"The best first surf camp experience I could have"
The Maverick Surf Camp turned out to be exactly what I was searching for my furst surfing experience.
The organization is the top one especially if you are exhausted to be the organizer of everything in your everyday life and want someone to schedule classes for you!
There is a perfect balance of surf and yoga classes! All teachers are amazing! Special thanks to surf instructors for their patience and strength to stay in cold water for hours with us!:)
The stuff at the camp itself are the kindest people ever! It felt like being a welcome guest there where people care that everything around you is neat, comfortable and relaxing!
Reception girls and guys are also super responsive and helpful any time you beed them.
Special thanks for grocery shopping rides and drop off at the bus station!
The place has literally everything for even a longer stay - it is super equipped (even baking forms for cakes).

"Great experience with wonderful people "
The mavericks is very clean and the staff is so friendly. We had a wonderful time here with the volunteers. The staff was very supportive and they tried everything that we are feeling well.
Breakfast was very good, they had vegan and vegetarian options as well.
The surfcourse was great, we learned a lot. Especially João was an amazing instructor.

"The place to be"
Dinis ( the owner)is an inspiration, Julia (the manager & yoga teacher) A sweet heart and so good to adapt to the level of a rookie yogist.
The staff (Bella-Rosa,Marta,Sophia,Emma,Suzanna and people who i unfortunalely didn’t get the name) were just amazing! Helpful and careful of the well being of the guests.
The surf coaches, Joao x2, Nuno, Mariana were full of energy , to give the strengh to keep the motivation going.I recommand highly!

"A wonderful week "
I had a wonderful time at the maverick.
The camp is beautiful, my room was nice with an amazing view and the house gets cleaned daily.
The maverick is located a little more in the country side but if you don’t have your own car (like me) there are some very friendly volunteers who offer shuttle services. And the area is simply beautiful and relaxing.
You can easily find people to connect with or spend time by yourself.
I enjoyed my surf and yoga lessons a lot.
I can highly recommend the maverick, I would stay again anytime! :)

"Time to break, discover and share"
I really appreciate some volunteers that were friendly and helpful.
I meet unknown travelers, share great moments with them but still had time for me and keep intimacy.
The villas and accommodations (pools, bar, etc) are good quality and spacious.
The place is quiet.
The yoga classes were great and the surf instructors awsome

"Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit"
Es war toll wie schön man seinen Tag gestalten konnte auch ohne Auto wurde uns nie langweilig und wir haben so tolle Menschen kennengelernt. Man fühlte sich zu jeder Zeit sehr willkommen und konnte sich sehr wohlfühlen und so sein wie man ist. Das Surfen hat super Spaß gemacht und die Lehrer waren wirklich motivierend. Yoga ist nicht nur 0815 sondern auch mal etwas ganz anderes was wir davor noch nie so ausprobieren konnten.

"10 tägiger Surf und Yoga Urlaub "
Es war der perfekte Spot um dem Alltagsstress zu entfliehen. Die Anlage ist wunderschön und gepflegt. Das Personal bzw die Volunteers sind super und der Zusammenhalt ist klasse.
Die Zimmer sind vollkommen in Ordnung wenn man auf der Suche nach etwas normalem und gemütlichem ist.
Die Surfschule ist professionell und die Lehrer gehen gut auf den Einzelnen ein.
Die Abende im ‘Wintergarten’ werden wir sehr vermissen.
Küche und Austattung bietet alles was man zur Selbstverpflegung benötigt.
Unter der Woche finden immer wieder gemeinsame Dinner in der Gruppe statt zu welchen man sich anmelden kann, um alle besser kennenzulernen ist das super und das Essen ist wirklich lecker !
Alles in Allem ein sehr gelungener Urlaub wir würden das Maverick immer wieder buchen.

"Great place to stay, would return!"
The villas were large, homely and well stocked.
Infinity pool was an amazing place to relax.
Yoga sessions were great and at a perfect level.
Surfing was fun. Usually small group sizes, apart from on weekends.
It was just as easy to take some time out alone as to join in on group activities such as dinners. There was no pressure either way.
The Maverick is a little way away from the town but the staff frequently offered to drive us to the shops when we needed more groceries. I liked this aspect of it as it was away from the traffic noise.
Everyone was lovely, and it was like a big family by the end of the week

I really liked the entire experience. The yoga classes with Julia were perfect! I really enjoyed them.
I felt very sad that i could not do another yoga class on my last day..
The surf lessons were so fun and the teachers are really great!!! The lessons are fantastic for beginners, but also for more experienced people.
After surf, you must book a massage. It’s all you need and it’s perfect!
Really great time and I plan to go there again with some friends!

