Noah Surf House Portugal
Santa Cruz, Portugal
Whimsical boutique hotel on Portugal’s west coast with ocean views, stellar amenities, and easy access to surf.
Price from: $3,250 PP for a 7-Night Surf Trip
Perched alongside a wide stretch of beach with views of the Atlantic, Noah Surf House Portugal is an eco-friendly design-forward hotel with a long list of surfer-friendly amenities that take this place to the next level. We’re talking an on-site skatepark, surf shop, yoga studio, and ocean view jacuzzi, to name a few.
Located in the small low-key town of Santa Cruz, about 30 minutes north of Ericeira and an hour’s drive from Lisbon, Noah Surf House has the advantage of being in a wave-rich area that’s much less known than the famous Portuguese surf hubs like Ericeira and Peniche.
While you couldn’t declare the area ‘undiscovered’ per se (it’s a stop on the WSL Qualifying Series), there’s definitely a lot less tourism, fewer visitors, and fewer surfers than other Portuguese surfing hotspots, meaning generally less crowds in and out of the water.
Noah Surf House is a welcome addition to the charming village of Santa Cruz. The 8 guest rooms and 13 bungalows have a unique modern design, and the different room types feature highlights like ocean views, fireplaces, outdoor showers, surfboard racks, and private kitchens.
With an amazing location, easy access to uncrowded surf, creative sustainable design, and all the surf amenities a surf traveler could ask for, Noah Surf House is a choice place to stay to explore the abundant waves of Portugal’s west coast.

Features
Inside
The rooms are whimsical and inspired by the sea. Weathered mismatched wood, fishing nets, and ropes are combined with earthy tones and modern elements like polished concrete and plush beds. Following their sustainability policy, aerothermal energy heats the floors and ocean breeze cools the rooms.
Outside
Situated above Praia da FÃsica right in town, the Surf House has large open terraces for lounging, an outdoor solar heated pool (between April and October), outdoor jacuzzi, surf shop, surf school, yoga studio, gym, and skate park. Enjoy the sun-filled decks for post-surf chill time, sunset cocktails, or a nightcap around an evening bonfire.
Eat & Drink
The on-site restaurant and cocktail bar are top-notch. Rooted in Portuguese cuisine, the menu takes inspiration from around the world with flavors from the Middle East, Japan, the Mediterranean, and beyond. For a beach-side bite, it’s a close walk to sister restaurant Noah Beach House which sits right on the sand at Praia da FÃsica.
The Surf
Portugal’s west coast is full of beautiful beaches with quality surf. Located almost midway between Ericeira (25 km south) and Peniche (35 km north), Santa Cruz is much quieter than its famous surf hub neighbors, making the waves a lot less crowded. Around Santa Cruz, you’ll find 11 local breaks (mostly beach breaks) that work best in small to moderate swells. The area is known for being relatively consistent, but if the local breaks aren’t working, there are many breaks to explore along the coast between Ericeira and Peniche.
