It all started in 2018 with a gorgeous house that we immediately called Surf Villa. The name was easy due to all the facilities & architecture. It has very large common areas such as living room, dinning area, huge garden and pool. It has 4 shared rooms, 2 private rooms and full capacity of 27 people.
During covid we wanted to offer something more private and closer to Cascais centre. That's when the Surf Cascais Apartment was born and became part of our surf camps family. There you can find a decent open space with a fully equipped kitchen and living room, a sea view balcony / office and a very comfortable ensuite double / twin room. Including the living room sofa bed, it can accommodate up to 4 people.
Due to the lack of private rooms offer, we decided to look for another house close to the Surf Villa. We finally found a mini Villa last October that we called Surf House. As soon as you get in you feel like you are on an extension of the original Villa, just smaller, cozier and way less busy. There you can find only 3 private rooms and a totally capacity of 7 people.
In this blog post you will find the highlights of all the 3 different accommodations, so you can choose whatever suits you best:
