Seeking eco-accommodation that feels more like a home than a hotel? Since 2011, we've run on one simple idea: good waves, good people and a place that feels connected to the land around it. This is surfing and yoga done differently.

Seeking eco-accommodation that feels more like a home than a hotel? Since 2011, we've run on one simple idea: good waves, good people and a place that feels connected to the land around it. This is surfing and yoga done differently.
Feel like the weeks are blurring together? Is life moving too fast? Getting tired of the same routine? If yes, Maceda is exactly what you need:
Chase waves, clear your mind and feel fully alive again! Learning to surf has never been so fun or so easy.
Yoga for all levels. Equipment for everyone. All you need to bring is good vibes and a love for nature.
Surrounded by forest and ocean, Maceda Surf Camp is an intimate gathering of surfers and nature lovers sharing uncrowded waves, delicious meals and fun evenings together. More than guests and staff, we’re a small surf family run by Porto’s first surf school, SURFING LIFE CLUB, under the guidance of first generation Portuguese surfer and former competitor João Diogo.
I'm João Diogo. I grew up surfing these waves and started Maceda Surf Camp in 2011 out of a love for nature, simple living and real connection. Teaching surfing, sharing meals and swapping stories has always been at the heart of this place.
Born and raised in the Porto area, I feel deeply connected to the ocean and nature. I love to create meaningful experiences through yoga and community.
I have a lifelong passion for surfing that drives me every day. I love to pass on my knowledge in the water.
People-first. Always! I love surfing and the beach life that comes with it. I also grew up near Maceda, and I love travelling and bringing that energy into every guest experience.
I'm your first point of contact via messages. If you need anything, let me know 😊 I moved here for the love of surfing and fell in love with Maceda after!
You'll find me most happy at the BBQ, preparing fish or veggies for you. I'm here to help you with whatever you need during your stay.
Since 2011, we've been doing the same simple thing well: creating a place people genuinely want to come back to.
