Magnus & Friends Surf Lodge Reviews 

A lovely experience, truly. The staff and instructors were enthusiastic, everyone went up and beyond in trying to give us the best possible experience.

I can recommend this place to everyone of all ages!!

We were a large group of 22 people who went on a wonderful conference to beautiful Portugal and Baleal. From the planning stage with our travel coordinator until we left the group in Baleal, we were met with professionalism, flexibility, humor, joy and it was clear that they enjoyed their job, what they did. Everyone was so satisfied and happy after the trip, to see Baleal, try surfing, good food and nice hanging out - great in every way. Take a trip!!

What can I say besides what an incredible week my daughter (11 years old) and I had in Baleal with Magnus and Friends! It was such a memorable trip we will never forget. We booked a mother/daughter surf trip not knowing what to expect as first time surfers and were blown away by the whole experience. Magnus and Friends were top notch, friendly and made us feel at home for the week. We made great friendships with our new surfing friends and our surf instructors were next level! They were local to the area and made the surf sessions fun and were tailored to each of our skillsets. I can’t say enough about each person we met and how they have created a fond memory for my daughter and me. The area was chill, laid back and just what you want from a surf vacation. Excellent restaurants and cafes to relax, unwind and enjoy the incredible views. We especially enjoyed the flexibility of everything we did and being able to walk out the door and go for a walk along the cliffs, do yoga on the beach or watch the incredible sunsets. We miss everyone we met already and can’t wait to bring the whole family back sometime!

Awesome. Everything. Every time. Visited both Baleal and Fuerteventura with family (kids aged 6 to 18).

Nothing but good things to say. Stayed in the surf villa with my family, 2 adults and 3 children. Clean and nice room. Happy and accommodating staff. Surf teachers were amazing, the classes were on a perfect level for each of the kids. My oldest, 13, had tried surfing before and learned how to catch waves and surf on his own. My 10 year old had never surfed and managed to catch a wave or two on his own at the end of the course, and the youngest one were pushed onto the waves. All super happy and didn't want to get out of the water at the end of class.

We were there for a girls trip, a big group of girls and it was wonderful! The villa was clean and the staff super helpful. Replied to all our requests fast and tried to accommodate us as much as possible.

The breakfast was amazing and the instructors experienced, helpful and funny. They were very eager to give us a solid ground and knowledge so that we can continue learning on our own. Would definitely recommend.

The best place to be if you would like to learn how to surf. The staff are amazing and very serviceminded. Location are spectacular at the cliffs and sea, also the according are high standard with really nice breakfast.
I would definitely do this again and bring my family.
Thank you for a unforgetable experience.

This was an amazing experience for the whole family and I can without hesitation recommend a week with Magnus & friends. Go there, you will never regret it!
