Summary

Jump in our wonderful AKTION Ericeira Surf Hostel and Visit the 1st Surfing Reserve in Europe.

Our Hostel is located right at the top of Rua das Lombas with a severely privileged view over the village and the ocean, just a 4 minute walk from one of the best beaches in Portugal.

Recharge your batteries while enjoying the portuguese sun in our swimming pool, touching the sand at the beach, or exploring the beautiful city of Ericeira. Take the opportunity to lose yourself (only figuratively) in the dense Sintra and Mafra woods and castles.

Our brand new building and facilities will offer you the best, most complete experience, including an outdoor swimming pool and a skateboard ramp, our innovative PODS to sleep outside, just as well as our fully equipped kitchen for your best cooking creations. And do not worry about shower queues – all our dorms and private rooms have private facilities for your very own comfort.

And if you are travelling with your family or group of friends you may also choose one of our apartments fully equipped.

Feeling like taking the dust off your body? Follow our recommendations and take a surf lesson, a bike ride, or a trekking tour. Would you rather be quiet and mindful? Take a yoga class! Ask our amazing staff what to do if you feel indecisive, and choose from our complete list of activities.

Do not forget to thank and say goodbye to the sun every twilight in our spacious terrace. Make some new friends with a portuguese beer from our bar in your hand, and the sizzling sound of our DIY barbecue in the background. Feeling lazy instead? Stay indoors and try your best at foosball or beer pong tables, or some video and board games instead. We challenge you to be the best.

If you are feeling like relaxing and catching some waves, do not look any further, AKTION Ericeira is ready to welcome you all year round. Hope to meet you soon!

This reviewer told us:
Aktion Ericeira Surf Hostel was just completely beyond our expectations! The rooms are huge, the beds are super comfy and each room has its own bathroom! The staff was super nice and was always ready to help with whatever we needed. But of course, the best part of our stay was at the end of the day, chilling out in the pool (yes, they have a pool, how crazy is that?) and watching the beautiful sunset holding a caipirinha! ;)
Surfing:
The surfing lessons were so much fun! The instructor was super nice and careful with all of us which made us feel really safe since this was our first time surfing. LOVED IT!
Other (e.g. surroundings, nightlife etc.):
The hostel was just one short walk away from the beautiful village of Ericeira that had so much to do and see!
Highly recommended. Will definitely come back!★★★★★★★★★☆

This reviewer told us:
This hostel is new, sparkling clean, spacious with great design and a beautiful view. The beds were cosy and rooms had nice little details like individual bed light, plugs and lockers. The common areas were nicely laid out, with great spots to sit outside in the sunshine or by the pool. There was also a well stocked shop to buy drinks and snacks and a lovely breakfast with toast/cake/cereal/ fruit and juices/coffee/tea.
Surfing:
Great!
Other (e.g. surroundings, nightlife etc.):
The best part was the staff, they were super friendly and went out of their way to take care of me, even picking me up from the station when I couldn’t get a taxi. I felt at home there and really enjoyed my stay. Highly recommended. Will definitely come back!
Superb!★★★★★★★★★★

This reviewer told us:
My experience in Portugal was full of “pinch me, this can’t be real” moments. I never expected that arriving at a hostel in a surf town would also inspire that feeling. The Aktion in Ericeira is the most mind blowing hostel I’ve ever stayed at. It feels more like being at a modern luxury resort.
Other (e.g. surroundings, nightlife etc.):
The staff and volunteers were chill, kind, and friendly. The view is great. The building, rooms and space in general are really cool and clean. Everything about this hostel is impressive. I’d recommend!
Amazing Hostel!!!★★★★★★★★★★
