About
A-Frame Surf & Yoga Camp sits directly on the beach in El Palmar, Andalucia - the only surfcamp with its feet in the sand at this legendary Spanish surf spot. Founded over 20 years ago, this German-run camp has become a go-to destination for European surfers seeking consistent waves, professional instruction, and a welcoming community atmosphere. The camp offers two distinct locations: the beachfront Strand Surfcamp right on the waves, and the peaceful Oasis Surfcamp just 350 meters inland for those seeking extra tranquility.
What sets A-Frame apart is their direct beach access and experienced team of certified surf instructors (ISA and ILS licensed). Surf courses are adapted to individual fitness levels and skills for rapid progress, taught in small groups with personalized attention. The camp caters to everyone from complete beginners to intermediate surfers looking to take their skills to the next level. The El Palmar beachbreak offers waves year-round, with over 15 surf spots nearby for all levels and minimal crowds compared to busier destinations.
The camp kitchen serves fresh, healthy meals daily - hearty breakfasts with a huge muesli station, power lunches, and three-course dinners five nights a week. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options are always available. Between surf sessions, guests can join yoga classes on the ocean-view terrace, relax in the flower-filled courtyard, play ping pong, or catch up on work in the co-working space with high-speed WIFI. The atmosphere is laid-back but social - dinners bring everyone together, and the terrace is perfect for watching sunsets over the Atlantic.
With 3000 hours of sunshine per year and average temperatures around 22 degrees, El Palmar offers some of the best surfing conditions in Europe. The camp has hosted families, solo travelers, couples, and surf groups for two decades, building a reputation for quality instruction, comfortable accommodations, and genuine hospitality.
