Detailed Reviews
Myself and two friends had the pleasure of learning to surf with Surf Lisbon during August 2021. None of us had surfed before, but everyone was very friendly and we felt welcome from the moment we arrived. The instructors were very attentive and encouraging, and gave feedback as we went along, so could really feel ourselves improving over the 4 days we were there.
We also stayed in the 3 person Mezzanine room in the surf house which had a gorgeous ocean view. Breakfast was provided, and there was also ample social space, and a nice courtyard to relax in. It was a great place to meet new people, and the evenings were very social. There was also a shared kitchen and fridge space should guests want to cook.
Overall we found the experience (surfing and accommodation) to be of incredible value, and we had such a great time, so have got definite plans to return in the near future!

If I were to choose an highlight for 2020 it would definitely be my stay at Surf Lisbon and the surfing lessons.
The instructors go above and beyond to make the lessons pleasant and enjoyable for everyone, even if everyone has a different surfing level. I feel accomplished after every lesson and I always feel I learnt something and improved something.
The House is incredible. Amazing vibe, amazing view and location, really cozy and comfortable.
Whether you're traveling alone or with friends you'll feel at home and you'll definitely feel welcome by the staff.
I cannot emphasize enough how incredible the staff is.
Thank you for having me. I really want to come back soon.

Me and my cousin decided bought one half-day lesson as first timers just to try how it would be to surf.
We had never done it before but it was that cool that we decided to book another one the next day. The instructors are simply amazing (Tiago and Hugo) as they taught us every single thing to surf and helped us to develop our surf skills directly in the water.
The communication via email and Whatsapp was also very on point and just fell natural to keep going surfing with this company.
A must-do if you're in Lisbon and we'll definitely book the surfhouse very soon!

Spending a morning with Surf Lisbon was my absolute favorite part of my trip to Portugal. I’ve never surfed before, so I was nervous, but it was so amazing. Our instructors were great teachers and made our day so fun! I appreciated that they took the time to help everyone in the group and made sure everyone was catching waves. The location was beautiful and it was so convenient that they picked up from downtown and provided transportation. If you’re in Lisbon, this is a must.

I had a wonderful experience with Surf Lisbon. They pick you up from a really easily accessible location in Lisbon and drive you to the beach and back. The instructors were all so lovely and excellent teachers. The beach we went to was beautiful and the waves were perfect for learning on. I had a great time and will be going back! Thanks guys

Had an amazing week at surf Lisbon. All the surf, friends, fun and laughs you could wish for. Was made to feel at home right away and all the team were amazing. Accommodation was luxurious in a beautiful location which felt safe and had plenty to see (a 20 min Uber/train from Lisbon), and the breakie was awesome :) surf lessons available every morning and/or afternoon but no pressure to do anything. Instructors took us to the places with the best conditions and made sure we had fun and caught plenty of waves. Would absolutely recommend this place to everyone, beginner or experienced, solo or with friends! Thanks for making it a memorable time in Portugal! I would love to come back :)

I booked two private half-day lessons with Surf Lisbon and had a great experience surfing for the first time! The beach is not very far away from Lisbon city center and transfers to and from city are included. I had Diogo and he was an amazing instructor with lots of energy. He was always cheering me on and gave me lots of helpful advice for surfing. I’d highly recommend this place for anyone who’s around in Lisbon who’d like to try out surfing :)

I surfed for 2 days with Surf Lisbon- I stayed in Alfama, and it was a quick and easy metro ride to the pick up spot. My surf instructor both days was Zé, and he was so patient and kind and he made me feel safe in the water even when bigger waves came. Both days, at three different beaches, in three different kinds of waves, Zé got me to stand up on several waves that I rode to the shore. He told us the right way to approach a wave, and the safe way to dive under waves that were too big for us (for now).
I highly recommend!

Very friendly and professional staff. I stayed in the shared attic room on one of the upper beds. The ceiling is quite low there so one of the lower beds might be more comfortable for tall people. Breakfast consisted of bread, cereal, oranges, yoghurt etc. Coffee was available at all times. The kitchen seemed well-equipped but I didn't do any cooking. There is a shared TV in the ground floor living room. A lot of books in Portuguese and some in English as well.

I went solo to the surf house having never surfed before - having everything taken care of made it super easy and everyone was very patient. They are keen for you to really enjoy your learning experience so they really get you in the water asap. I far exceeded my own expectations and surfed all the way to the sand ( with a wee push) !

Hi, I am very sorry for my late reply but I haven’t received any notifications..
So, regarding the shower-rooms, they are in the bathrooms. In the house there are three bathrooms and they are outside the rooms..
During breakfast they serve the food that is meant to be eaten at breakfast so I am afraid you cannot take the food to the beach.. :( anyway if you have lessons in the mornings and afternoons usually at the beach where they usually have lessons there’s a bar that serves sandwiches and musli and other delicious things and it is not expensive at all! and you can also buy some groceries close to the house!
I hope this helps! Please let me know if you are gonna stay at the house! bye!
