Lisbon Kitesurf, SUP & Surf Hostel - Costa da Caparica, Lisbon. Surf Camps in Portugal
INTRODUCTION
The hotel stands in the midst of a bunch of stone pine trees, a large natural lawn, swimming pool, tennis court and a lounge space. It is an attractive and unique accommodation unit and you’ll see that it will be unforgettable, as well!
The decoration concept was designed to give a warm atmosphere, young and functional, a sun and sea fusion, an alliance between adventure and leisure. There was also a major concern with the materials used so they could follow the recycling and reuse logic.
The reception and welcome procedures are very diligent and attentive to each guest needs, as well as very reliable. The lodging price (with breakfast included) is also another reason to choose this accommodation unit, where you can find 95 beds and 25 rooms (double, multiple and family rooms). Access to the pool and the use of individual lockers are included too. Wi-Fi connection available.
For those who’re not satisfied with relax indoors, on the grass or São João sandy beach, we too have to offer you accommodation packages of surf, bodyboard, stand up paddle, kitesurf, windsurf and yoga lessons.
And so … if it is a matter of waking up to the sound of birds, sunbathing on the grass, take a dip in the pool, learn tennis, surfing in the Atlantic, having a birthday party, a sports training or just dance until your feet hurt… the important is to come and renew some energies, catch perfect waves and reach the coast.
