THE BEST VALUE (AND MOST FUN) SURF HOUSE THIS SIDE OF SPAIN

Nestled in the breathtaking Pagoeta Nature Reserve, just a short drive from the iconic Zarautz surf beach and 30mins from the heart of San Sebastian, our all-inclusive surf camp offers the perfect blend of surf, sun, and social connection. Whether you're here to catch your first wave, bask in the Basque sun, or meet your new best friends from around the world, every day is packed with unforgettable moments. We include daily surf lessons with equipment included, 3 meals a day (Standard and Non-Refundable packages only), dorm style accommodation, transfers to the local beaches, and parties every night (earplugs provided!). You can also choose the cheaper bed and breakfast package and pay for your extras in person.

With regular shuttles and outings to San Sebastian, the local villages of Aia and Zarautz, and local beaches, you can experience everything the famed Basque region has to offer. Start your mornings with sunrise yoga on the deck, followed by a hearty chef-prepared breakfast with your new mates. Spend your days riding waves guided by experienced surf guides, exploring nearby hiking trails, horseback riding through rolling hills, or diving into vibrant city tours of San Sebastián. Evenings are for family-style dinners, bonfires under starry skies, and sangria-fueled stories with new friends.

THE ALL-INCLUSIVE PACKAGE COMES WITH:
• Dorm accommodation located in beautiful Pagoeta national park (bedding included)
• Transfers to and from San Pelaio station in Zarautz scheduled at 9am, 1pm, and 7pm

Great vibe and lots of fun but dirtiest hostel i’ve ever stayed in, and there were only three bathrooms upstairs so always queueing. Plus there was only one shuttle to/from the beach every day 10am-6pm which felt like the longest days at the beach and felt like access was limited. The sunsets and outdoors were nice though!
