THE ACCOMMODATION
Surf camp for Teenagers in Spain
The teen surf summer camp is set in a privileged beachside location, allowing us to walk directly to all surf lessons, without the need for transport — this creates more time in the water and a stronger daily routine for our surfers.
The camp accommodation is inside a camping complex, in newly built hostel-style dorms, where all our surf-camp rooms are gathered in the same dedicated corner of the site, ensuring a tight community atmosphere, easier supervision, and a stronger group identity for our teenagers.
In parallel, the restaurant and the entire camping complex are being fully renovated for a complete relaunch and opening in 2026
The surrounding area is peaceful and nature-filled, blending quiet holiday and residential spaces, making it very safe, pleasant, and easy to explore on foot. Teens can safely walk to nearby:
- Local restaurants
- A supermarket
- Soccer & basketball courts
- Skateparks
- And Always return to the main highlight: the beautiful beach and ocean
The camp sits away from busy commercial zones, meaning teens can fully enjoy a beach-focused summer, with plenty of outdoor activities nearby, without urban distractions.
