The Experience

If you love the ocean, this corner of Portugal is a huge adventure playground. If you also love good company in a relaxed yet sociable guest house this is the right place! :) Close enough to the buzzing tourist hotspot Lagos, but far enough to enjoy the relaxed vibe of nature. Excellent kite, surf and SUP spots in all directions. Oh, did we already mention the laid-back little beach and the super scenic walks along the cliffs…? :)

Creating the new website has been a beautiful experience. We as volunteers were treated very well. Everyone at the surf camp made me feel truly welcomed! I've made friends, learned a lot, shared beautiful moments. the surf camp has a place in my heart. I'll be back!

Truly an unforgettable experience at the surf camp!! I had a good feeling about this place from the start but my expectations were surpassed by the kind people that call this place home, whether it's volunteers there for a short time or a whole season, everyone's included. This place is special and there's something incredible about being part of the team here.

I loved my stay at the surf camp! Pedro was very friendly and easy going, good to have around. We went surfing together, I could use the bike and surf boards as much as I wanted, house is nice as well. I was there in the winter season, so I could have the volunteer dorm for myself. We could even use the van to go surfing to nearby beaches, when in Burgau the waves were not so good. Workwise - there was a lot of choices to choose from and I could do what I wanted. Also a lot of self initiative - I could prioritise/ initiate the tasks that I found important.

The surf camp exceeded all our expectations for a first volunteer experience, it truly became a home away from home. Saying goodbye is tough, but we're already planning to return. We shared unforgettable moments surfing together, enjoying our tasks while chatting and listening to music, and having a wonderfully relaxing time in Burgau. Pedro is one of the kindest and most inspiring people we've ever met. Pedro, we can never thank you enough for everything we experienced here. We're leaving with full hearts, knowing this isn't goodbye—it's just “see you soon.”

Hello World!
Time to share how wonderful Pricila and Bruno were as volunteers. They are an amazing couple to have around—fun, easygoing, and full of positive energy. They bring a great vibe wherever they go. Their skills are incredibly valuable as well. From our experience, Bruno and Pricila offer solid support in areas like marketing and design, making them a great asset to any team. It was truly a pleasure having them at The Ocean Spirits Lodge.
See you soon :) Pedro

I would recommend the surf camp to anyone looking for a volunteer experience. It was an unforgettable experience. The location, the team, the activities, the places to discover, everything was perfect. Every day there were new things to do, new moments to share. The work is simple, I felt independent and my work was recognized at its true value. Thank you for everything!
