We completely renovated the property in 2020 in order to accommodate those who visit us in comfort and safety, in a centenary house. Here you can have your privacy and, if you want, hang out with us and the other guests. The rehabilitation of the terrace has made this space the ex-libris of the property. With a sunbathing solarium, a shower to refresh yourself, and a barbecue for outdoor meals. This in an exotic setting in the northeast of Madeira Island, with 360º views over the sea and mountains surrounding the village. On the lower floor, there is a fully equipped kitchen and living room in a single room where you can have your meals or relax on the sofa. There is also a complete bathroom on this floor, and the kitchen and living room are shared with all guests. Madeira Surf Camp was founded by local surfers André Rodrigues and Hélder Vieira who wanted to offer to other surfers, the local waves, nature, gastronomy and culture of the island. ROOM Two single-beds room. Oriented to the East, you can enjoy the sea view that the room has. Completely renovated in 2020, you'll find the comfort you're looking for your rest. The room has storage for your belongings and bathroom with shower. AREA The village of Porto da Cruz is located on the northern coast of Madeira Island, between the mountains and the Atlantic Ocean. The beaches of Porto da Cruz are especially suitable for beginner surfers as they are the only ones with volcanic black sand with surfable waves. Porto da Cruz still preserves its traditions, with a relaxed lifestyle and a very hospitable local culture. In the area, there are several restaurants where you can taste the regional gastronomy, such as fresh fish, seafood and other traditional Madeiran dishes, as well as wines and spirits. The village does not have a very busy nightlife like other surfing destinations in Portugal. However, if you are looking for a closer contact with nature and a relaxed lifestyle, then this is your surf camp. Madeira Surf Camp is surrounded by banana plantations, vineyards, and it is only 15 km from the International Airport and 30 km from the centre of Funchal. The beach and all the necessary services are just a few meters from the Surf Camp. Being located in a rural area, there are several outdoor activities that you can do, such as canyoning, track running, mountain biking, paragliding, fishing, karting, among others. SURF The village is surrounded by volcanic black sandy beaches, ideal for those who want to take surfing lessons and learn to surf in Madeira Island. In Madeira Island there are almost no crowds, in fact not many local surfers. The north coast has the highest consistency and exposure to the North Atlantic swells and the widest range of waves and various levels of surfing. The island offers a vast array of waves just minutes away, from long and soft waves suitable for beginners to extreme surfing conditions for "big wave surfers". For beginner surfers, the most popular spots in Porto da Cruz are all black sand: Alagoa - A small bay, just two minutes walk from the surf field and the surf school. Ideal for learning and surfing lessons as it is protected from the big waves. Maiata - It is about ten minutes away from the surf camp. It is the largest and most beautiful sandy beach in Madeira, it can withstand waves of up to 2 metres. Contact us to make a special price for accommodation + surf lessons one week pack. GETTING AROUND Once in Madeira, leave the airport on the motorway towards Santana, just follow the signs to Porto da Cruz. Madeira Surf Camp is located right in the middle of the village of Porto da Cruz. When you reach the exit to Porto da Cruz, take the right (2nd exit) at the roundabout. Go directly to the centre of Porto da Cruz village, on the regional road for about 3 minutes. Arriving at the village, take the 2nd exit where you will find the blue house. You can also reach Porto da Cruz using public transport, the bus company is called SAM and leaves from Avenida do Mar in Funchal or the airport terminal. The bus numbers are 53, 78 and 208.

Sadly no one was there to welcome us and "explain" the house when we arrived... Unfortunately the bathroom door couldn't be closed properly which was a little bit uncomfortable for both persons. Additionally, the shower door was broken (also couldn't be closed/opened as intended) and also the toilet flush didn't function well (kept on running if not pressed again) ##### Catharina H.

Apr 29, 2022 #### Séjour très sympa Ce logement était impeccablement propre et très bien entretenu. La chambre n'était pas très spacieuse mais très propre et agréable avec une vue sur la mer. Les parties communes (cuisine, salle à manger et séjour) étaient très bien équipés. Helder fut un hôte attentionné, très à l'écoute et réactif à nos demandes. Si vous souhaitez séjournée à Porto da Cruz je vous recommande vivement Madeira Surf Camp et ce même si vous ne surfez pas. ##### Sandra G.
