The Surf House opened its doors first in 2012. It has a total of 8 double rooms. This not only gives you more space for yourself as well as privacy, but also a personal retreat whenever you long for some rest. We offer you the opportunity to relax and switch off – or, if you feel like it, to meet up with the other guests in the various common areas.
With solar panels on the roof, a careful support of regional products and local businesses, and a well-regulated garbage system, our eco- riendly Surf House is designed to offer a maximum of functionality and comfort as well as the perfect combination of fun and relaxation.
With the experiences of our travels, we have decided to create a place where you feel welcome; a place where you want to come back; a place where you feel at home….
… and this is how it all began …
Accessible to all Surf House guests: a cosy living room with two large leather sofas, a spacious dining room overlooking the garden and pool, a modern and fully equipped kitchen with large refrigerators, a laundry room and an extra bathroom.
Throughout the house there is wi-fi, you can also find DVDs and books at your disposal, as well as various games and of course in-depth tourist information about restaurants, surf spots, excursions and things to see in the area.
Rooms
The Surf House has a total of 8 rooms: 5 double bed rooms – perfect for couples or solo travelers who want their privacy, and 3 twin bed rooms – ideal for friends traveling together, as well as for solo travelers who are happy to share their room.
The rooms are being cleaned every second day. If you share a twin bedroom with another guest, the room and bathroom will be cleaned daily, of course. Towels will be changed on request.
The Castro room is named after the nearby Celtic ruins “Castro de Baroña”. It is one of four double bed rooms on the 1st floor and has a private bathroom and a small north-facing balcony overlooking the garden at the back of the house.
As Furnas is the name of our beautiful homespot, which is the closest beach to the Surf House. The room is also a double bedroom on the 1st floor with its own bathroom and a small south-facing balcony on the front of the house
Corrubedo is a small neighborhood town, which because of its lighthouse, dunes and charming harbor bars and restaurants, is always worth a visit. The room of the same name is one of the two twin bed rooms on the ground floor. It is possible to convert the two single beds to a comfortable, extra-large double bed. The room has its own bathroom and direct access to the terrace and the garden at the backside of the house.
Vilar is one of two beaches that are located in the unique nature reserve and dunes of Corrubedo. It is one of our favorite spots for teaching and can’t therefore be missed as a room in the Surf House. Vilar is another double room on the 1st floor with its own bathroom and a small north-facing balcony overlooking the garden at the back of the house.
The room Rio is named after the nearby beach of Rio Sieira. A boardwalk connects the two beaches As Furnas and Rio Sieira and ends in a small pine forest. It is a double bedroom on the 1st floor with its own bathroom and a small south facing balcony on the front of the house.
The beach Ladeira, an endless sandy beach with many different peaks of waves, is the second beach which is part of the nature reserve next to Vilar. A lagoon separates these two beaches. Ladeira is the one of the two twin rooms on the ground floor. Like in the other twin bed room, it is possible to convert the two single beds to a comfortable, extra-large double bed. The room has its own bathroom and direct access to the garden at the front of the house.
La habitación Porto Son está amueblada con dos camas individuales, mientras que la habitación Porto Sin tiene una cama doble. Un baño independiente con dos lavabos, una amplia ducha a ras de suelo y un inodoro es compartido entre ambas habitaciones.
The Porto Son room is furnished with two single beds, while the Porto Sin room has a double bed. A separate bathroom with two sinks, a large walk-in shower, and a toilet is shared between both rooms.
The bright living area, featuring a comfortable sofa, a dining table, and a fully equipped kitchenette with an integrated washing machine, creates a cozy atmosphere. From there, you have access to a large and sunny southwest-facing terrace, perfect for enjoying spectacular sunsets.
All the aforementioned facilities are located on the first floor of the Surf House and are exclusively available for communal use by the residents of these two rooms.
Todas las instalaciones mencionadas se encuentran en el primer piso del Surf House y están exclusivamente disponibles para uso comunitario por los residentes de estas dos habitaciones.
Breakfast
The good Galician cuisine is one of its tourist pillars. The excellent quality and variety of local products serve as a basis for diverse delicacies and dishes.
In our Surf House, we put much emphasis on a delicious and healthy diet. A rich breakfast buffet is included in the price. Be it sweet or hearty; there is something for everyone: Various breads, cheese, jams, yogurts, mueslis and lots of fruit are supplemented daily by various extras such as smoothies, croissants, scrambled eggs, etc. It should give you the strength and energy you need for a long day of surfing.
Dinner
The shared kitchen (fully equipped with two large fridges, a dishwasher and various plates, pots, pans, etc.) can be used at any time for lunch and dinners or to prepare your lunch boxes.
We are happy to cook dinner for you. It consists of a two-course menu with dessert and is prepared daily with fresh regional products. It costs € 19 per person and can be booked on site day by day.
It’s important for us to to cook varied and creative dishes. And of course we can adapt the daily menu to the wishes and preferences of our guests. Let us know your nutritional preferences, whether you are vegetarian, vegan or have an allergy or intolerance. In addition to burgers, burritos, lasagna, paella and fish, we also offer many vegetarian, vegan, gluten and lactose-free dishes. You will definitely not leave hungry: our portions are made for surfers.
Our tap water is potable water, and there is also a so-called “honesty bar” with regional beer and wine, in the common kitchen and available 24/7.
