The surf school on-site invites both beginners and enthusiasts to enhance their skills while enjoying a friendly community atmosphere. Guests can unwind in the garden, perfect for sunny days or casual socializing with fellow surf lovers.
The location is a strong draw, just an 11-minute stroll to Playa Somo—a popular beach known for consistent waves—making it easy to grab boards and wetsuits for a convenient surf session.

Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Best place to stay if you like surfing, partying and having good time! The location is just a walk to the famous Playa de Somo, where you can reach directly with your wetsuit and board. The hostel is very friendly, with some place to chill, sunbathing, wash your board and stuff. The staff is very gentle and friendly and the best thing is that you can get some Surf Safari to check new spots and surf in other beach breaks in Catambria. I really recommend this surf house:)”
“Excellent place to surf, chill and enjoy good vibes! Excellent staff really kind and friendly I’ve found the surf house really clean and comfortable, 5min away from the beach. The owner of the house is always super kind and ready to help for every situation. I’ll definitely recommend this place for its comforts, family vibe and great company. See you soon SurfToLive”
