    Amazing location. We stayed at the hotel for a wedding for three nights. Dinh and the crew were amazing and made the weekend unforgettable. We slept in one of the spacious glamping tents, which feature a very comfortable bed, clean and hot shower and toilet. The view of the rolling hills and ocean makes you feel super relaxed. Perfect spot to discover the coast of Portugal.

    Such an amazing place. Spent a week at the surf house and had a great time. Enjoyed every second- delicious food, fun activities and a great relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend the camp, I’ll be back!

    Beautiful mansion surrounded by nature. It's a pleasure to join the yoga lessons with the sound of the birds and the breathaking landscape around. If you decide to join the surf lessons, normally they take place in Praia grande, a really nice beach break 4 km from the house. Perfect place to relax and to connect with yourself ❤️❤️❤️

    We booked it last minute and I glad we did! The place looks exactly like in the pictures so that was great for our expectations, The bed is really comfy also the shower in the tent, The only thing that bothered us a bit was a little mold on the fabric of the tent, I guess it’s because the humidity, But overall we really enjoyed our stay, The breakfast is delicious and you can pay extra for lunch and dinner that is really healthy and delicious, the stuff were super nice and the place was really just awesome so we definitely come back again! One more thing that not really the hotel issue but the location is rather far from the city center, and so there is no coffee or supermarkets close by walk, I highly recommend on renting a vehicle for the comfort, although there is Uber and Bolt but sometimes it takes them a long time to arrive or they charge you pretty high

    I came by myself for a long weekend just to disconnect and it was perfect.The house is clean, the food is great, the volunteers took us out on my last night for beautiful beach picnic with sunset. And Dinh, the manager, knows everyone by name. It was a perfect experience. Super welcoming ambiance. Cant wait to come back.

    Go and stay at this surf camp!! We were a group of 9 people, had some expectations that it might turn out to be a good holiday but our experience was beyond all expectations! Everything pretty much looks like the pictures, manager Dinh does everything to make your stay the best possible and let’s not forget about the food, which was amazing, lots of veggie and vegan options and always super fresh. You need a car if you would like to go anywhere but we were happy with surfing and doing some of the activities offered by the camp. Overall, we had the best time and we would like to come back to surf the waves there and stay at this beautiful place!!

    We just had our dream wedding at the beautiful Dream Sea house ❤️. It exceeded our expectations. Dinh is a great host, very warm, friendly and professional. Without him it wouldn’t be the same. Every member of the crew was friendly and helpful and the food by the two chefs was amazing. Our wedding guests couldn’t shut up about it. Ignacia makes incredible vegan food and Mike grills the best entrecôte’s on the bbq. Even when there is no wedding but just a regular night at the house, they will serve a 3-course menu of high quality, rich in taste and full of colours. The house itself is nicely decorated with plants and wooded furniture. After a surfing session, a session in the sauna and dip in the pool is all you need. Dream Sea is located in the lush green hills with view on the Castle of Sintra. Local restaurants and a small supermarket is in walking distance. We had a car that allowed us to explore the area. Which was nice, because there is a lot to see. Like the hikes along the cliffs of Cabo do Roca, a trip to surf village Ericeira, and the mysterious castles of Sintra. The village is small, but has everything you need. What I like about this surf camp is that it is not a typical hostel with drunk teenagers and uncomfortable bunk beds. Instead, it is comfortable, with healthy food, sauna, couches to read a book on, and a nice vibe. Appropriate for a 33 y/o like me ;). The only downside is that the house is a bit noisy and sleeping next to the shared toilet meant that we woke up early. Thanks a lot for everything! I am already planning my next trip to Dream Sea :)

    Great tents, very friendly crew, great beach with a fantastic surf teacher Ivan. Great dinners. Fair pricing. The main house is quite old and needs some renovation soon.

    I went there few weeks ago with my girlfriend and was amazing. We stayed for one week, the staff of the house was very kind, the dinners at night wonderful, the sunsets and the nature that there is around i beautiful aswell, is in a really good a quiet place. The surf teacher was very kind and funny too. I just had a pretty week with my girlfriend, did some surf lessons, yoga, and chill for a full week. I recommened to come to anyone to wants to see sintra and their beautiful beaches, and want to come to improve their surfing. Thanks a lot for everything guys.