Galicia is undoubtedly the place with the highest probability of waves in Europe’s mainland. The region in immediate vicinity to the Surf House with its miles of sandy beaches and coves is still untouched by mass tourism, and offers ideal conditions for surfing. Overcrowded lineups do not exist here! Due to the varied coastline and numerous beaches with different expositions, you’ll almost always find the perfect place for surfing, independently from waves and wind conditions. Whether beginner or advanced, there is a variety of waves for every level. Within a 15 minutes drive you can reach all of the best surf spots in the area. They offer us a wide swell window, as well as numerous wind-protected alternatives and various alternatives for big or too small waves, depending on surfing level and taste. These include Vilar, Ladeira, Balieiros and the two house spots As Furnas and Rio Sieira. Most of them break on sand. From early May to late October the water temperature is between 18 and 20 degrees. We do recommend a 4/3mm wetsuit for surfing and any other kind of water sport.
Surf Courses
Our surf courses are exclusively held in small groups. This allows us to respond individually to each participant’s training level and needs. In this way a faster learning process in a friendly atmosphere is guaranteed. We offer high standard surf courses for all levels: advanced, intermediate and beginners. A surf instructor supervises a maximum of 7 surf students.
Our surf instructors have qualification certificates (licensed by the International Surfing Association ISA, the Galician Surf Federation FGS and the Spanish Surf Federation FES) and many years of experience in teaching.
If you already have practice in surfing, this is an important information for us. We want to help you to pick up where you’ve stopped on your last surf holiday.
You can book additional surf lessons on site or in advance any time, as well as always change the level of the surf course. We adapt the remaining surfing days and the surfing program to your individual needs. The surf course is exclusively for guests of the Surf House.
Surf lessons
You drive with the surf instructors from the Surf House to one of the surrounding surf spots, where you get between 3 to 4 hours of surf lessons per day. The Surf House is surrounded by more than 10 different spots, which are all offering different wind and swell directions, wave sizes and tides. We always align our surf lessons with the current weather and wave conditions. Adapted to the daily forecast, spot guiding is included in the class to guarantee you the best possible surf for the day. Another way to improve your style and technique in surf lessons is through photo analysis. It helps you to get to know your movements and habits while surfing better and to surf more consciously afterwards. In order to recognize mistakes and to correct them, exercises in the water as well as on land are shown after the photo analysis

Beach transport with surf guiding
If you want to try surfing yourself during this holiday but you still need some support then you can use our shuttle service to the beach and get advice from our surf guides on site. You’ll drive from the surf house together with the surf course group to the beach, where you can surf independently for up to 4 hours a day.
On the beach, our surf instructors will guide you to the respective spot and help you to choose a peak. They’ll show you the easiest and safest way into the line-up, describe the peak, the take-off zone and draw your attention to currents and other dangers. In the water you are then on your own.
Spot guide
Our professional spot guiding to more than 10 different surf spots is for all those who have several years of surfing experience, can surf safely on their own and are traveling by car. At the beginning of your holiday you will talk to a surf guide about your surfing skills and what type and size of waves you prefer to surf.
We check various surf forecasts on a daily basis, evaluate them for your requirements and, based on our excellent spot knowledge and our local know-how, select the best surf spot for you every day. With the help of various satellite images of each spot, we give you all the information you need for a great surfing session.
Surf Material & Test Center
Our entire surf material is up to date with the latest technology and as good as new. We have a wide range of boards and neat wetsuits for our surf students. Softboards are ideal for learning the basics of surfing. Depending on your height, weight and your personal surf level, we have different models and sizes of softboards available for you. So you can approach a hardboard easily and without wasting time. We can offer our more advanced surfers both hard and longboards. In recent years, we have put together a test center on various boards with the help of our local shaper – Stinky Tofu Surf.
From longboards to shortboards, from retro boards to further alternative board shapes, you surely find the right board for you. Our test center offers you the perfect opportunity to try something new, or adapting your board choice on the daily weather and wave conditions. We are happy to help with your board selection in order to make you feel comfortable in the water, and to make you find the board that suits your surf level as well as the daily conditions. Our surfboard test center is being expanded and renewed every year.
Material Rental
The material (board and surfing wetsuit) is included in the surf courses. If you are not taking part in the course and do not have your own board or neoprene, you can also rent the necessary surfing equipment from us.
We have a large selection of different boards, (soft and hard boards), as well as several shapes available. We only rent boards from our test center to surfers with at least 4 weeks of surfing experience. For surfers who come with their own equipment, we have space to store the boards as well as space to wash and hang up the wet suits.
Activities
You can either book the yoga classes and the surf skate lessons before the start of your trip, or you can decide spontaneously on site. In addition we also offer horse riding excursions and free bike rental.
Surfskate
With surf skating you can significantly improve your surfing technique in just a short time. The surfskate lessons usually take place in the afternoon after the surf courses. You can work on your surfing technique for 1 hour per day in a nearby sports facility. The surfskate lessons will help you to improve your balance, coordination and style when surfing in the ocean. It offers you the perfect opportunity to work on new maneuvers and train how to build up speed in a wave.
Yoga
In recent years, more and more surfers have discovered yoga for themselves. For surfing, you need both strength, endurance and balance and coordination; properties that are trained in yoga practice. More flexibility and better body voltage can significantly improve your surfing. In addition, muscles and tendons are stretched and relaxed during yoga, and you’re therefore automatically protected against injuries.
The yoga classes, mainly Vinyasa Yoga, take place in small groups on our beautiful and quiet yoga platform under the trees in the garden. Here too, we put much importance on the fact that our yoga teacher (trained in 200 hours Level 1 Hatha – Vinyasa Yoga, at Yogaroom in Barcelona and certified with the Advanced Diploma in Yoga, at Yoga Vidya Gurukul in India) adapts the lesson’s level on the individual abilities of the participants, and does respect also their preferences and limits.
No matter how experienced you are, the yoga classes are always designed so that you can join in at your own pace. Let go, relieve tension, reduce stress and look forward to end the evening recovered and relaxed.
Massages
A massage is the perfect way to relax and relieve sore muscles and tension after surfing. That is why, in addition to our extensive program of activities. we also offer sports and relaxation massages.
