Overall score 90/100

Strong pick for travelers who want a relaxed, social surf-house vibe.

Highlights
  • Social, easygoing atmosphere
  • Great base for surf exploring
  • Comfortable shared spaces
Quick overview: Heiwa House feels more like a community surf home than a classic hotel. Guests consistently mention the easygoing atmosphere, friendly host, and plenty of shared spaces to hang out and unwind between sessions.

What we liked

  • Relaxed, social atmosphere
  • Designed for surfers and long stays
  • Comfortable base for exploring nearby breaks

Good to know

  • More surf-house than quiet boutique stay
  • Shared spaces are a big part of the experience
  • Best enjoyed if you’re happy being social

About Heiwa House & Surf Camp in Santa Cruz

The Location

Fly into Lisbon and you're about 50 minutes away by car – pretty easy. The house is a 5-minute walk from the ocean cliffs (great for sunset strolls) and a quick 5-minute drive to the nearest surf beach.

Nearby Surf

The local beach breaks are punchy and can get hollow – solid for intermediate and advanced surfers. Beginners? No stress, there are mellower spots nearby. If you want world-class waves, [Peniche](https://wavecamps.com/portugal/peniche/ ) is 30 minutes away and Ericeira about 40 minutes.

Food

If you book a Surf Week, food is included and guests rave about it – "amazing" comes up a lot in reviews. Communal dinners, healthy stuff, proper fuel for surfing. Room-only guests will need to sort their own meals.

Amenities in the House

They've gone all out here: swimming pool, skate park with a bowl and mini ramp, sauna, cold plunge, yoga dome, darts, ping pong, bikes, and surfboard rentals. Plenty to do on flat days.

Activities Nearby

Coastal hiking right from the door, horseback riding on the beach, and easy day trips to Óbidos, Sintra, or Nazaré if you want to explore.

Best Months to Come

Beginners: June to September – smaller waves, warmer water, perfect for learning.

Intermediates: April-May or September-October – more swell than summer but still manageable, fewer crowds.

Advanced: October to March – proper Atlantic power, cold water, but you'll score uncrowded sessions.

This camp is located in Portugal on the Lisbon coast.
