Lunch at a restaurant, breakfast at the hotel before heading out to surf one of the most beautiful beaches

A truly bespoke, effective and practical surfing experience

The surf school is just 100 metres from the villa. Each session is tailored to the conditions and your ability: whether it’s your first supervised take-off in a safe environment or technical work in the waves to help you progress quickly. Our approach is based on a structured teaching method that includes on-site analysis and a personalised debrief.

Once they’ve gained confidence on the sand and in the foam, beginners quickly move on to their first waves. Intermediate surfers head out to sea with personalised advice on catching more waves, reading them better and surfing for longer on their own.
