The Costa de la Luz is a surfer's dream for every level.

  • Waves for all levels of surfing
  • 5 x 2.5h surf lessons including theory
  • Surfing in the warmest place in Europe
  • Long beaches with constant waves
  • Professional, licensed coaches
  • 1 x Surf video analysis
  • Equipment available at any time

The beach breaks in the neighboring town of El Palmar are among the best waves in Spain, offering perfect conditions for learning to surf or taking your skills to the next level. In contrast, our beautiful home beach in Los Caños de Meca is the perfect place to relax, soak up the sun, and just unwind. Since Los Caños doesn't have a traditional beach break and the surf spots don't have sandy bottoms, they are particularly exciting for more experienced surfers. With a rental car, you can explore the surrounding area and various spots at your own pace, shaping your day exactly how you like.

Our internationally certified surf coaches take you on a surf trip 5 times a week. In each of the 2.5-hour surf lessons, our coaches provide individual, analytical feedback on your surfing level. Once a week, all surfers receive a video analysis so that you can work on your individual surfing technique in even more detail. Like at any surf spot, we also depend on nature and the wave conditions. If surfing is impossible, we try to stay flexible and reschedule the surf lessons to ensure a great surf week. If a session has to be canceled, we offer an alternative program such as surf skating.

So that you can be Beginner or experienced beginner (level 1 & 2) If you feel comfortable and safe, we will first provide you with all the basic theoretical information in our relaxed Chill Out Area before we get into the water. We take our job very seriously to provide the best surfing experience possible. All Surf Spirit coaches are well-trained and experienced to provide you with the necessary analytical feedback and take your surfing to the next level. In addition to surfing lessons, you can use our equipment free of charge and also go surfing on your own at any time.

After your week at Surf Spirit Villa Andalucia, you have developed a safe stand-up technique on the board, a controlled ride on the wave and can master your first manoeuvres. In addition to these skills, you will be able to independently identify good spots where you can safely go surfing yourself in the future.

Intermediate surfer (level 3) As an intermediate Surfer, we will first check your current surfing status so that we can then precisely improve your technique and knowledge together to bring you to the next level. With our experienced surf coaches, you will focus on the next individually necessary steps to make your improvement as efficient as possible. Our lessons are specifically tailored to each surfer's individual needs to get the best result during your stay with us. We often deal with wave reading, wave selection, pop-up timing, taking the best line of the wave and introducing or improving the maneuvers (bottom & top turn, cutback and more). You also have the opportunity to take part in our additional, free service, Surf Guiding. Please note that our coaches will check whether guiding at a challenging surfing spot matches your surfing level.

Advanced Surfer (level 4) We also have the opportunity to challenge yourself in larger and faster waves with our surf guiding. This is an additional service for our surfers who already feel comfortable on a reef. These sessions are also offered early in the morning (info: this may make you miss yoga in the morning). That means you jump into the jeep with your coach in the morning, he explains some details about the commercial and gives you individual tips. Then simply enjoy surfing together. Structured guiding should be seen as a supplement to our surf courses. Please note that our coaches will check whether guiding at a challenging surfing spot matches your surfing level.

photosOur professional photographer will also capture your best waves, so you can take your personal surf photos with you as a reminder at the end of your week.

Unser professioneller Fotograf wird außerdem deine besten Wellen einfangen, sodass du die Möglichkeit hast, deine persönlichen Surf Fotos am Ende deiner Woche als Erinnerung mitzunehmen.

In the morning before breakfast, you will start the day strengthened by our first activating yoga session. You don't need any previous experience for our yoga lessons. Every level is welcome. Our coaches ensure that you feel individually challenged, supported and, of course, absolutely comfortable at all times.

The second yoga class of the day is a very relaxing yin session in the red light of sunset, so that the day can be completed in a relaxed way.

Best time of my life!

The team is super friendly and full of joie de vivre. The villa is a great place to relax. The food was healthy. I had taken part in a surf camp before, but that's no comparison to Surf Spirit. The coaches came into the water with us after the theory session and were very helpful. The yoga was simply magical. 🧘 ‍ ♀️ The retreat gave me so much joy, energy and distance from everyday life. I really felt what it was like to enjoy life and live in the moment. I was just happy and it was the best time of my life. 🌊

My first solo trip

This week was better than I could have ever imagined. It was my first trip all alone and I met great people, learned new things about myself and just had a really good time. The team is very nice, the food is special and the yoga and surfing lessons have complemented each other perfectly. I would definitely come back again!

Ich habe jede Sekunde genossen

Ich habe noch nie eine so wohltuende Erfahrung gemacht. Bei diesem Retreat konnte ich mich wirklich entspannen und die Seele baumeln lassen. Ich habe mich so gut umsorgt gefühlt und jede Sekunde davon genossen. Das Haus ist dank dieses unglaublichen Teams voller Liebe und Lachen, sodass man wirklich das Gefühl hat, bei der Familie zu Besuch zu sein. Bei jeder Surf- und Yogastunde hat der Kursleiter deutlich gemacht, dass jeder in seinem eigenen Tempo vorgehen soll, sodass niemand unter Druck stand und sich ganz auf den Spaß konzentrieren konnte. Ich werde nächstes Jahr wiederkommen und freue mich schon jetzt darauf!

