This has been the most wonderful first volunteering experience I could imagine! the surf camp is such a warm and friendly place that I am sad to be leaving but so happy to have had a chance to experience :) All people who come here are super nice, guests are chill and I enjoyed spending time with them, but the volunteering team is something special (our manager as well) ❤️ The work is fair and not stressful, the surf camp is very cute, you can learn or practice kitesurfing easily, and spend time with awesome people, so if you get a chance to go, take it!

We had an amazing experience with Jovana. Truly a 5-star volunteer! Very professional, reliable, and very easy to work with. She was a solid Front Office/Reception support. Always responsible, very organized, while also showing great empathy and care in everything she did. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to join our team. Highly recommend them to any host looking for a dedicated and trustworthy volunteer!
Thank you Jovana! :)

The surf camp was full of firsts for me: my first time in Portugal, my first time volunteering, my first time as a housekeeper, and my first time staying in a hostel. It turned out to be a truly special experience, unlike any I've had before. In the small and charming village of Burgau, time, space, and relationships take on a different meaning, giving you the chance to disconnect and reconnect with a better version of yourself. Obrigada to the staff, the volunteers, and the guests who came together to create a fun, slightly crazy, but genuinely warm family. <3

The surf camp Spit Lodge is so much more than just a beautiful place to stay — it's a space where community truly matters. The team is welcoming, the shifts are well organized, and the reception work felt light and supported at all times. I was just a few minutes from the beach, met people from all over the world, made amazing friends, and still had plenty of free time to explore the Algarve at my own pace. Honestly, it's hard to put into words how special this place is. I felt at home from day one. I'd recommend it with my whole heart :)

My experience at the surf camp was honestly one of the best choices I could've made. I found an amazing place with truly wonderful people. There are so many activities to do, like kite, surf, yoga, SUP, wakeboarding… I never imagined I'd find a new family to share this kind of experience with. There's absolutely nothing I could complain about. It'll always be one of my favorite places, and I'd recommend it to anyone.

Sofia was such a wonderful part of our housekeeping team, taking care of the Lodge as if it were her own. Hard-working, responsible, and also serious about fun, she brought a beautiful Italian energy to the lodge. She integrated so smoothly with everyone, full of good vibes and dynamism, and became a truly great team member who made this summer at the lodge really special. We are very grateful that we could have Sofia with us. If she ever knocks on your door, don’t hesitate — take her! 😊 Grazie

My new favorite spot in Europe: beach, town, adventure, nature all in one. Easy to move around and full of stuff to do whether you're into sports or just want to relax. It's got a laid-back, sunny vibe like California without the rush. Everyone speaks English but it still feels local. I led their social media and content creation, and it was the perfect mix of work and joy. The team, instructors and volunteers added real heart to it. Super grateful I got to be part of it. If you're thinking about it, just go for it.
