    Family, Family, Family. This is one of the best places that i have ever stayed. The team make you feel like you are part of the family from the moment you arrive to the villa. I extended my stay as it was so nice here, you really feel like you are at home. The owners & staff here are one of the best attractions. ROOMS They have both private rooms & shared rooms. I stayed in a shared room with four beds. The bunks are super comfortable & have privacy curtain, power outlet, locker attached. My room also had a nice balcony. The room was also super cool in the evening great for sleeping in the summer. COMMON AREAS This villa has so many places to chill out in. The indoor living & dining area are very well designed with huge TV & sofa for those netflix nights. They have the front outdoor terrace with sun loungers, huge communal outdoor dining tables to the side and the best is at the back with a games rooms, bar & lounge area. We had some great nights out in the garden with the communal dinners & a few beers after. SERVICES It is a surf villa so the main attraction is surfing. Ricardo the owner & the staff have a surf school close by that i used everyday. Breakfast is included with the possibility of added communal dinners made my chef Luis. The team can organise anything for you from boat trips to cabs just ask & they will find a way. LOCATION Located about 30 mins outside downtown Lisbon (you can get an Uber from the airport for €15) in Costa Da Caparica. Is perfectly placed to head out to the beach, take in some local meals at the corner bar & go out for the night in the city.

    If you're looking to learn how to surf, look no further. The instructors here are amazing, if you're serious and want to improve then they will be there for you, answer any questions, you will seriously get better even after just one week. Many people I went with had never surfed, all stood up on day one! The school is so well organised and just great fun. The camp is also excellent, great vibe, a mix of relaxed and energetic fun. Being picky, the rooms are very basic but you're not paying for a 5 star hotel, and the one thing that surprised me was how organised every day was, there's a schedule for everything but no one's forcing you to get involved in the extra activities. Definitely take them up on borrowing a bike, it's a quick ride to the beach but would be a longer walk for sure. I travelled alone for the first time in my life and made friends all over the world now, I had one of the most amazing weeks!

    The best week of my life!! I came there on my own and left with so many amazing friends. In the first day that I arrived I already felt like I was part of the family. The environment and vibes in the surf house were so good! The food was super delicious 😋 there are always vegan and vegetarian options and the surf lessons were awesome! I progressed so much in just 1 week. The volunteers are so nice and friendly. Everyday there is evenings planned and trips for everyone, it is very well organized. I strongly recommend Gota Dagua surf camp!! And for sure that I will be back next year!

    Amazing week! I was solo traveling, met amazing people. You can bike to the beach where you have your surf classes. The surf house is cute and aesthetic. Food is really tasty, vegan/vegetarian options available always. Volunteers are the ones, who make this place really great. There is a lot of socializing, surfing but also relaxing. Everyone can choose its own way to spend this week. Highly recommend!

    Thank you so much for this incredible week full of beautiful encounters, happy surf sessions, sunsets, and good dinners. Our stay was perfect from the beginning to the end.

    Such an amazing surf camp! I am working as a volunteer and the Gota Dagua Team is just so welcoming, lovely & fun. The camp looks and feels like holiday. Comfortable rooms, great food, fun activities after diner and a great beach to surf and chill. It doesn’t feel like a camp it feels like family! 🤙🏻🥰

    From the moment I arrived at the camp I knew it was something special. The Bali lifestyle feel crossed with the spirit of the Atlantic ocean! Everyone from the owners to instructors to guests was super lovely and I made some new friends for life. Can't forget the famous Friday BBQ and speeches too!

    I would recommend everyone to spend a journey at Gota dAgua Surf Camp. The activities are good planned, not only the thoretical and practical surf lessons, but also the extras, like the parties at the camp, the dinner/night outs and the trip to the Paradise Beach. There is a great staff, all are very nice and dedicated, and try to offer you a unique experience. At the end you feel like a member of their family, and you just want to come back soon!!

