The surf spots around Aljezur are considered the most consistent waves in the Algarve.  The sandy beaches of Arrifana, Monte Clérigo & Amoreira are each laid out at different angles on the west coast of Portugal. Depending on the swell, wind direction & tides, we head for the most suitable surf spot of the day for your surf level. If the waves are too high on the entire west coast, there is also the possibility to move to the south coast of the Algarve to guarantee the best chances of good waves.

Our Mountaintop Yoga Deck is located at the highest point of our land with sweeping views over the the hills of the Algarve.

Your way to Habitat Algarve

Shuttle prices from Faro vary according to season. The price per vehicle per way starts at 120 Euros and can be split up to 4 people. For arrivals at Lisbon Airport we strongly recommend to hire a car or to take the bus due to high shuttle costs.

Created to Inspire

After Janina & Markus left their jobs in the hotel & catering industry, they travelled around Europe in their van for years. After arriving in the Algarve, it quickly became clear that this will be the place in which their dream of their own project in harmony with nature turns into reality. The paradisiacal property in the relaxed hinterland of Aljezur was love at first sight.

Since then, the German - Austrian couple have built a small farm with animals & permaculture. We are proud to have founded Surf Spirit - Habitat Algarve with them & share the same philosophy.
