Bahia Surf Camp offers an amazing location, skilled and engaging instructors, and three meals a day with great tasting food and a social environment with fellow visitors. The atmosphere is great and it was perfect for me as a solo traveler to be in a social setting. I recommend the camp and I would like to go again.

This place was the perfect piece of paradise I was looking for. So much so, that I extended my stay to 6 weeks AND THEN came back a month later to stay more. I’ll break it down in a little more detail: Food: you get 3 amazing meals per day and they accommodate to all types of eaters. You eat in a communal area with everyone which is great for socializing. Accommodation: super comfy beds, great A/C, amazing wifi (I was working while there), hot showers, and a lot of privacy if you want it. Activities: there’s so much to do there such as (obviously) surfing, skateboarding, paddle boarding, slack line, yoga, billiards, ping pong, and much more. Mauricio and Beto will give you amazing instructions if you don’t know how to do any of it. Location: you’re on a private beach in a private condominium yet only a short uber ride away from Salvador. It’s perfect. The beach feels untouched and there is quite a lot of nature to be seen. Staff: the people that work there are truly what make it great. It felt like home to me because they really treat you like family. Saying bye to everyone that works there was the hardest part for me. Staying here absolutely made my trip and I will 100% be returning in the future.…

I had the most amazing 2 weeks at Bahia Surf Camp. In fact, I came for one week but had to extend for one more - this is how great this place is. I am so grateful to all the people working there: they are very friendly and they put their souls in what they do. Rita, Michelle and everyone in the kitchen cook the most delicious healthy meals; Jeff, Natal, and others are taking extremely good care of the property; and Beto the owner makes all of this possible. But most of all I am thankful to Mauricio for being the best surf teacher I've ever met. I came there without an intention to surf after being traumatized by my previous injury and bad experiences, but after I saw how they teach classes I gave it a try. They pay so much attention to details, having some of the lessons on the lake nearby to practice paddling, jumpstart, turtle - I've never been to such rigid classes before. Thanks to Mauricio's attention and kindness I started doing green waves after just a few classes, which I didn't believe would be ever possible again. This experience has changed me, both as a surfer and as a person. Also a shoutout to Ludmila for providing thoughtful and restorative yoga sessions and Magno for the best massage ever. On a side note, the camp has very high security and a beautiful private beach, where most of the time we were the only people. The territory is green and well taken care of, room had everything we needed and a terrace. To top it off, the location has biodiversity including turtles, and seeing baby turtles hatching on the beach was one of the highlights. I absolutely loved this place and I hope I will be back soon <3…

Had a wonderful stay at Bahia surf camp. Learnt loads to help improve my surfing, from my pop up to wave selection - so big thank you to Beto, Mauricio and Leo. The food was fantastic thanks to Rita, and frankly we were spoiled for choice during our stay. The location is perfect with a beach right in front of the camp, and we were lucky to go on a few surf trips to nearby beaches too. Overall, I would highly recommend it - even as a solo traveller as it was a great place to meet people!

Had an amazing time at the surf camp. I’d never been to a place so we’ll designed and with everything you would want - 50 meters from the beach, a pool, yoga, skate bowl, slack line, standup paddle boarding… The owner Beto and his family are super nice and helpful. Beto and the other surf coaches give very personalized advice and I made huge improvements in my surfing in just a few days. The food was incredible, cooked by an amazing chef named Rita. Overall a great time

We had a wonderful week at Bahia Surf Camp! The place has a special charm, an invigorating energy! While my son took surf lessons, my husband and I enjoyed the paradise beach. The instructors (Mauricio and Fernando) were great. They do everything to make us learn the right technique! If the tide is not good, no problem, they took us to another beach! The surf camp is fantastic, located on a private beach and has everything you need: enough chill areas with hammocks, a bar, a pool, a gym, a skateboard track, a game zone (table tennis, table football and billiards). If you want, there are also yoga classes, which make the day perfect Meals are a separate chapter. They are served in a half-open area, which provides contact with other guests, and thus facilitates great conversations at the end of the day! The food is very healthy and delicious! Dona Rita strives to meet the wishes of each guest with great care and attention to detail! In short, a wonderful place, a wonderful stay, with a staff that does everything to make us feel at home! We will be back for sure! …

Amazing place, great people, Mauricio the surf instructor gives precise advice and points out bad habits very well, Fernando the other instructor is also very good and helps a lot with his teachings. I made good progress during my stay. The accommodation was good and the food made with love by the lovely Rita. You also get to see cool animals and nice nature right by the camp.

I really enjoyed my time at Bahia Surf Camp that‘s why I didn't want to leave this place. Besides the very good surf lessons and the great yoga class, I had an incredibly good and varied time. I especially took Mauricio to my heart, who was not only totally structured but always took good care of all the guests, and Rita, who cooked incredibly delicious and healthy food. In addition, Magno's massage was the best I have ever had. So it is definitely worth coming here and I will definitely come back. Kim :)
