Your arrival by plane
The nearest airport is Jerez de la Frontera. You can also fly to Seville (1.5 hours away) or Malaga (2.5 hours away) and then travel to Conil or El Palmar by rental car (see below) or bus (see below). If you don't want to book a rental car, we also offer a transfer from the airport to the surf camp.
Transfer prices:
Jerez de la Frontera: 95€
Seville: 195€
Malaga: 255€
The transfer is operated by a trustworthy cab driver who offers a better price and tries to drive several guests at the same time (if possible). The above prices are per way and will be split between the number of passengers. If there are more than four passengers and the cab driver picks you up in a van, he will charge a small surcharge.
Tip: We recommend using search engines such as skyscanner, check24.de or fluege.de for an initial check of which airlines depart from your desired airport. However, it is often advisable to check the flight details and prices with the airline itself and book directly.
Your journey by rental car
Your surf and yoga vacation in Andalusia will be even more comfortable if you are mobile. This way you are independent on site, can explore the surroundings, visit cities or enjoy the beautiful landscape.
Most of the accommodations in our beach surf camp do not have a parking lot. However, there is a secure parking lot directly opposite the surf camp where you can park for €45 per week. There is also free parking on the street about 150 meters away (next to Restaurant Dolce Vita).
If you have booked your accommodation in a town house, you can park directly at the door. The Oasis Surfcamp also has plenty of parking spaces.
Tip: You can book your rental car via search engines such as doyouspain.com or check24.de. You can often find good offers there. Pay attention to the free kilometers, whether you should return the rental car with a full or empty tank and where you pick up the rental car, directly at the airport or a little further away (with a shuttle). You can also use these search engines to take out insurance directly, which covers the excess. You won't need any more insurance on site. In this case, you will need a credit card with a sufficient limit.
Your journey by bus
For all those who prefer to travel by bus from the airport of their choice, we have researched various bus routes and partial routes here. Please contact us directly if you have any further questions. For general information and current departure times, please have a look at the Transportes Generales Comes website (tgcomes.es).
Arrival Jerez de la Frontera
The journey from Jerez is difficult by public transport. There is no direct connection, you can only travel to Conil by changing at Cádiz or Jerez bus station. From Conil you can take a cab to us. We recommend that you book a transfer or a rental car.
Arrival Seville
From Seville it is relatively easy to get to us by public transport. First take a local bus or cab to the bus station. From there, there is a bus to Conil 4-5 times a day. From Conil you take a cab to us, there is a cab stop right next to the bus station.
Arrival Málaga
Getting to Málaga by public transport is also difficult. There is only one direct bus a day (at 07:30) from Málaga bus station to Conil (avanzabus.com). Otherwise, there is the option of traveling from the airport to Algeciras (avanzabus.com) and then changing to a bus to Conil (tgcomes.es). We recommend a rental car or a carpooling service such as Blablacar.de.

Absolutely fantastic time we had here, great beaches, lovely staff, fantastic food, -- no really, the food is among the best I have ever had, day after day -- very lovely guests and super convenient distances to the surfing.
- Surfing: the whole schedule is centered around the surf times, and for good reason. The staff make sure that the groups always get the best waves of the day, even if that means taking a short drive somewhere else. The equipment is great for learners (I cannot judge the hard tops etc) with clean, relatively new, and fitting wet-suits. In addition to the lessons we can always go for more sessions privately, with access to the equipment.
- Lessons: The teachers are fantastic, their joy is contagious, they made learning super fun. In addition to great individual feedback there are additional offerings in terms of lectures, e.g. on wave theory. The video analysis also really helps to internalize some additional feedback. But again, the teachers are great!
- Food: Great food, always accommodating dietary restrictions, and with great variety. Every meal is different to the last, the meals are flexible if you're almost an hour late it's still usually fine, and they make sure you have enough of all the food you could want. Unlimited coffee, tea and fruit is also a great addition. Beer and wine cost extra, but at basically no markup. But once again: best food, fantastic, 6/5.
- Lodgings: Apartments where you will either be with the group you traveled with, or other guests. Clean, quiet, daily cleaning, everything you really need if you want to retreat during the day, or even cook a meal. WiFi is fast enough to fulfill most use cases.
- Common areas: allow all levels of socializing, provide fantastic views, promote meeting your fellow surfers.
- Yoga: I am not a fan of yoga, so I didn't do any, but the ones who did said is was great.
- Additional services: Photos from your surfing adventures and mishaps are available, massages, additional outings outside of the surf lessons (for example surf-skating) are on offer as well, providing a beautiful well rounded programme for the entire day.
- Vibes: 10/10, chill, social, down-to-earth, helpful.
Overall, better holiday than for example a ski trip in November (and I love skiing too). Come here! -

This has already been our second stay at A-Frame and again it was a super relaxed week and overall a holiday that can‘t be much better. We, a family with a toddler, can ony recommend this place to other families who are looking for a relaxed holiday with yoga, surf and amazing food. The people at A-Frame from surf coach to kitchen staff are just super friendly and you feel very much taken care at all times. Thanks so much to the whole team for another great holiday experience. We‘ll be back for sure.

Pretty much a perfect vacation. I learned to surf, did a lot of yoga, soaked up the beautiful weather, ate delicious food, and met some wonderful people. I don't speak German or Spanish and the staff switched to English to make everything easy for me. El Palmar is a very chill area and from there it's easy to make day trips to Conil, Vejer, and Cádiz.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stayed at A-Frame. Super friendly and helpful staff. We were always received with a smile and welcoming attitude. Shoutout to the kitchen people who were kind, and did an incredible job of serving tasty, healthy, and varied food that we all loved. We came with three small children and they all had a great time - surf lessons, board games, ping-pong table among other fun activities.
The house was spacious, well-kept, and clean. Would definitely stay there again if visiting El Palmar in the future.
