This autumn, A-Frame turns 20!
That’s 20 years of surf checks at sunrise, yoga sessions with the sound of the ocean in the background, shared meals around long wooden tables and friendships forged barefoot and sun-kissed.
We’ve always believed in creating a space that feels more like a home away from home. A place where guests become friends and friends return again and again.
To celebrate this milestone, we’re launching two special offers designed to make it even easier (and even more rewarding) to join us.
Whether you’ve been part of the journey or are thinking about making your first visit, we’d love to welcome you this autumn!
Promo #1: Bring a friend and get 10% off
Promo #1: Bring a friend and get 10% off
Because good vibes are better shared!
If you’ve ever told someone about your trip to A-Frame, whether it's the morning surf, the incredible food, the quiet moments under the stars, we want to thank you.
This autumn, we’re giving you the chance to bring someone new and BOTH save 10%.
Here’s how it works:
You’ve been to A-Frame before? Amazing
You bring someone who hasn’t? Even better
You both book together? You each get 10% off
How to get your code
This offer is just for returning guests, so if that’s you, simply:
Write “FRIEND10” in the notes section of your checkout page… easy!
Use that code when you book with your friend and the discount applies to both of you.
It’s valid on all surf, yoga and accommodation packages… whichever you prefer!
When it’s valid
Just like the flexible arrival offer below, our Bring a Friend promotion runs from September 13 to November 29, 2025 – the full anniversary season.
Promo #2: Enjoy flexible arrival times
Because life doesn’t always run Saturday to Saturday!
If you’ve stayed with us before, you probably know that most packages typically run from Saturday to Saturday.
That rhythm works well for many, but not everyone.
So for our 20th anniversary, we’re doing something new.
From September 13 to November 29, 2025, we’re ditching fixed arrival days.
You can now arrive any day of the week, stay for as many nights as you’d like (minimum 5) and tailor your trip around your real life, not a calendar constraint.
This change is especially helpful for families, digital nomads or anyone juggling school holidays, flight prices or spontaneous plans.
What’s flexible now
Arrival and departure days: Come and go when it suits you
Stay length: 5 nights, 9 nights, 13 nights? You choose
Early arrivals: Luggage storage, coffee, surfboards all available from the moment you land
Late checkouts: Room checkout by 10:30 am, but surfboards and wetsuits are yours until 6:00 pm
What stays the same
Room ready from 2:00 pm
Legendary sunsets, soul-soothing yoga and all the good surf vibes
Why we’re doing this
We’ve heard from so many of you that fixed dates can make planning tricky, especially with kids or work or, well, life. So we’re opening things up. No gimmicks, no catches. Just more freedom to travel your way!
Ready to celebrate with us?
We’d love to have you with us this autumn. Whether it’s your first time or your tenth, this season is special. And we want you to be part of it.
Flexible travel. Good company. More Freedom. More memories.
Let’s make this 20th year our most joyful yet.

Jerez de la Frontera is the closest airport, about 50 minutes away by car.
The cheapest and easiest route is usually flying into Jerez (XRY), Seville (SVQ) or Málaga (AGP) with budget airlines like Ryanair, Eurowings, Vueling or easyJet. From there, it’s a beautiful drive to El Palmar (between 50 minutes and 3 hours depending on where you fly into).
We highly recommend it. Public transport to El Palmar is limited and a rental car makes arrival smoother and your stay more flexible. You’ll have easy access to beaches, shops and nearby towns.
Yes. We offer transfers to and from Jerez, Seville and Málaga airports. It’s an easy and relaxed way to reach El Palmar, especially if you don’t plan to rent a car.
Jerez is about 50 minutes by car, Seville around 2 hours and Málaga roughly 3 hours. All three airports are well connected to major cities in German-speaking countries.
Fly into Jerez, Seville or Málaga. From there, renting a car is the most convenient way to reach El Palmar, especially if you’re bringing surf gear. It also gives you the freedom to explore the coast.
Yes. Check-in starts at 2:00 pm but if you arrive earlier, you’re welcome to relax at the camp, enjoy a coffee and store your luggage until your room is ready.
