A remote place, in a beautiful setting on the north coast of Madeira Island, 2 minutes walk from the beach. The surf is an extra.
Madeira Surf Camp is a guesthouse in the heart of the village and historic area of Porto da Cruz, Madeira. 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
Double-bed 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.
The best option to reach the property is the transfer. Ask us to book one with our local partners. It is cheaper than the taxis you find at the airport. If you rent a car, any navigation application will easily find the address.
ACCESS TO PROPERTY
You have access to all common areas of the property and your room.

later there were some small heaters in the common area, which i was grateful for during early mornings. there were also hair dryers in the common room (other than in the reviews before described). and it was no problem to use the washing machine.
all in all, small and easy accommodation. it almost had a hostel feeling, cooking and eating/working together on the terrace. i had good company there!
i would come again! :)
Feb 2025
We appreciate your input on the temperature at night and will take it into consideration for future stays. It's wonderful to know that the heaters and hairdryers were helpful.
We’re glad you had a great time and look forward to welcoming you again in the future. Thanks once more for sharing your feedback!

Porto da Cruz is a very charming and small town and it is perfect if you want to go surfing. I can highly recommend the surflessons that the hostel offers. I already had some surfing experience, but the teachers were amazing and I learned a lot from them.
Héldar was also a great host, who really tried care for his guests. All in all I had a great time.
The only thing I could say here is that some of the chairs on the terrace were not in the best condition anymore but Héldar already told us that he will buy new ones soon.
Oct 2024
We also take note of your observation about the condition of some chairs on the terrace. Your feedback is important to us and we're already in the process of updating them as part of our continuous effort to provide a comfortable and enjoyable stay for our guests. We hope to welcome you back in the future.
Best Regards

Molta quiete perfetta per riposare, disturbata solo dalla chiesa vicino per i rintocchi delle campane ma non direi che è stata un fastidio.
Il terrazzo molto bello e comodo per rilassarsi con vista parziale dell'oceano. Posizione perfetta.
Assenza di condizionatore, aprendo la finestra è entrata una zanzara fastidiosa per cui a un certo punto è iniziata la "caccia ". Un appoggio per gli zaini/valigie oltre alla sedia presente nella camera sarebbe stato comodo così come più "appendini' in bagno per le asciugamani.

We are sorry to hear that the absence of air conditioner and the entry of a pesky mosquito interrupted your rest.Please note that the property is not advertised as having AC.
Once again we thank you for your feedback and we hope to have you with us again in the future.

Критично мало крючков или места для расположения одежды. Нет москитных сеток и нет кондиционера, зато есть комары, которые не дают спать.

Извините за неудобства, связанные с недостатком крючков для одежды, отсутствием москитных сеток и кондиционера. Ваш отзыв очень важен для нас, и мы обязательно учтем эти моменты для улучшения нашего сервиса в будущем. Спасибо, что поделились своим опытом, это помогает нам стать лучше.

Pokój zadbany, z widokiem na ocean.
Do dyspozycji przestronna kuchnia z salonem, oraz duży taras na dachu budynku.
Elastyczna forma zameldowania również na plus.
Mały minus, jeśli ktoś ma lekki sen, dzwony pobliskiego kościoła mogą nieco przeszkadzać.