    Best Surfhouse! If you are looking for a chill and fun surf holiday with the most amazing stuff ever then this is the place to be. The surf instructor provides you with everything you need to improve your surf skills independent of your level. The house is very clean and the breakfast and dinner are by far the best I've had in a surfhouse. Extra bonus is the spa and that you can take mountain bikes and skateboards to cruse around the area. Everybody is super friendly and concerned so that you always feel welcome. What was impressive is how flexible they were when it came to transport to and from the different beaches or making excursions to sintra, so definitely recommend checking it out! It was a great stay !!

    Great surf house with even greater staff and atmosphere 10min from the beach away. A big plus is the calm surrounding nature and the amazing food served every day.

    An absolutely delightful place for a chill surfing holiday! They will listen to your individual needs to enjoy a good surfing experience and offer good quality surfing lessons. The surfhouse is beautiful and has everything you need to relax after a day at the beach. Me and my friend stayed in a comfortable twin room with our own bathroom. We liked the fact that the age of most of the guests is somewhat older (around 25-35) than in the most surfcamps. But the surfhouse is the most special because of the kind staff, yoga- and surfinstructors, with an inhouse chef that cooks wonderful and delicious meals. Thank you for the amazing time!

    I stayed for a week of surfing and yoga, and had a very mixed experience. + Friendly staff + Outstanding food, esp. vegi/vegan option + Chill vibe, can be quite at times - Facilities are not well maintained (pool and hottub not accessible, doors dont close properly, smelly bathroom in downstairs room) - Surf lessons are super short. We never spent more than one hour in the water - Most wetsuits are stored outside and will be wet in the morning if it rains - Mixed set of instructors, communication could be better Overall i would not come back and cannot recommend the place. I came here because i had an amazing time with dreamsea on Nicaragua. Unfortunately this place does not life up to the same standards.

    I had a fantastic time at the Dreamsea Surf House where my friends celebrated their wedding! Dinh and his staff truly go above and beyond to ensure everyone's happiness. I personally experienced their dedication when I had a late check-in after dinner, and they went out of their way to provide me with a warm meal long after everyone else had finished dining. The food consistently exceeded my expectations, and I was thrilled to find plenty of vegan options, which I greatly appreciated. I stayed in a very cosy glamping tent, complete with its own toilet and shower. Additionally, the amenities like the pool and sauna were a delightful bonus. All in all, I will definitely be back when I visit Portugal again.

    Dreamsea Surf House exceeded all my expectations! The warmth of the staff, coupled with incredible food and top-notch surf and yoga classes, made my stay truly unforgettable. The attention to detail and commitment to creating a positive experience shine through. I highly recommend Dreamsea Surf House for anyone looking for a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure by the beautiful Portuguese coast

    Hi I'm very much sorry to say that we had a very unpleasant experience at this property... Bad dream sea... We have checked in at 22:30 and after 1 hour they couldn't fix the shower and we didn't have hot water to shower.. For an hour we were sitting on the bed waiting for the manager to fix it... We were embarrassed with the situation, waiting and waiting for the hot shower... Since he couldn't offer us a hot shower after an hour and since it was already very late at night and we were extremely tired and very much disappointed with the hotel and the manager who gave us stupid excuses and didn't even bother to apologise for the situation... He didn't have a solution! We couldn't believe it and it never happened to us before but we had to leave the hotel around midnight.. Without shower and without alternative room... What a disappointment what a disgrace. Also the hotel is far from expectations it's not even close to the pictures they publish...

    It was such a great experience! We have been to other dream seas (and other surf camps, too) but this is by far the best one! Chill vibes (thanks to Dinh, the manager, which makes the management of the house seem so easy and relaxed - although it is probably not!), AMAZING food (the cook is just waw), great location with a pool and sauna, great surf teacher (Ivan, the best!), and great people. Don’t go there if you are looking for a place where to party hard, but absolutely go there if you want your vacation to be about sport, relax, good food and an overall healthy, green environment. All in all a wonderful experience! Thank you all for making it possible!

    Just finished what seems to be one of my best holidays :) The house and location are absolutely amazing - an oasis in a middle of a green field, but the staff is indeed what makes it golden. The manager Dean is just the best - so friendly and kind yet always being super organized and ready to help. He really made us guests feel like we are taken care of in the best way possible. I think it was the first place I travelled where I didn't need to stress about planning or changing my schedule because he was there to help, one step ahead. I really don't know how he does it to be so friendly and relaxed and yet so organized at the same time :) Then, the food cooked by Mike was incredible, we had a different culinary experience every evening which made it so easy to come together with the other guests as a family in the evenings around the table. I wanted to also experience some food in the local restaurants but ended up abandoning all other plans just to see what he cooks next. The surf and yoga instructors were super nice as well, even offering personalized tips which really helps for beginners like myself. And the rest of the staff which I had the pleasure to meet were also super friendly and helpful. I travelled alone and I really felt like I was amongst friends the whole time and this comes from how the house is managed. A big and warm thank you and would definitely come again! <3