A big family

This has been one of my best weeks ever in my entire life! Sri Lanka is such a warm, safe, colorful and welcoming country and surf spirit retreat is simply its crown jewel. It's a gorgeous villa so close to the shore but still peacefully in land. The teaching and management team is amazing: young, cool, friendly, open, highly skilled. I had ko expectations about surf and learned so much in one week that I could tame medium to large and waves of the Indian Ocean (in a beginner beach). The food is mostly plentiful, tasty and healthy with loads of local fruit. I was terribly sad to leave this place, I still dream about it with closed and open eyes.

I want to do it again!

I spent a week in Sri Lanka at Jungle Villa and it was just perfect!!! I would 100% recommend it if you enjoy surfing (no matter what level), do yoga and want to meet new people. The location is great, quiet and perfect for relaxing. The food was fantastic all week long, there was something different for lunch and dinner every day, most of it was even vegan.

FAQs

Wie ist das Wetter in Andalusien

Das Klima in Andalusien ist einer der Gründe, warum wir diesen Ort so lieben. Mit rund 300 Sonnentagen im Jahr gehört die Region zu den wärmsten Gegenden Europas und eignet sich fast das ganze Jahr für eine Auszeit am Meer. Auch im Winter bleibt es angenehm mild. Die Temperatur fällt selbst in den kühlsten Monaten nur selten unter 16 °C. Sobald die Sonne rauskommt, fühlt sich die Temperatur tagsüber schnell deutlich wärmer an und du kannst auch im Winter viele Stunden draußen verbringen. Im Sommer steigen die Temperaturen und rund um die Villa Andalucía und El Palmar beginnt das volle spanische Sommerleben mit Strand, offenen Bars und langen Abenden. Im September kann das Meer noch bis zu 22 °C warm sein, im April sind es etwa 19 °C. Von Oktober bis März wird es an der Costa de la Luz etwas ruhiger. Das milde Klima bleibt, gleichzeitig sorgt der häufigere Offshore-Wind für besonders schöne Surfbedingungen. Egal ob Sommer oder Winter: Andalusien im Süden Spaniens ist zu jeder Jahreszeit eine Reise wert.

‍

When is the best time to go surfing in Andalusia?

You can generally surf in Andalusia almost all year round. The peak season for surfing in Andalusia is from October to March. During this time, the waves on the Costa de la Luz are particularly consistent, offering great conditions for experienced surfers. In winter, wave heights in Andalusia consistently range between 1.5 and 2 meters. In El Palmar, waves can reach up to 2 meters in winter.

Beginners can also learn to surf in El Palmar year-round. The waves tend to be smaller, especially in summer, making them ideal for those new to surfing. In summer, waves are usually only 0.5 meters high. At the same time, places like El Palmar, Conil, and Los Caños are full of life, the beach bars are open, and you can enjoy long summer evenings by the sea.

The water temperature in winter ranges between 15 and 19 degrees Celsius. In January, the water temperature is 15-16 degrees Celsius. With over 300 days of sunshine and mild weather, Andalusia is definitely one of the most beautiful regions in Europe for a surf trip.

‍

What is the weather like in Andalusia?

The climate in Andalusia is one of the reasons we love this place so much. With around 300 days of sunshine a year, the region is one of the warmest in Spain and is perfect for a seaside getaway almost year-round. It stays pleasantly mild even in winter. Temperatures rarely drop below 60°F (16°C), even in the coldest months. As soon as the sun comes out, it quickly feels much warmer during the day, allowing you to spend plenty of time outdoors even in winter.

In summer, temperatures rise, and the full Spanish summer lifestyle kicks off around Villa Andalucía and El Palmar, with beach days, open-air bars, and long evenings. In September, the sea can still be as warm as 72°F (22°C), while in April it’s around 66°F (19°C). From October to March, things quiet down a bit along the Costa de la Luz. The climate remains mild, and the more frequent offshore winds create excellent surfing conditions.

Two winds play a major role on Spain's southern coast: the Poniente and the Levante. The Poniente comes from the Atlantic in a westerly direction, often bringing cooler, humid air and more moderate conditions. The Levante blows from the east and can become significantly stronger, which can cause conditions along the coast to change quickly.

Whether it's summer or winter, Andalusia in southern Spain is worth a visit at any time of year.

Unlike many traditional surf schools or surf camps in Andalusia, we support you throughout an entire week of surfing, allowing us to focus much more individually on your progress. You will stay with a maximum of 15 guests in our lovingly designed villa, just a few minutes from the ocean. During your week, we head to various surf spots around El Palmar depending on the conditions. This ensures that both beginners and more experienced surfers can find the right waves. At the same time, you will have plenty of time to enjoy the beaches and the surrounding area, relax, or spend time with like-minded people. It is precisely this personal atmosphere and the concept of a full surf week combined with yoga that sets our retreat apart from classic surf camps.