    I had the best week at Gota Dagua! The whole team are so welcoming and friendly. I travelled alone but made friends straight away. Pedro and Pedro, our two surf instructors, are brilliant. They’re really fun and make sure everyone is having a good time while learning to surf! Perfect for beginners. You have to go!

    This is a great group of friendly and talented surfers. Every time I visit I get the same instructor, which is great for continuity and building my confidence. The surf school is right on the beach, part of the Tarquinio Beach-Bar building which has an ATM and toilets you can use (and great food btw). Great video analysis too.

    I had such a great time with the crew and all the people I've met at the surf camp. I learned a lot from the surf lessons, and want to give a special shout out to the yoga teacher Livia. Her lessons were very professional and inspiring. Thank you guys!

    It was just perfect <3 The day starts with yoga, led by a super lovely yoga teacher. Then a delicious breakfast and then surfing with great surf instructors who help you a lot to make progress. Fantastic dinner and great cocktails as well! I would have liked to stay way longer. The Gota Dagua Family is warmly, friendly, helpful and a great team <3 I can only recommend the surfcamp! Thanks for this fantastic time, I will never forget it!

    It's the best surf camp I've ever been to! The people are very friendly, helpful and humorous! It's all very eye-to-eye and the people are very authentic and just amazing! Each individual is dealt with individually. The food is also considered - so being vegan is not a problem there. :) The yoga lessons and surf lessons are very educational and are accompanied by a very professional photographer. People are very open! Fun is guaranteed! I will definitely go again! I've never had to fight so hard with tears to go back from vacation! I can only recommend it!!!!! It is soo beautiful!!! Endless love for the camp and the people who work there!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

    I went to Gota Dagua with 5 friends. This week was just so incredible ! First Time surfing for us but the instructors are really good and in less than 2 lessons, you can stand up on your board. I didn’t expect an experience like this, people were so kind, you feel in a family! The staff, cookers, social host, barmans, thank you all guys for this incredible week !

  • 5/5 Julia M. 7 months ago on Google
    We have spent one week in this surfcamp and it has been one of our best vacations! The crew was always nice and helpful, the surf lessons were super fun (especially the instructors did an amazing job - thanks to that once again) and the events in the evening were well organised. Just the vegan options could improve a little but otherwise everything was perfectly fine. We would really recommend it and hopefully we will spend another holiday there once again - thank you for this wonderful week!! :)

  • 5/5 Carin A. 1 year ago on Google
    Best surf camp I've ever been! They definitely earn the 5 star rating. Both the staff of the camp, as well as the surf instructors do everything in their power to provide you the best time possible. :) Great international guests and delicious food to start and finish as lovely day at the beach and in the ocean. Make sure you visit this place, you won't regret it!

  • 5/5 Dhruv G. 1 year ago on Google
    The surf camp has to be one of the best trips I have ever taken. Had the time of my life. Thanks to the team, the volunteers and the surfing instructors. The stay is very comfortable, the food is amazing and the activities are always fun. The surfing instructors are really good and help surfers with all levels of experience. I travelled alone and came back with unforgettable memories and some great friends. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Vitalii Z. 5 months ago on Google
    Very cool camp where you can learn surf and have a lot of fun. The team makes your stay unforgettable and full of joy, support, and amazing moments. Highly recommend for those who likes work hard and party hard kind of holidays

  • 5/5 Liset X. 6 months ago on Google
    I stayed at this surf camp for one week in September and had the best time! The rooms are clean, and the staff in the house and at the surf school are super friendly. We had a really nice group of international people, in the age range 22-35. Average age was 27 I would guess. Lots of people travel solo, and since there are many activities it’s easy to make friends. We had surf and yoga lessons (optional) every day, and most evenings had an activity as well. We had karaoke night, beach party and a half day trip to Lisbon. Partying is optional, but if you really don’t like to party or to drink, this might not be the place for you. The food was above my expectations, enjoyed every dinner here! Vegetarian and vegan options are also possible. If you’re unsure about booking: just do it. You will have the best time! I’m already planning to book another trip here or to the Sri Lanka house with the friends I made during the week I stayed here.💙 Little point of improvement: some new fabric on the couch pillows outside won’t hurt haha ;)

  • 5/5 Kadir A. 2 years ago on Google
    An indescribable place with a breathtaking vibe! Besides the surf program - by the way with the best surf instructors - you will experience unforgettable moments! You feel at home and find friends from all around the world. Recommended for anyone who wants to experience an unforgettable adventure.

