Verdemar is a lovingly restored family retreat born in 1989. It’s located among old cork oaks on the gentle slopes above Cercal do Alentejo and just 25 minutes from Milfontes and Porto Covo.
Each guest room has a unique character and opens onto a terrace or garden, offering calm and cosy privacy. Here you can expect lazy comfort: a dip in the pool after surfing, a game’s night or curling up with a book from the library…
Beyond the gates, the countryside surroundings open into olive groves, rice fields, coastal trails and marble‑stone villages. There’s plenty of Alentejo landscapes to explore before or after a surf session!
Set in nature. Here, it’s all about calm, comfort and authenticity… Just the way we like it.
Here’s how it works:
Every room includes:
Wild beaches. No crowds. Just you, your board, the ocean and the natural beauty of the Alentejo coastline….
We’ll be surfing at Praia do Malhão and Praia das Furnas, and both offer clean conditions, mellow peaks and plenty of room to move, perfect for all experience levels.
If surf travel in Alentejo has been on your mind, this is where it all clicks: peaceful, natural and made for a real connection with the ocean.
Life moves differently here… Slower, softer and more grounded in the rhythm of nature.
At SurfMilfontes, that way of living shapes everything we do: from how we teach, to how we eat, to how we share time with others. That’s why this isn’t just another surf vacation in Alentejo… It’s a full-body reset built on presence, community and good energy.
Forget crowded classes and rushed lessons.
Our surf course is designed to help you really grow, no matter your starting point!
With a 4:1 student-to-instructor ratio, every wave is a chance to get better. What can we promise?
Our surf school in Alentejo gives you all the space you need to improve without pressure, whether you’re catching your first green wave or working on your turns.
So no matter your surf level, we’ll meet you where you’re at.
At the end of each day, you’ll gather around a table that feels like home…
At Verdemar, Tomás and Duarte cook the way people used to: with time, care and whatever’s fresh from the garden or just down the road. Some nights it’s slow-roasted meat. Other times, a veggie dish that tastes like the season. Always thoughtful. Always rooted in local cuisine and flavours that celebrate the Alentejo’s culinary soul.
In this countryhouse, all meals are shared… Sometimes on the terrace under the stars. Other times by the fire with a glass of Portuguese wine. There’s conversation, laughter and that feeling of being exactly where you’re meant to be.
Is this surf camp appropriate for a beginner?
Absolutely! Our instructors take time with each student, offering coaching and encouragement, free of pressure. You’ll learn at your own pace, with the right support.
Can I join solo?
Definitely. Many guests come on their own and often leave with a bunch of new friends. The energy is relaxing, inclusive and easy to feel part of.
What if I have any food restrictions or allergies?
No worries at all. Verdemar’s kitchen is flexible and welcoming. After booking, we’ll send you a form where you can let us know about any dietary needs.
What airport should I fly to?
You can fly into Lisbon or Faro. Both airports are around 2.5 to 3 hours away from the camp by car or shuttle.
How do I get to Vila Nova de Milfontes?

Does the Alentejo region have good surf?
