ACCOMMODATION AND CATERING

ACCOMMODATION TYPES

There are a few options for accommodation at the SoulSurfcamp: the cozy double bedroom with a balcony and beautiful views of the ocean, the coast and of course the waves in the morning.

The other options are our rooms to fit 4 or 6 people, which also offer a beautiful view and are a great place to meet new people and share experiences.

The rooms are equipped with single, double and bunk beds, modern furniture and WiFi.
You‘ll find a music station in your room and a brochure about Peniche and all the attractions around the fishing village.

CATERING

When you get up in the morning, a freshly prepared breakfast is already waiting for you. After an adventurous day on the water, we‘ll serve a delicious dinner.

You‘ll start your day with a balanced breakfast, which offers everything you can think of. There is bread and buns from the local bakery, as well as jam, chocolate cream, sausages and cheese. Fresh fruits and vegetables, cereal and yoghurt will help you to get ready for your day on the water.

For lunch we recommend one of the many great bistros at the beach of Baleal, which will provide you with tasty snacks and lunch meals.

Dinner at the Surfcamp is freshly prepared every night, starting with an appetizer like a salad or soup, followed by a healthy delicious main dish.

Once a week we‘ll barbecue on the deck and serve fish, steaks, sausages and vegetables.

Activities and facilities

Trips and Explorations: A popular part of your SoulSurf program are the different trips we make.

One of the must-see places in Portugal is its capital Lisbon. A beautiful city with an interesting history and many sights. During this full-day excursion we‘ll show you all the important things, such as the Cable Cars, the famous elevator (Elevador de Santa Justa) and the district of Barrio Alto. Let‘s discover Lisbon!

Another highlight is the trip to the Buddha Eden about 30 km from the surfcamp. There you‘ll find all kinds of Buddhas in different shapes and sizes. Also, you‘ll have the opportunity to participate in a wine tasting.

All in all this trip takes about 3 to 4 hours, which leaves you enough time to start off your day in the water!
Of course the area around Peniche and the village itself are worth exploring as well! We offer you a 2 hour trip to the small town and around the peninsula to discover the coves and cliffs.

Action and Adventure: For those of you who need a little more action and adrenalin in the water we offer kitesurfing lessons. You‘ll get a great insight into this exciting sport and who knows…maybe you‘ll find it to be your new favorite hobby! The course takes about 3 hours including theory lessons and practice. The equipment is provided by the SoulSurfcamp.

The water is a great place for a variety of activities! For instance our SUP-tours (stand-up paddle): on broad surfboards with a long paddle at hand, cruising across the ocean and exploring the beautiful coast around Peniche and Baleal. The tour takes about 2.5 hours and includes transportation (if necessary) and the equipment.

If you‘re familiar with the SUP- boards you can always just rent the material and go on a tour on your own.
You need a little break from the water? No problem- there is a fun go-kart track not far from our camp, where you can feed you need for speed (for either 15 or 30 min)! The whole trip takes about 1.5 hours including transportation.
The hilly area around Peniche offers great fun for longboarding! You can rent longboards at the surfcamp and have a great time with your friends exploring the neighborhood or go on a tour with one of our guides. We‘ll take you to less frequented routes around the area and teach you how to free ride. The tour takes about 3 hours.

We offer a shuttle service to pick you up from the airport (Lisbon or Porto). The price is fixed for each way; if you travel with your friends, it‘s cheaper.
