Family surf holiday in Spain: El Palmar, Andalusia
A surf holiday designed for the whole family.
On our family surf holiday everyone surfs at their own pace. Children aged 5 to 11 take private lessons with their own instructor: from 5 to 8 we recommend one-to-one, and from 8 to 11 they can share with brothers, sisters or friends, with a maximum of 4 children per instructor. At the same time, parents can join a group lesson (max. 8 people) or share a family private lesson.
El Palmar is an 8 km sandy beach with no rocks or reefs, perfect for kids to start surfing safely. You stay 100 m from the sea, with private rooms, a communal kitchen and a terrace, and the surf school is open every day from 9:00 to 21:00. We teach in English, Spanish, German, French and Italian.
