Flying to Lisbon is the easiest way to get to the Villa.
From Lisbon (Sete Rios bus station) there are daily direct buses to and from Aljezur (3.5h ride). You can find the times and schedules and book your ticket on the Rede Expressos website.
To catch the bus from Lisbon comfortably, we recommend you land in Lisbon before 14:00 on arrival day and fly out of Lisbon after 16:00 on departure day. From the Aljezur bus station, transfer to the Villa is included in every package.
If you are flying to Faro Airport, you can either reach Aljezur by bus (no direct buses available) or book a private transfer from/to Faro Airport with Yellowfish.
We always recommend to rent your own car if you'd like more flexibility to explore the Algarve during your week: Rentalcars.com.
The Villa is located in the municipality of Aljezur, in Vale da Telha– a short drive from Monte Clerigo beach.

During this surf week you will have the chance to jon extra activities:
The Algarve surf spots were the last to be discovered in Europe and although it doesn’t contain the classic reefs of central Portugal, the potential for good, uncrowded waves is high.
Average wintertime swells on the west coast are around 8-10ft, with 12-15ft maximums, whilst summer rarely goes flat and regularly gets up to overhead.
The south coast offers perfect shelter with offshore winds and a filtered swell although it is usually flat in summer. Tides vary from 4-12ft.
Recommended wetsuit
3/2mm or 4/3mm - Wetsuit is included in the surf lessons!
Avg. water temperature
19-20°C in Summer.
Crowd factor
Medium crowd. Some of the best beginner spots (Arrifana) might get crowded in summer.
