Surfivor Surf Camp & Surf School

Surfivor claims pioneer status as one of the first surf camps in northern Portugal, and decades of operation have refined everything from beach logistics to instructor quality. The beachfront guesthouse puts you at the doorstep of uncrowded surf spots—the kind of empty lineups that made Portugal famous before the crowds discovered Ericeira and Peniche. The location in Esmoriz offers something the more famous destinations can't: space. Waves for every level without fighting for position. The weekly packages from €475 include seven nights accommodation with ocean views and surf lessons structured around conditions and ability. The "almost like individual lessons" praise from guests reflects small group sizes and professional instruction. Beyond surfing, the activity menu reveals the complete northern Portugal experience: yoga sessions, Ayurveda massage, Porto sightseeing with wine tastings, beach walks through the natural park. BBQ evenings and sunset drinks build community among guests. Featured by The Guardian and The Times, Surfivor has earned media recognition that newer operations still pursue. Free cancellation up to 30 days removes booking anxiety.