    What an incredible and unexpected experience! We booked our stay on the same day, just to get out of town and relax with our dogs. We were incredibly well received, the whole staff is amazing and very eager to help and make you happy! Even though there's a community vibe in the whole place, it's very easy to get privacy and quiteness. If you're a dog owner and want to spend some quality time with your dogs, this is the place to go ! We stayed in a tent, very well equipped, modern bathroom and shower, great bed and linens. It was raining a lot during our stay and even still it was very comfortable to stay inside the tent. Amazing food as well ! We just loved everything ! We'll be back for sure !

    The best thing about this house is the food prepared by Felipe and team, who prepare super good breakfast, lunch and dinner every day. Apart from that, the house is seriously mismanaged. First, I tried to arrange the airport pickup (which we paid €45 for) the week before going. I couldn't reach anyone in the house even though I called three different numbers dozens of times, sent emails to two different accounts and reached out on facebook and instagram. Eventually I got a hold of someone and managed to arrange a pick up the evening before our arrival. When we arrived at the house, no employee was to be seen until eventually Felipe (the chef) saw us and showed us to our tent. We found out that the people in the other tents had booked rooms in the house but were "upgraded" to the tents because the manager had accidentally double booked the house (nice little surprise). The sauna is really aged (with partly broken benches inside) and we were able to use it once before it broke down completely. The manager promised to fix it the next day, and then the next day, then the next day, etc. but never did; the jacuzzi was broken also and looked like they are not even trying to fix it. One morning we didn't have water in the tents anymore, i.e. shower, toilet and sink were unusable. No one explained what happened, whether they were working on it or offered alternatives (e.g. where could we shower now?). We had to figure it out ourselves and for a few days I just showered in a random unlocked bathroom that belonged to another room. The team around Björn (who is amazing) tried their best to fix it and eventually managed a workaround so that we could actually use the bathrooms in the tent. But that workaround broke down again every other day. One time we learned that our surf session the next day was moved from 3pm to 11am through a comment made by the external yoga teacher. Never mind anyone in the house sharing that rather crucial information with us. Just shows you how little communication there is between management and guests. Also, as it is getting colder outside, the yoga is done in the dining hall. The floor of that room is covered in sand and food crumbs and I have not once seen anyone clean it (or the tables). This is the floor on which you can do yoga, on mats that I believe also are never cleaned. Not so pleasant. I still had a fun time there due to some team members (Björn, Felipe and team) and by having a really nice group of guests around us. But details matter, especially if you try to sell this house as a premium camp. And the details failed us this week, mostly due to management.

    Dreamsea is a great place. The House is amazing, the staff lovely and especially Felipe, the chef, is like a god in the kitchen. He litraly makes the good spirit of the house and cookes like heaven on earth. Veggi, amazing BBQ, Sushi and a lot more. The house did have a problem with hot water at the beginning, but they fixed it as quick as possibile and hot showers where back. The Place is good for surfing and yoga. I stayed here for one week at an yoga retreat. I will definately come back soon :) thanks to all the amazing staff, especially Felipe. It was such a pleasure to stay here, conect with others, practise yoga and surf. Thank you :)

    We spent only one night but it was very special with Live music and a great family atmosphere. We slept in the house and the room was very nice and cleaned. Breakfast was also very good. We will come back for a longer stay to also enjoy the different activities. Thank you to Felipe and all the staff!

    We stayed at the Surfhouse for a week. The house has a very special charm. The food is fantastic and the surf lessons are very good. They try to accommodate all requests. There are currently a few shortcomings, we talked about them on site and they are known. A container with new furniture and decoration will probably arrive this week. You are aware of things and you are in the process of fixing them little by little. For us it was completely ok. We had a mega time with great people. It's wonderful that we always eat together, it creates a great community. We would like to thank the team on site.

    I stayed here for a week for a yoga retreat and it was just amazing. The house is beautiful and the whole staff super nice and caring, it feels a bit like family abroad. Especially the chef and manager Felipe made it special. He made the best breakfast and outdid himself every night at dinner. From sushi to barbecue and delicious vegetarian and vegan food - it was just perfect. If you need something to make your stay special, don't hesitate to ask, they will surely help you. I even ended up staying an extra night because I liked it so much. I definitely recommend this place and will be back! Big Thank you to the whole Dreamsea Team!
