Community
We love the digital nomad's lifestyle.
One adventurous digital nomad stayed in our camp for a couple of months to optimize his work-life balance. During those winters, new friendships were built, and lots of work experience was shared while co-working in the camp. Encouraged by the growing digital nomad community in Lagos, which attracts every winter dozens of free-minded people to co-work and surf, we decided to focus our winter efforts on creating a co-living community at our camp.
We are looking forward to many new friendships and new experiences to be shared here.

About Albardeira , Lagos
The surf house is located on a quiet, green area just outside of Lagos, above Meia Praia beach.

Lagos, an ancient marine town, is one of the most visited cities in the Algarve due to its renowned beaches, incredible rock formations, great variety of hotels, bars, restaurants and spirited summer nightlife. Our colivers can wander the alleys and streets of the Old Town, visit historical sites, explore the beach, see dolphins and take boat trips.
