If we are not able to respond directly, we are probably surfing but it shouldn’t take too long.
Team

Great things are never done by just one person but a team. At Cliff we work together like a family. We care about each other. This creates the best vibe between us and our guests.

The booking deposit is 25% of the total amount of your reservation.
Deposit shall be paid within 48 hours after the bank details were sent to you in order to validate your booking. - After having received you payment we will send you a confirmation voucher with the details of your booking.
Due to property management reasons, we never guarantee a specific room to the guest, but will always try to meet your preferences when it’s possible!
Yes, we have private accommodation option. However, there is a surcharge applied to single occupancy of double rooms.
Yes, they are. So you have more space in your bag for bikinis or board shorts.
We only allow arrivals on Saturday and Sunday. Like this we can start the new surf course with all guests at Monday, meaning you all make the same steps in surfing. This is causing the best experiences for you.
When booking your stay with us, you have 3 options of payment: bank transfer, Paypal or credit card. On site you can pay with cash or credit card.
Yes, you can. We accept Visa and Mastercard. Unfortunately, we do not accept American Express.
If you didn’t benefit from a certain service out of your choice (for example you did not wish to participate in the dinner) you cannot get a refund. If you didn’t benefit from a service because of external issues (for example an injury during a surf lesson that hinders you from continuing the surf course) CLIFF will issue a voucher for the remaining lessons.
Of course! Everybody is welcome to join our lessons. We love to share the passion for surf with everyone! Booking in advance is required. Please give us a call [00351 261 938 618] or send an e-mail [] with the following information: your name, age, how many people want to join, height and surf level (beginner, intermediate, never surfed before, already caught green waves).
Yes, you can. We want you to surf as much as possible during your stay! However, lessons on the weekend are considered extra lessons. So the group lessons included in the pack are not valid for Saturdays and Sundays. Please ask us for prices and availabilities.
No, it is not possible to hand over a service from the pack to another party. The content is personal and non-transferable.
Yes this is possible. We have an extra pricelist for that.
For safety reasons the equipment can only be used during the surf lessons under the guidance of our coaches.
To get to the camp you have 4 options: with CLIFF’s shuttle, with your own car or a rental car or by public transport.
If you have a reservation for our Cliff airport shuttle, we will assure the transfer from Lisbon airport to CLIFF. An authorized person will be waiting for you (and maybe other guests) outside the airport at a specific meeting point.
Our shuttles need to be booked in advance so we can organize all the pick-ups. To do so we require the following details:
- your flight number and arrival time
- number of people traveling
- if you carry any oversized luggage or boards
- one mobile number to contact you
We are organising shuttles from Lisbon Airport to Cliff Surf House and back. To keep the costs per person as low as possible, we combine them to group shuttles, which might cause some waiting times.
Day Shuttle (08:00 – 20:00)
1 Person: 70€, 2 Persons: 40€ per person, 3 Persons: 30€ per person, 4 Persons: 25€ per person, 5 Persons: 20€ per person, 6 Persons: 20€ per person, 7 Persons: 20€ per person, 8 Persons: 20€ per person
Night Shuttle (20:00-08:00)
1 Person: 90€, 2 Persons: 50€ per person, 3 Persons: 40€ per person, 4 Persons: 35€ per person, 5 Persons: 30€ per person, 6 Persons: 30€ per person, 7 Persons: 30€ per person, 8 Persons: 30€ per person
To get here with public transport you’ll need to catch the underground and two buses.
Starting point is Lisbon airport.
1. Take the underground directly from the airport, red line direction “S. Sebastião”
2. Get off at “Alameda” station and switch to the green line direction “Telheiras”
3. Get off at “Campo Grande” station. Outside the underground you’ll find the bus station. Just across the street you’ll find the bus stop to “Torres Vedras”
4. Take a bus direction Torres Vedras – Directa A8. It goes directly via highway and takes about 40 minutes (only in the city of Torres Vedras it stops a couple of times).
5. Get off really at the end of the line, where the bus station is. There you can catch a bus to Santa Cruz/Póvoa de Penafirme. Our bus stop is “Vale de Janelas – Rotunda da Vigia”, just a two-minute walk. Not all the buses come all the way up here, some stop at the village center (the ones that end in “Santa Cruz” on the timetable). So let us know the estimated time of arrival at Santa Cruz and we come to pick you up. Please get off at the bus stop by the beach (it’s the last stop when the bus finishes at Santa Cruz).
Send us an e-mail and we will forward you the bus timetables.
