Noah Surf House Portugal

Our family with kids in tow stayed at this delightful surf house. Elevated accomodations, food, and activities made our stay the highlight of the trip to Portugal. In particular our little one thoroughly enjoyed the activities and shout out to Tomas (sp?) who through his skateboarding lessons, instilled a great interest in the sport so much so that he mentions how much he misses Tomas and wants to keep skateboarding more. the wife and I enjoyed our variety of activities - exercise, surf, yoga, and of course a nice glass of wine to unwind at the end of the day. Accommodations were super cool, funky, clean, and comfortable. the staff worked behind the scenes to make sure everything seemed effortlessly ready and waiting. We particularly enjoyed how this up and coming town is not crazy busy (yet) and hope to make our way back here in the near future. thoroughly recommend this spot!

Clean, cozy, nice bungalows with simple features, beautiful pool, seaview from bed, perfect atmosphere, excellent surf with professional instructors, well organized team, awesome food, friendly staff - everything was fantastic! I‘ll defenitely come again next year!

Noah Surf House is a distinctive, relaxed, fun all-in-one hotel ecosystem for enjoying the surf coast north of Lisboa. We stayed for a couple of nights at the end of a longer holiday to try our surfing with our teens (it was a hit). The property is very fresh and modern and built as a "hang" for people who want to surf, beach, skate, yoga it up and then get some good food and cocktails. The smart building clings to the hill above the Santa Cruz beach with great views from the pool and bar decks. We stayed in two of their Bungalows that are fun "shacks" giving that surf beach vibe. Surf lessons were great with friendly, personable instructors. The property feels really safe, with plenty of life especially after the nightly fires get lit on the decks! Would stay again.

Quirky and very well thought out hotel, one road back from the beach. The service was fantastic from start to finish, every member of staff could not have been more friendly or helpful. We stayed in Terra 5, which can sleep up to 8 people so there was plenty of room for the 4 of us. Really well designed room with lots of indoor and outdoor space. The pool was excellent, the skate park was a huge hit and the surf school is fantastic. They have many other activities including Pilates and Longboard skateboarding that we took advantage of. Tomas, the skateboard instructor is wonderful. The food is very good quality and the only downside would be if you stayed here for more than a few nights you could get tired of the menu. We would highly recommend this place, especially with kids between the ages of 6-16.

Many thanks to the fantastic team at Noah's Surf House, our family of 6 had a fabulous holiday. Comfortable accommodation, fun activities, great food (particularly breakfast) and awesome vibes (including vino by the fire pit). Thank you!

Noahs surfhouse is really something special! Situated in the small and beautiful Santa Cruz with an amazing sea view and a one of a kind ambience. Travelling as a family here was so good, all the activities offered by the hotel for both adults and kids was really great! Food is delicious, vibe is one of a kind and rooms are really spacious, simple but clean and with a great view. Staff is really helpful and kind!

A good place for families to spend a week. Close the the beach. Good, spacious and clean bungalows. The pool is well maintained. The restaurant ha a good selection and the breakfast buffet is delicious and big. Most activities for kids are for 6+ years. Keep that in mind.

Noah Surf House, thanks for an awesome stay! We had high expectations and were surprised the hotel was much nicer and bigger than we imagined. Loved hanging by the pool on sunny days, sitting in the warm tub, having a snack or drink while watching our toddler bounce on the trampoline... I actually loved jumping on there too haha, taking the yoga, stretching, functional training classes, visiting the chickens, watching or practicing skateboarding. Highly recommend, especially if you want to do fun things for yourself annnnnd have fun doing things with your kid(s). Honourable mentions-- Food: everything at the included breakfast, the 'welcome drink' carbonated lemonade, everything at the $45 all you can drink & eat BBQ party, the chicken salad. People: *Fred, our son Eames thinks you're the coolest- thx for letting him give you a tattoo;). *George, you remind me so much of my father-in-law. Thx for stepping out of the kitchen and coming to say hi every day. *All of the surf instructors, you are so good at what you do & *Nuno, thank you for being so kind even after the accident with Luke :| *All of the front desk staff, thanks for being so accommodating. Having the breakfast waiting for us at 4am before we made our way home was the cherry on the cake. *The incredible cleaning crew that helped me clean up the room after our 3yo got sick, while my husband was surfing. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Activities: The bikes with the toddler seat were a fun and easy way to explore Santa Cruz. Luke and I both loved the functional training class. Again, the Surf classes were so So good- I was in the beginner classes and Luke in intermediate. The instructors are awesome. Obrigado!

What a find! We absolutely loved our week's stay at Noah's Surf House. The beds were extremely comfortable, the breakfast a total highlight (we miss the cake and bread!), the activities a real bonus to keep our toddler and myself entertained and the BBQ free flow was great. Fitness classes and yoga were great, plus my little one loved the chickens. I hope they keep the old dears for their continued retirement. The views are sensational across the hotel and the vibes/aesthetics are really cool. The only reason I couldn't quite give it a 5 was the fact it's a small place but outsiders can still access the restaurant so it was difficult to get a booking and the best seats for sunset were always taken on the rooftop. Plus the portions were quite small for the very high prices. Yet extremely tasty! Just wish there was more of it. If we come again, definitely worth the investment in the bungalows with the kitchen if you have kids (or want somewhere to keep your drinks cold!) Plus the pool was just far too cold. My little one's lips turned blue! So we never used it which was a huge shame. Will definitely bring his wetsuit next time. The view from our Mar bungalow also wasn't great overlooking the campsite and road, so maybe request one higher up and closer to the hotel so you get more of the sea view. But overall, fantastic family holiday!
