches Praia da Bordeira. Further North is the world class surf break in Arrifana and beginners beach Amoreira. The UK's Independent newspaper sums it up best: "Here is one of Europe's undiscovered treasures - thankfully protected by a 120km-long Parque Natural, which helps ensure that "tourist development" mostly means a café in a shack on a beach. It all seems like a fabulous secret, shared only by the intrepid few who make it this far. Their reward? Having miles and miles of these dramatic beaches (almost) to themselves."