  • 5/5 Janini 1 year ago on Google
    We absolutely loved our stay at Gota Dagua!! When we arrived the vibe totally caught us and we felt like on vacation from second one on. The whole Gota Dagua team did an amazing job - everything was so well organized (social activities, bikes, food, surf school) and the food (breakfast and dinner!!) was amazing! We will for sure return in the future - looking forward already!

  • 5/5 Lmar N. 2 years ago on Google
    I came to Gota Dagua because I wanted to have a week of surfing, but it turned out to be a lot more than that. While there were surf lessons with great instructors every day, coming back home to the hostel was just as much fun. Whether it were the big daily dinners with everyone, all the different activities and trips, or just simply hanging around on the patio with the staff and the other guests, it was always a great time and I highly recommend to everyone to go on this week long journey to Gota Dagua

  • 5/5 Elles W. 2 years ago on Google
    It was an amazing week! I loved the concept of all arriving on the same day, having dinners and activities together - it really does feel like one big family! The staff and volunteers are great and make you feel at home, they are always there for good times. The surf instructors are the best, paying a lot of attention and giving a lot of feedback to help you improve. It was great and I definitely will be back!

  • 5/5 Selma C. 2 years ago on Google
    It was my second time at the camp and again I had an unforgettable time. The crew is made up of people with a big hearts who run the camp and the surf lessons with a lot of effort. I can only recommend the camp to everyone, become a part of the Gota family, you won't regret it.

  • 5/5 Quentin M. 3 years ago on Google
    Compare to others, this camp is very unique. The location is perfect, close to the best beach to learn how to surf and very close to the city. Their houses have everything we need, modern equipment, comfortable bedroom, chill living room, ping pong, soccer table and even a bar! But what makes this place special is the vibe created by their team, they are very inclusive people, you will never feel alone and you will leave this place filled with memories and new friendships.

  • 5/5 FRC A. 2 years ago on Google
    This week at the camp was amazing. I get to meet so many nice people from all around the world. The surf instructors take time to help everyone of us during the lessons. It was a great week, in a friendly environment, and I will come back for sure ! Thanks to all the team 🤙🏻❤️

  • 5/5 Lara J. 7 months ago on Google
    This is so worth it! Very social and welcoming surf camp with lots of guests from different places in the world. Daily activities were super fun and the surf lessons are honestly of the highest quality. The staff does their best to make your stay as memorable as possible. The breakfast and dinners are very good, and in general, what you get for the price is incredible!!

  • 5/5 Lale T. 7 months ago on Google
    My week here was an absolute blast! From the moment I arrived, it felt like I was welcomed into a warm and friendly family -even though I went alone. Even as a total beginner to surfing, the instructors were really patient and great at teaching. All the food prepped -dinners and breakfasts- were delicious. If you're up for an unforgettable adventure with incredible surf, great vibes, and amazing people, Gota Dagua Surf Camp is where you should go!

  • 5/5 Sofia C. 2 years ago on Google
    The best place ever. Is a big family with wonderful people. When the trip is finished you just want to return back. The surf classes are really well done. The evening there is always a dinner with all guests and staff and many activities. Recommended!

    My new happy place! It was the first time at the surfcamp and I had the time of my life, everything was just perfect!! I decided to stay longer and I am definitely coming back!! The staff, activities, facilities and surf teachers were excellen! The Surf teachers have a lot of knowledge we all made big improvements! I am so thankful for having found Gota Dagua, it's like a big family, everyone is incredibly welcoming and nice! I felt like home since day one! Also the food was delicious a lot of variation and super tasty. The atmosphere is unbeatable, so much fun and good vibes! Can't wait to be back!

