The 8 Best Canary Islands Surf Camp Packages [2026]
We think the Canary Islands have some of the best surf camps in Europe.
They offer a ticket to some of the most swell-rich islands in Europe, and a gateway to surfing spots in a place where solo travelers are often plagued with nasty localism and a lack of knowledge about where actually works when the wind is whichever way (is it east coast or west coast today?).
It wasn’t always the case, but we now think that the Canary camp packages are among the best for beginners in Europe.
That’s mainly thanks to key spots like Famara in Lanza, or Hombre in Gran Canaria (we’ve got options below on both of those).
We’re talking easy, accessible, and consistent beach breaks that shouldn’t scare the heebie-jeebies into first-timers or improvers.
You can add to that the downright lovely vibe of these isles. Holiday meccas one and all, they’ve long been havens of R&R.
The surf camp offering channels that big time. You get lodges with sun-splashed gardens and gurgling swimming pools, chic interiors and stylish suites.
Most are on Lanzarote or Fuerteventura, which makes sense because of the nature of the surf in those places being so beginner friendly and whatnot. Oh yea, and did we mention the weather is pretty much always nice down here?

Surf & Yoga Fuerteventura
- Location: Fuerteventura
- Price: 6 days/5 nights starting at $,102 (£887) per person
The Surf & Yoga crew have been on our radar for a while now, so we were pretty happy to see them pop up again – this time on the sun-blasted island of Fuerteventura, where they’ve set up shop in a spacious, well-kept villa in El Roque, up in the quieter north of the island.
They run a tight selection of 6-day surf camps. The core package includes five nights in the villa, four surf sessions, and all the essentials covered. That means boards, wetsuits, and transport to the best breaks each day, depending on conditions. Lessons are kept small (max 6 surfers per instructor), which really shows in the quality of feedback and progression.
There are a few nice extras thrown in too – a massage during the week, daily breakfasts, group brunches, and shared evening meals that help set the tone.
And that tone is what really elevates this camp. This doesn’t feel like one of those conveyor-belt surf camps where you tick off lessons and disappear back to your room. The hosts are properly sociable, make a real effort to get the group mixing, and create an atmosphere that feels more like a surf holiday with friends, just happening to be based in a very comfortable villa.
Lanzasurf Surf & Yoga Camp, Lanzarote
- Location: Lanzarote
- Price: 7 days/6 nights starting at $551 (£434) per person
We have a lot of love for Lanzasurf Surf & Yoga Camp. These guys make it fun but push you to surf well at the same time.
They’ve also got arguably the best learner location in the whole of the Canary chain – Caleta de Famara and its whole five-kilometer beach break, a spot with waves for all levels, never too busy, and almost totally immune from the localism that plagues these isles.
The instruction quality is clear to see. The daily surf lessons are headed up by Evandro Muñoz, a qualified surf instructor with over 15 years’ teaching experience.
You’ll also meet Dejan, who actually started surfing at Lanzasurf way back in 2006. Fast forward to 2023 and he’s the second instructor at the camp and never fails to ooze passion for Famara, the local breaks, and the sport as a whole.
Days go something like this: Early start, healthy breakfast, 9.45am pickup at the surf house, transport to the break (usually Famara Beach itself, like two minutes’ drive down the road), surfing between 10am and 3pm (yep – five hours!), yoga, and then chill time.
The surf house itself is like a home away from home. It’s not one of those big, fancy lodges with cool interior design. It’s comfy and clean, with shared kitchen spaces and sunny balconies. It feels like being on a surf hol with your mates to be honest.
Surfescape Fuerteventura, Fuerteventura
- Location: Fuerteventura
- Price: 8 days/7 nights starting at $1,243 (£979) per person or $1,734 (£1,322) per couple
Ooooh. We’re really liking the look of the Surfescape Fuerteventura lodge. It’s a large, whitewashed Canarian villa set in the quiet town of Lajares – midway between the two surf coasts of Fuerte.
The garden has a huge swimming pool, good for both lengths and lazing on a lilo. The inside is filled with natural light and done out with clean lines and boho furnishings.
The 8-day/7-night program here bills itself as the luxury option. That’s fair. Everything from the quality of the accommodation to the food, which is served up at the award-winning, veggie-friendly Secret Garden restaurant, is top notch.
But the focus is still very much on surf improvement. Mon-Fri sees a lesson per day, lasting 3-4 hours each.
That tots up to some of the longest sessions of any camp listed here, probably because the camp itself isn’t located near the sea, so you gotta’ pack those rides in when you are at the coast.
On top of the surf, there’s a bucket-list volcano hike and free access to a fantastic on-site co-work space. It’s an all-round super comfy option if you like the enjoy something a bit extra.
