The Surfcastle is a boutique hotel and surf school which stands proud on the cliffs of the Peniche peninsula overlooking one of Europe's most beautiful and consistent surf spots. A place you can enjoy even on those rare days the surf is down.

The aesthetic, say our guests, is "shabby chic"; the vibe "informal, relaxed fun-loving... the ideal place to enjoy a surfing holiday in Portugal."

Our house was built in 1920 as a traditional Portuguese family retreat and remains the most architecturally spectacular and comfortable property in the area. Its grand rooms and grounds not only offer stunning panoramic views of the Silver Coast but the perfect place to kick back and relax with family and friends and enjoy a fully rounded surf holiday.

From Lisbon: Take the A8 in the direction of Leiria (partial toll road), drive for 40 minutes and take the exit nº14 to Peniche. Enter the IP6 and follow the directions to Peniche. Take the first exit on the 3rd roundabout to Baleal. After 5 minutes of driving along the dunes, you will see the ocean on your left-hand side and the Surfcastle right in front of you. The big white house with a black roof right on the beach.
