Mayla Surf House

Mayla Surf House occupies a prime position in Vale da Telha, the residential area that surfers have discovered makes an ideal base for accessing the Algarve's best breaks. Arrifana, Monte Clérigo, and Amoreira beaches all sit within 4 kilometers—close enough to check conditions before deciding where to paddle out. The accommodation feels more like a Portuguese home than a typical surf camp. Rooms for 2 or 4 guests have hillside views and private terraces. A shared living room with fireplace creates winter evening gathering spaces, while the pool and lush garden handle summer relaxation. The setup works for solo travelers seeking community, couples wanting a surf-focused escape, or families introducing kids to waves. What distinguishes Mayla is their private surf point at Amoreira Beach—one of the Algarve's most scenic breaks where the river meets the ocean. Certified instructors guide all levels through step-by-step progression, adapting to individual goals rather than running generic lessons. The website runs in four languages reflecting the international community that gathers here, drawn by friendly vibes and Portuguese coastal authenticity.
