Welcome to the Nexo Surfcamp situated in the Surf Mecca El Palmar in Costa de la Luz, Andalusia, the sunny South of Spain. We invite you to enjoy unforgettable holidays full of surfing, good vibes, new friendships, beach time, excellent food and a lot of relax in our Surf House.
Location
NEXO Surfhouse is located in El Palmar, Cádiz; the most renowned surfing spot in Andalusia. Kilometers of magical sandy beaches offer perfect surfing conditions for more than 300 sunny days every year. Five minutes from the beach to relax, disconnect, breathe and enjoy the beautiful coastline.
Surf and Yoga
Surfing and Yoga are activities that complement one another perfectly. Surfing requires three things: a clear mind, concentration and a flexible, strong body. Yoga develops each of these qualities in equal measure and ensures your continued growth as a surfer.
Facilities
The Surfhouse offers comfortable private rooms with bathroom, a beautifully kept garden and spacious open sided restaurant and lounge building. Our Surf School houses a full range of boards and wetsuits to suit everyone’s needs and abilities just a short walk from the beach. Yoga classes are held in a shady garden grove. Perfect for your surf trip, yoga retreat or active summer holidays.
Gastronomy
It is at the heart of what NEXO Surfhouse has to offer. Our professional kitchen is operated by highly regarded chefs who design balanced menus using the highest quality local and seasonal ingredients. Cadiz produces food from the sea and the mountains and our chefs delight in bringing these flavours together in their dishes.
Ambiente
Different nationalities with similar concerns of sport, nature and the will to enjoy the waves, the beach and the sunny weather. Soak up the relaxed, happy atmosphere with friends, family or coming by your own to meet people to enjoy a home away from home. This is a unique place, and many of our guests return time and again.
Big Family
From the moment you arrive, you will feel part of the NEXO community meeting people like you, feeling like home. Because after all, this is our home.
Features
The surf school has its own building, also with space to shower and change before and after each surf session. Surfers meeting and groups are made according to surfing level. Then, the surf instructors will ask you what skills you want to improve and if you have any fears or goals in mind. Wetsuit and surfboards are assigned to use during the whole stay, whenever wished. And for intermediate and experience surfers, there is a wide quiver of NEXO Surfboards to be used in the test center.
The timing of the classes is decided according to the tide, wind conditions and the beach we will choose and you can check it in the daily plan, with the rest of activities, during dinner of the previous day. Surf classes last for 2h and are given in small groups of 6 people each, two theory classes and one video analysis session are also provided along one week, to better understand the ocean, the area where we are and check everyone’s improvements along the way. And as NEXO Surfhouse is only 300m from the beach, there we go walking with the ocean view in the horizon.
YOGA
When we practice Yoga before surfing, we focus on Asanas, strengthening the mind and body in preparation for the surf lesson; building muscle strength is important when facing the challenge of larger waves. Surfing can be tough sometimes. After surfing, our Yoga sessions focus on stretching and relaxing the body and mind. Meditation sessions and massages are also available to book.
Yoga sessions suitable to all are offered every day, and even when there are five classes included in one week package, you can take extra classes for a bit more. The 75min yoga classes are given in the outdoor yoga platform or, if it is getting chilly, in the big yoga house, both of them surrounded by the garden. All material is provided, with mattress, blocks, bolsters, belts and blankets.
MASSAGES
For the pleasure of having a professional relaxed massage or for taking care of those muscle little pains after some surf and yoga sessions, taking care of yourself with a massage is always a good option. There is a wooden cottage in the garden offering the needed privacy and comfort you need.
If you choose the Wellness package, you will enjoy a 45min massage, with natural essences and personalized oils, working on your back and neck with craniosacral technique and your chakras rebalancing with magnets. And everyone can always get a 30min massage of certain body areas or a complete massage of 60min for general relaxation.
THE VIBE
Your holidays at NEXO Surfhouse are about enjoying the beach, surfing, practicing yoga, healthy and tasty meals and disconnection. You will meet people alike of different nationalities and ages, even when the range is between 30 and 45 years old.
Our large garden space offers plenty of room for everyone to find a quiet spot in a hammock with garden views or to sit and chat in a group with family and friends over a cold drink from the honesty bar. Our spacious lounge is where we have fun: talks, guitars, ukuleles, singing, board games, films and surf documentaries are just some of the activities we arrange to amuse ourselves. Guests can learn to walk the ‘Slack-line’, improve their balance on the ‘Indorboard’, play Table Tennis, Volleyball, or Badminton.
THE SURROUNDINGS
