Surf camp Andalusia: Your perfect surf vacation on Spain's coast

Our surf camp in Andalusia is located directly on the beach of El Palmar. This 8 km long beach break is our home surf spot. The waves are quite consistent and perfect for all surfing levels. Beginners can practise and good surfers can hone their technique. As the beach is really long, there is always a lonely peak to surf. There are no rocks or currents. So it's also ideal for families with children.

In addition to the ideal surfing conditions, Andalusia also has a lot to offer culturally. After a day on the board, you can relax on the beach or immerse yourself in the history and vibrant heritage of the region. The architecture of the white villages, flamenco music, tapas bars and the relaxed, hospitable atmosphere make a surfing vacation in Andalusia a unique experience. The Andalusian culture, combined with the perfect surfing conditions, makes the region one of the best surfing destinations in Europe.

A vacation at the A-Frame surf camp in Andalusia therefore not only offers first-class waves and fantastic beaches, but also the opportunity to immerse yourself in one of Spain's most fascinating regions.

The combination of surfing and yoga creates a wonderful harmony. It is not only perfect for the body, but also beneficial for the mind. That's why we love being able to offer you both: Surf lessons and yoga classes.

In the A-Frame Yoga & surf camp, you can spontaneously come to rest and ground yourself in an open yoga class after surfing. Whether you are a yoga beginner or want to master advanced asanas, you will find the right balance of relaxation and strengthening here.

Yoga retreats allow you to focus on yoga and meditation for an entire week. There are various retreats such as our own A-Frame Yoga Retreat, but also other offers such as surf & yoga retreats, pottery & yoga, coaching & yoga, retreats just for women or the popular Be You Selflove Retreat. We are always changing the retreats, so take a look at our packages.

The A-Frame surf camp is a wonderful place for families. We have two children ourselves and are therefore well prepared for families. We know from our own experience what families want. That's why we have everything you need for a relaxed family vacation: cribs, high chairs, bicycles (some with child seats), a playroom for bad weather days (which are rare) and delicious food that everyone will enjoy. As parents, you don't have to cook, but can spoil yourselves for once.

Here you and your family live so close to the sea that you can be on the beach with the children in two minutes. Forgot your sunscreen or sand toys? No problem, you can just grab them quickly. No driving involved.
If you stay at the Oasis Camp, you can look forward to your own house with garden. This way, you'll be among yourselves when you want to retreat and enjoy some family time. Some houses also have a small pool, so you can splash around and dive to your heart's content.

While the children attend age-appropriate surf courses, you adults can either gain your own surfing experience, take part in yoga classes or simply relax and unwind. We also offer childcare during the surf lessons. So you parents can surf together and the kids have a great time.

The A-Frame family weeks are particularly popular. These take place several times a year. At this time of year, we are almost exclusively visited by families. It's teeming with children and teenagers, there's lots of laughter and new friendships are made. Friends from the previous year often meet up with us again. A family surfing vacation is an experience that creates unforgettable memories and creates bonds.

In our surf camp in Andalusia, we attach great importance to a holistic vacation experience. That's why we not only attach great importance to excellent surf lessons and yoga classes, but also to fantastic food. As a guest, you will enjoy healthy, wholesome meals prepared with fresh ingredients. 

In the morning, you will be spoilt for choice: mix your own muesli, avocado bread, egg, chia pudding or would you prefer a typical Spanish tomato toast? We come up with something new every day to make breakfast nutritious and varied.

At lunchtime, there is a lunch buffet with dessert: Buddha bowls, wraps and Spanish tortillas are just three of many delicious dishes. Let yourself be surprised.

In the evening, our chefs will spoil you with a 3-course dinner. Salad or soup as a starter, followed by a sophisticated main course and then a sweet dessert. At the beach camp, you eat with a sea view. There's simply no better way to end the day. Once a week we organize a big BBQ with a huge buffet. There are numerous salads, grilled pineapple, burgers (also vegetarian) and delicious bread.
