There are holidays \u2013 and then there are places you keep coming back to. Places that don\u2019t feel like a hotel, but like a second home. For many who\u2019ve been here once, our Mellowmove Surfcamp in Ericeira,<\/a> Portugal, has become exactly that. And if you\u2019re wondering why, here are seven good reasons why you might soon be saying: \u201cThis is my home by the sea.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

1. Because Ericeira is more than just a pretty fishing village<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Ericeira isn\u2019t just another stretch of Portugal\u2019s coastline \u2013 it\u2019s Europe\u2019s only official World Surfing Reserve<\/strong><\/a>. But don\u2019t worry: you don\u2019t have to be a pro to feel at home here. The town blends traditional charm with top-quality yet beginner-friendly waves and a laid-back surf scene that welcomes everyone. It\u2019s one of Portugal\u2019s coolest places to be. And just outside the town, perfectly tucked between the buzz and the breeze? That\u2019s where you\u2019ll find our camp \u2013 the ideal balance of calm and connection. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

2. Because you'll learn to surf without bending over backwards (except on the board)<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

At Mellowmove, we believe surf lessons should be fun, not frustrating. That\u2019s why we keep our class sizes small and our coaching personal. No military drills, no pressure \u2013 just skilled, supportive instructors<\/a> <\/strong>who meet you at your level and help you progress step by step. Whether you’re riding your first wave or pushing your turns, you’ll feel challenged but never overwhelmed. And the only time you\u2019ll be doing yoga-style contortions? On your board, chasing the ride of your life.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

3. Because here, you stay your way \u2013 with an ocean view<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Our camp isn\u2019t a hostel. And it\u2019s definitely not a wellness retreat. It\u2019s a place with character that gives you space to just be yourself. Whether you prefer a double room, apartment, or dorm \u2013 you choose how much privacy or community you\u2019re in the mood for.<\/a><\/strong> All of it wrapped in a stylish, lovingly designed setting with a lush garden, pool, chill-out terrace \u2013 and that breathtaking sea view.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

4. Because yoga & surfing go together better than you think<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

It may sound like a clich\u00e9, but it\u2019s true: surfing and yoga are a dream team.<\/a><\/strong> Not just for your body and balance, but also for your mind. Our yoga teacher Adriano knows exactly what surfers need \u2013 whether it\u2019s to kickstart your day or unwind after a session. And if you\u2019ve never tried it before: give it a shot. Your muscles and coordination will thank you for it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

5. Because great food is simply part of the experience<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Surfing makes you hungry \u2013 and not just for any snack, but for real, fresh food. That\u2019s why we offer varied, healthy cuisine<\/a> <\/strong>with vegetarian and vegan options that aren\u2019t just \u201cokay,\u201d but truly delicious and full of nutrients to fuel your body. Ready-made products are off the table \u2013 everything is freshly cooked. And if you\u2019re still craving something after the meal: Our small bar serves drinks, great conversations, and on some days, you can enjoy it all with a bonfire on the terrace.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

6. Because you'll meet people who think just like you<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Traveling solo? As a couple? With friends? It doesn\u2019t matter \u2013 in the camp, a sense of community quickly forms that you can\u2019t plan for. Maybe it\u2019s the atmosphere, maybe it\u2019s the salty air. One thing\u2019s for sure: Here, it\u2019s not just about surfing together, but also laughing, chilling, and sometimes philosophizing late into the night about surfing and the world. Many who come here leave with new friendships in tow. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

7. Because in the end, you'll stay \u2013 or come back.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

It’s hard to say exactly what it is. The scent of sunscreen and neoprene? The morning sun on your yoga mat? The first green wave you truly ride? Or simply the feeling of having arrived. Many guests come back. Some stay longer than planned. <\/strong> And they all say, “This was more than just a surf holiday.”<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Conclusion: Mellowmove is not just a place. It's home by the sea! <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