  • 5/5 Maksym B. 1 year ago on Google
    I was one week , and it was amazing. The food, place, people everything was perfect. Because the houses were not so close to the beach everyone had the bicycle to go there. The surf instructors were trying to help even if you belongs to different instructor (everyone happy to help you catch the waves).

  • 5/5 Andrea H. 10 months ago on Google
    Thank you for the amazing and unforgettable time! The camp is Perfect located, only 5min by bike to the Beach. The camp is modern, clean and cozy. The team always made everyone feel comfortable and have fun, it was such a great positive atmosphere, like a small family. Thanks to Theo, Anastacios, Jules for always spreading such a good mood and everything was so well organized! Thanks to Mathilda for the delicious drinks, thanks to the kitchen for the outstanding food (so yummy!!) and thanks to the whole team for doing a great job! Thanks to the Surf teachers we learned a lot and had so much fun! We Hope to come back ❤️❤️❤️

  • 5/5 Céline A. 1 year ago on Google
    The Gota Dagua Surf Camp is beyond everything you would expect and so much more. The AMAZING food, heartwarming atmosphere and perfectly thought-out activities made this a week to never forget. It is a true solo traveler’s paradise. I felt safe, and I felt looked after. The line between “staff” and “family” starts to blur pretty quickly, and you will have a daily routine that will make you want to readjust your life after you leave the camp. You know how we’re always secretly looking for something to change our lives? This is it. This is that experience.

  • 5/5 Sami F. 8 months ago on Google
    One of the best experience in my life, the mood and the mentality are crazy, every one is here to improve or learn surf and have a good time. In one week you become so close to people that you don’t want to leave them. The staff is very professional, the instructors are the best. I really recommend this surf camp, it is an amazing life experience.

  • 1/5 Ashling Mc P. 1 year ago on Google
    I don’t recommend this school. I have surfed many times and took a beginner class to be with my friends who tried for the first time. 1. One of my friends got hurt and her coach couldn’t care less. My friend stayed on the beach for the full lesson without him coming over to check up on her. 2. For my part, the coach I had was unprofessional. He took more waves than I did while on the job (he only helped me in 2-3 waves during an hour class). At some point we had to paddle back on a big distance and he left with a wave to the beach because the current was « too strong ». If the current had really been this strong, I wouldn’t have managed like a walk in the park. Avoid the school, there are some much better ones around that are actually people-centered.

  • 5/5 Amanda G. 9 months ago on Google
    This place is incredible. Beautiful location. Incredible vibes. Great instruction. Super friendly people. I felt at home RIGHT away. Special shout out to Anastácio for crushing it as social host! 10/10 would recommend this spot !!

  • 5/5 Megan P. 9 months ago on Google
    Gota Gagua really is a family. I had such an amazing time here. Unfortunately I dislocated my shoulder before getting the chance to surf, but I still had an amazing week even without surfing (imagine how much more fun it would be if I could have!). I loved the yoga classes and Lìvia made me feel welcome and safe to practice with the group given modifications. The social activities were super fun and very well organized. Food was amazing! The Gota Dagua team/family took amazing care of me when I dislocated my shoulder and I am so grateful to them. Such a beautiful group of people and I can't wait to come back!

  • 5/5 Andrea M. 9 months ago on Google
    we enjoyed our time at the camp very much! The camp has a small pool, common areas and ping pong table, chill out corners and is only 5min to the beach. You can easily get there quickly by bike. The location is really perfect! The best thing is the people! The whole team is unique!!! We especially liked the joint events and the surf lessons. Alan our surf instructor was phenomenal, we learned so much and always felt comfortable and in good hands. Also the yoga lessons helped me a lot to focus better while surfing and to start the day well. I especially liked doing the yoga outdoors. Livia is one of the best yoga teachers I've had and we highly recommend not to miss the yoga classes!