"Tolle Leute empfangen dich an einem tollen Ort"
Super Location mit der perfekten Mischung aus "Kontakte knüpfen"/gemeinsame Zeit und Zeit für sich alleine.
Genug total schöne Räumlichkeiten/Spots mit absolutem Wohlfühlcharakter sorgen für eine absolute Erholung.
Das Programm aus Yoga, Surfen und gemeinsamen Abendaktivitäten trägt dazu bei sich ausgepowert und absolut entspannt zu fühlen - "Über sich hinauswachsen inklusive"!
Und als Topping gibt es ein tolles Team aus warmherzigen und freundlichen Menschen - sowohl im Mavericks als auch in der Surfschule!
Sehr gut als Alleinreiser geeignet!

"A great find"
We really liked the villas, beautifully landscaped amidst the natural setting. Ours was clean and comfortable and spacious and light and there are great communal areas for people to hang out in. Everyone there, staff and guests alike, were really friendly and helpful and we met some really nice people. The infinity pool and backdrop is very beautiful so we spent a lot of time there. Highlights for me were: Shaun's sushi class, the aerial yoga with Julia, and the massage with Carlos.

"Relaxing experience!"
The whole combo of yoga and surfing is great, they have new facilities and the way it is all built is amazing. Many different spacious areas to walk around and do stuff, to spend time on your own or to talk to others, no force major to do any of these, very relaxing. Had a chance to speak to the owner and it all became clear that everthing was built out of love and with great creativity. Quite some story there!
As for the activities, I am a very beginner in Yoga and the yoga teacher Maya was wonderful, she adapted to our levels of experience as well as nicely encouraged us to go over our psychological limits. You can chose different types of yoga which is also good, especially for those who never tried any of it. The massage with Carlos was very good, I am quite picky with masagges but this one was great.
Surfing - loved it, I wish I had more chances to do it and learn some more. Would love to try such Yogaretreat in the future for sure, additionally with more meditation classes.
Julia, Stefan and the rest of the team were also helpful throughout our stay, a warm thank you to all.
Recommendation: ask about yoga and surfing classes schedule before arrival so you could book them straightaway and get started on them sooner.

a wonderful holiday in a great location in the interior od the Land. loving people who were more of a host.
Die Anlage ist wunderschön und es fehlt an nix, es ist alle sehr naturverbunden und der Pool läd zum Verweilen ein.
Die Surfstunden sind sehr effizient und machen mit den Surflehrern wahnsinnig Spaß. Die Betreuung war sehr gut und die Lehrer sind auf das Level von einem eingegangen.
Die Yogsstunden sind der perfekte Ausgleich und sind umwerfend - von anstrengend bis zur Mediation.
Julia und Jenne haben das klasse gemacht.
Die Location auf dem Hügel im dem Chalet ist umwerfend.
Alles in allem ein klasse Urlaub mit netten Menschen um einen rum.
Eignet sich sowohl für allein reisen, oder mit Freunden al Paar oder in der Familie.
Für alle die Surf, Yoga und Spaß begeistert sind.

I had the best time at The Maverick and I can recommend anyone who is looking for a place to relax and meet wonderful people to spend some time there! I wish I could have stayed longer and I will be back for sure! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming from the moment I arrived until my departure when Julia and the rest of the team made it hard for me to leave. Besides The Maverick team the surf lessons are a reason to stay there. The groups are small and the instructors make sure everyone gets the support they need. In conclusion: great environment, beautiful houses and garden, fun surf lessons with experienced instructors, awesome food and most of all - amazing people! A must go!

I like the organisation at Maverick. You feel like belonging to a community but at the same time people are autonomous and free to join / not join events / dinners, etc.
The staff is amazingly nice and fun. Lisa the yoga instructor really makes a good job and is a very nice person. Finally, customers are a balanced mix of friends / solo travelers / families of all ages, which allows to meet very different people.

"Very relaxing - apart from the surfing!"
The Maverick is lovely, great facilities (kitchen, bathroom, dining area, pool area, gardens and winter garden). Very clean. Staff all helpful and friendly. The location is rural but that's fine for me as it made it more relaxing than being in the town. Breakfast was lovely - good choice. Surfing was great fun - class sizes small which helps for beginners! They also have a great yoga studio and we had a yoga class on the beach which whilst cold was really beautiful.