Endless Summer Vibes, Tenerife
Endless Summer Vibes Hostel, Tenerife/HostelWorld- Location: Tenerife
- Price: Deals start at $704 (£522) for seven nights and eight days
There are ringing reviews almost across the board for this relative newcomer to Tenerife – it scores 4.9/5 on Google, and the same over on Booksurcamps, where it’s among the leading bookings in the whole of the Canaries islands.
We can see why.
It’s about balance.
They do loads of surfing, which is great, because that’s what you came for, right? Sessions are daily and run by in-house surf coach Mateo. Usually, you’ll get onto the versatile breaks of Playa de las Americas, which have something for all levels and a nice buzz about them (they don’t tend to be overly localized like other spots in the Canaries).
That’s just half the story, though. Past visitors love the sunset yoga sessions that take place on the camp rooftop, and the uber-social atmosphere. This isn’t a corporate surf camp like you get in some places; everyone will gather for beers and BBQs when the evening sets in.
If you want something chilled, solid surf tuition, and just good vibes all round, this one has you covered. The top option on Tenerife for the coming year.
High Voltage Adventure, Gran Canaria
- Location: Gran Canaria
- Price: 8 days/7 nights starting at $600 (£472) per person
For something that’s super high-adrenaline and packed with fun, Gran Canaria’s High Voltage Adventure can hardly be beaten.
Run by artist and surfer Mariano Reynot out of Buenos Aires, the lodge sits right above the long, sweeping bay of Playa del Hombre on the island’s east coast. That’s essentially a factory for peaky beach breaks and a mecca for beginner riding. Rest assured you’ll have surf from the get-go to the very end.
A truly unique space, High Voltage Adventure offers up five separate private rooms and a dorm space (which costs less).
The whole place is done out in moody dark paints and has the owner’s trademark art on the walls. You’ll see that roaring slab out of Hawaii painted on the walls if you check into the Jaws room, for example. In Maui, the LED lights bring an aloha vibe, and the balcony offers head-on views of the Atlantic.
The program is very surf heavy, most of which takes place on Hombre beach itself. The most dedicated warriors among you could surf up to six hours a day if you want, though in our experience around four hours is the limit on surf camps. Hey ho, better more than too little, eh?
Line Up Surf Camp, Fuerteventura
- Location: Fuerteventura
- Price: 8 days/7 nights starting at $346 (£272) per person
Line Up Surf Camp is perhaps the only Canary Islands surf camp that offers twin-discipline programs that balance surfing and kitesurfing alongside each other.
Basically, just notify them of what it is you’re into the most before you book and they’ll tailor your package to ensure it’s surf-heavy or kite-heavy.
That’s the first upside. The other upside is just how intimate and small they keep the groups. There are just eight rooms on offer here, which means surf lessons usually have a great ratio between teachers and pupils.
In fact, they aim to offer one-on-one feedback to everyone most days, to help you hone in on the specifics of your pop up and stance and whatnot.
The surf lodge is found just on the outskirts of Corralejo, the main resort on the east coast of the island. It’s a cool little Canarian townhouse with its own decked garden, hot tub, and BBQ chillout space. Really nice vibe and great for getting a taste of kitesurfing if you want it.
Dreamsea Surf House Fuerteventura, Fuerteventura
- Location: Fuerteventura
- Price: Deals start at $350 (£368) for four nights
The best option for a book-it-yourself surf camp in the Canaries has to be Dreamsea Surf House Fuerteventura. These guys don’t come at you with a fully organized package like the other options here. They just do accommodation and breakfast. Then, you add however many surf lessons and trips you like when you arrive.
Those surf trips run every day. They last four hours apiece and are run by local experts who always know where will be working the best on the island, able to match it to the level of different groups and surfers.
Now, the camp: A picture of Spanish relaxation. Imagine a whitewashed cottage with red-tiled roofs, a garden woven together by cobbled paths and shaded by palm trees, and interiors with rattan chairs and minimalist rooms. It’s downright gorgeous and great for couples.
Dharmana’s Yoga & Surf, Tenerife
- Location: Tenerife (but the less-touristy part)
- Price: Deals start at $1,559 (£1,222) for seven days
Dharmana’s Yoga & Surf is a real get-away-from-it-all sort of camp. The focus, just as the name implies, is on pose practice and surfing. But it’s not just about doing yoga in the morning and then heading out for a surf.
Camp leader Nasthasia also works to reveal the deeper secrets of how practices like Yin and Hatha yoga can dovetail with surf and really help you be better on the waves.
Of course, there’s yoga and surf every day of the week, bar Sundays and the arrival day, which are set aside for chilling.
Remember we mentioned that this is the get-away-from-it-all option? Well…that’s largely down to the location.
Forget the buzzing resort strips of Playa Americas (where more of the main Tenerife camps are located). Dharmana’s surf house is a charming Canarian villa only 100m back from the beach in the lovely age-old fishing village of Punta del Hidalgo. AKA proper off-the-beaten-path Tenerife!
(One thing to note: This retreat is for couples and women only)