    I tried surfing for the first time with Gota Dagua and it was one of the happiest weeks of my life. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and enthusiasm by the camp staff, who instantly made me feel like part of their surfing family. Their expertise, dedication, and encouragement were instrumental in my progress throughout the week. The instructors were highly knowledgeable, patient, and skilled at breaking down the fundamentals of surfing, making it easy for me to grasp the techniques and build confidence on the board. Whether we were out in the ocean catching waves or engaging in various activities outside of surfing, there was always a lot of fun. The camp's accommodation was comfortable, clean, and well-maintained. The breakfast provided each morning was delicious and provided the energy needed to start the day off right. In the evenings, we were treated to mouthwatering dinners, which was a delightful way to end our active days. My experience at this surf camp in Portugal surpassed all expectations. It was the beginning of my surf journey, and I am forever grateful for the instructors who ignited my passion for the sport. If you're looking to learn to surf or simply want to indulge in an incredible surfing experience, I highly recommend this surf camp.

    I simply loved my stay at Gota Dagua Surf Camp. The staff was super friendly while remaining professional, making you feel welcome and part of the family from the first moments. On top of the cosy amenities and Surf lessons and material, I had the opportunity to take some Yoga lessons and sightseeing nice spots off the regular "tourist guide". A breath of fresh air and good vibes I would recommend to anyone: THANK YOU Gota Dagua Family!

    Gota de Agua is an amazing place to start surfing or improve your skills. The camp is organized in a way that makes it easier to bond with other guests and the staff, which results in having a lot of friends at the end of the experience. The staff and the people were amazing, very welcoming, and the manager really takes a good care of you. I'll recommend it to everyone to give it a try!Gota de Agua is an amazing place to start surfing or improve your skills.

    If you're looking for a place to meet people, surf with people from all walks of life and party in the evening, you've come to the right place. Ricardo and his friends will welcome you with a smile and are always available to help. The house is very big and the bar in the back is a plus. It was a great stay and I really recommend this place.

  • 5/5 Rahul P. 3 years ago on Google
    I really like visiting the surf camp as often as I can. Sometimes 3 times a year. The camp allows me to unwind and enjoy the beautiful weather of Portugal. There you can learn to surf or surf on your own be renting the equipments. If not then you can just chill out and enjoy the vibes at the camp.The team is really amazing and really professional but still friendly. The surfer guy Luis at the camp makes your stay as comfortable as possible. You can meet travellers around the world and before you even know, you are already the part of the family.

    The week in Gota d‘Agua Surfcamp was amaaaazing. It is 25min. from Lisbon and easiest way to reach is UBER or they can pick you up at the airport. The camp crew is so nice & cool. Luiz spoiled us with delicious dinners & BBQ, we had great suflessons with Gonçalo & Ari und I want to thank Ricardo for the perfect last minute organisation (I booked 1 day in advance) The 4-bed rooms where so nice & clean as well as the bathroom. There is also a nice outdoor chillout area with a bar & pinpong table and a big table where all eat the dinner together. That was a lovely week and I can just recommand Gota d‘Agua Surfcamp.

  • 5/5 Clarissa M. 3 years ago on Google
    This Surfcamp is truly special and the guys who run the thing, do it by heart. This was my first time ever on a surf board and I enjoyed it very much and felt safe. The teachers are absolutely great! The camp is nice and clean, with cozy spots to hang out inside and outside. We either went out for dinner all together or Luiz cooked a wonderful meal for us <3 he truly is the soul of the camp. Thank you Ricardo for the perfect organization and the interesting conversations we had! I will be back :)

    This was my verry first surfing holiday and I really enjoyed the lessons. The teachers are experienced and make you feel comfortable, they are really cool guys. The hostel is cozy and has everything you expect from a hostel. Ricardo and the Gota D'agua gang make you feel like you are part of the family so the vibes are really cool. I might definitly come back for more lessons in the future. Even during covid they manage to do group activities in a responsibble way so you wont get bored and have plenty of fun. Didnt know what to expect when I arrived here, but it was amazing. Thankyou guys, groetjes uit Hollanda!!

