SURF HOUSE
A lifestyle, not a sport. A home, not a hotel.
It`s always been about guests, who became friends, about sharing surf sessions, sunsets or food around a big table. Together, we are a family dedicated to living a relaxed life in the sunshine, close the ocean.
Cliff Surf House is a place to create memories, share a passion for surfing, have fun, and build long-lasting friendships.
Welcome to our sun terrace with the comfortable chillout area, the hotspot to hang out.
We also have a great bar with a fine selection of drinks, beers and cocktails, perfectly served by our bar chef Vitor.
There’s no better way to enjoy a beautiful summer than jamming to live music outside. If you have a talent, here is your stage.

GUESTS
We believe it’s not only surfing and fascinating nature that counts, but also other travelers to share the extraordinary moments with. Cliff Surf House is designed to make it easy to make new friends you can share your experiences with. Every week we have people traveling alone, but also friends or couples, which are just waiting to get to know you. The average age is 22-35 years. Our guests have an international background, mostly from Europe.
We have hosted birthday and bachelor parties, company retreats, yoga retreats, even a wedding! Just ask us, if you plan something special.
sustainability
Surfing’s connection to nature is imbedded in the very origins of the sport. We are totally gifted to live in this pretty paradise called Santa Cruz.
We want to protect our nature by trying to make as little impact on the environment as possible. We try to have less stuff, but with more meaning. We repair broken things, before throwing them away. We respect nature.
„REuse – REduce – REcycle – REpeat” is our credo. We kindly ask you to support our vision, which helps us to become a sustainable Surfhouse in Portugal.
Here a few actions we take, to live a little greener: We get most of our energy from out solar panels, we organize beach cleans, we are part of „take 3 for the sea“ initiative, which basically means we always bring 3 pieces of plastic items from the beach.
Our food is essentially sourced locally, bought from farmers from our region. Our staff comes mostly from our area, which supports the local economy. With booking Cliff Surf House you do everything right: For yourself, for the locals and for our beloved planet.
Food
We know eating is one of the biggest pleasures. Our homemade food is cooked with love and contains the best quality with a large range of variety.
Buying our veggies, fruits and fish locally and directly from the markets means it’s fresher than you’ll ever imagine. There is also always a vegetarian option, prepared freshly every day.
We serve up a nice breakfast with eggs, fruits, bread, juices, coffee and tea and some other goodies – there is something for everyone. Due to Corona restrictions we will serve the meals directly from the kitchen (no buffets possible).
The highlight of the week: CLIFF SURF BBQ. We turn on the barbecue and put on the tasteful meat and a lot of nice veggies. Can you smell the fire already?
Food allergies are no problem here. We can cater for your dietary requirements, upon booking. Please mention your allergy or special requirements.
Within Japanese cuisine, sushi has captured the hearts of gourmets from all over the world. Our world-class sushi chef Fernando and his team are coming once a week to our Surf House to offer amazing rolls, sashimi and appetizers using only the freshest ingredients. If you are looking for a really special taste experience, you are very welcome to book this extra.