    I told Ricardo I would write a review about Gota d'Agua when I am gone but since I am not planning to leave this place soon, there it comes. Review. Very friendly people, very modern, comfortable and clean place, located in a charming area close to the beach. We surf, eat, drink, party and live together here, as a real family. Try it, you will love it. And maybe I will still be here :).

    was there 1 weekend during this summer and from the moment i got there i felt home! They have many activities for the ones who are staying on the hostel . Amazing experience ! The Surf Lessons are dynamic and i got from being a noob to surf like McNamara (eheh). Looking forword to come back!

    Great Surfcamp with super chilled vibes. The inside has been stilishly renovated and makes you feel comfy after long days at the beach. The crew there is always up to make a new memory with their guests. I always like to come back there and I will stay at Gota again!

    I had a great time at Gota d´Agua Surfcamp. You can improve your surfing, meet people from all over the world and enjoy amazing Portuguese food. The camp itself is very cozy and has a lot to offer (beautiful rooms, a nice little garden with a bar, table tennis etc. and a lot of nice activities like BBQ once a week). I loved my stay and miss it already a lot! Would definitely recommend it and will come back for sure! :)

    Portugal's number 1 surf camp by far!!! What an amazing journey; gorgeous boutique accommodation, professional surf, fun skate sessions, delicious food and and amazing Friday night bbqs! These boys think everything through to the finest detail so that people who leave here have lasting friendships and memories! Perfect for solo travellers like me, friends and couples! Hands down my favourite holiday yet! I'll be back soon to embrace the amazing vibes and Luiz amazing hugs!

    What should i say? I booked for 8 nights the full package (Surf lessons, dorm, breakfast/dinner etc.) just to improve my surfing skills and escape the rainy and dark fall season in Germany. In the end I’ve extended my stay for two further nights and If I would able to, I would be still there. It had been a pretty good time. The Hostel is located in a quiet neighbourhood, but you are fast at the beach (10min walking, 5min by bike) or in the centre of Lisbon (20min by Car, Uber = 15€). The hostel itself is a really nice place built out of a lot of love and having a quite good atmosphere. It is clean and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. There are different opportunities for a sit in and relax or to meet other people. But not the location is special what is about the place. It is the people who are living and working there. The owner team consisting out of four friends who are totally friendly and supporting you in any way they can. There are also regular events, like dinners or other stuff, which is quite nice. In addition, there is Luis, who is the good soul of the place and is cooking awesome dishes! But also, the volunteers need to be mentioned who are doing a great job! Regarding the surf school and the lessons, I can say that It had been really helpful to improve my skills. The material is good, modern and in a proper condition. The teachers who are having a lot of knowledge are supporting you individually and giving you the right advise, which I didn’t have experienced so far in my surf career 😉. Even with Corona and in the end of the season it had been a great experience and it could not have been better! Thanks guys and I will be back!

    I have known these guys for over 10 years and I only have good things to say about them and their busienss. They have started it from the scratch and managed to create something unique. If you ever take a lesson with them or stay at one of their surf camps, I can assure of that you will take home great memories you will never forget. They have fantastic BBQ parties and will take you on to some trips to Arriba's and Sesimbra's most exclusive beaches where you will have plenty of fun. If I could have given 10 starts that wouldn't still be fair. Enjoy Portugal 🇵🇹

    I stayed 4 nights at Gota d'Agua and I would have stayed longer if I could. It's so much more than just a surf camp. It's also a place to meet new friends and family from all over the world. Everyone was super nice and the people running the camp really made me feel at home there. Thank you so much everyone! And special thanks to Luiz for the great dinners! I will definitely come back sometime! Wish you all the best!!

    Gota d’Agua is THE place to be in Portugal. You come as a stranger, you leave as a part of the family. All the staff is welcoming, the food is delicious and the barbecue night is as legendary as the tales tell... recommend this one for everyone looking for a place to feel at home.
