If someone yelled \u201csurf\u2019s up!\u201d the place would empty in seconds. The very picture of happy-go-lucky hippies on the hunt for a good time and a great wave. Apocryphal as that story may be, it&#8217;s nevertheless the perfect encapsulation of our idea of surf culture. 5,000 miles and 60 years later, the founders of <a style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/a-dos-cunhados-hotels\/noah-surf-house-portugal?utm_source=agenda&amp;utm_medium=page&amp;utm_campaign=way_beyond_the_waves\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Noah Surf House<\/a> have set out to replicate it.<\/p>\n<p>Noah Surf House opened in 2018, on a strip of beach on the coast of Portugal. Hotel aficionados took immediate notice. Reviewers called it an \u201cinstant hit.\u201d Travelers from around the world began flocking to it. Impressive for an establishment that seems so niche \u2014 and that has the most intimidating sport in the world right there in its name. But it\u2019s not just surfing here. And Noah is not just for hardcore surfers.<\/p>\n<p>In reality, Noah Surf House is one of Tablet\u2019s most family-friendly hotels. The &#8220;surf&#8221; in the name could just as easily refer to literal ocean spray from the North Atlantic. Everything here is coated in seaside symbols. Fishing nets drape the surfaces and octopus traps hang inconspicuously here and there throughout the public spaces. Outlying cubist bungalows reflect the ocean like sea glass, and touches of wood add the flair of a snack shack on the local beach. Never has a hotel looked so positively giddy to find itself by the waves. Guests are cordially invited to feel the same way.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 970px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.prod.r53.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/20230204\/Exterior.jpg\" alt=\"Noah Surf House\" width=\"970\" height=\"auto\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Book <a style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/a-dos-cunhados-hotels\/noah-surf-house-portugal?utm_source=agenda&amp;utm_medium=page&amp;utm_campaign=way_beyond_the_waves\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Noah Surf House<\/a> on Tablet Hotels.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cNot all our guests are just surfers,\u201d the hotel assures Tablet. \u201cBut they share enthusiasm for this lifestyle \u2014 a relaxed atmosphere where you can meet and get to know people from all over the world, who come with the same spirit and the same willingness to dive in.\u201d The Noah lifestyle goes way beyond the waves to include cliffside trekking and bike rentals, on-the-water yoga called \u201cliquid balance,\u201d and even a skatepark. The infinity pool, solar deck, jacuzzi, trampolines, and restaurant\/cocktail bar\/snack bar provide even more worldly thrills. And there\u2019s perhaps no better mascot for the culture than the nightly get together around the fire, where everyone\u2019s invited to gather with a glass of wine and sing along with the guitar.

Surfing enthusiasts will instantly note that it&#8217;s about 80km south of Nazar\u00e9, the modern-day mecca of big wave riding. Both towns are set within the Costa da Prata, or Silver Coast, a strip of shoreline between Porto and Lisbon that can uncontroversially call itself one of the most beautiful stretches of beach in the world. The region hasn&#8217;t totally blown up yet, but its popularity is rapidly expanding. Hotels like Noah are not only happy to host, they&#8217;re helping to generate the interest.<\/p>\n<p>Surfing is available at the hotel, to state the obvious. Incredible waves and instructors provide lessons for all levels of experience. In truth, it seems a shame to visit Noah Surf House and not attempt at least one ride. There may be no friendlier place to make the leap. Either way, the hotel&#8217;s design, architecture, and emphasis on the active is welcoming and irresistible. No, you don\u2019t have to surf when you\u2019re here. But you&#8217;ll have no trouble leaning into the spirit.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.prod.r53.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/20230204\/Surfing.jpg\" alt=\"Noah Surf House\" width=\"970\" height=\"auto\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.prod.r53.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/20230204\/Room-1.jpg\" alt=\"Noah Surf House\" width=\"970\" height=\"auto\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.prod.r53.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/20230204\/room6-1.jpg\" alt=\"Noah Surf House\" width=\"970\" height=\"auto\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 970px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.prod.r53.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/20230204\/roomtall-1.jpg\" alt=\"Noah Surf House\" width=\"970\" height=\"auto\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Book <a style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/a-dos-cunhados-hotels\/noah-surf-house-portugal?utm_source=agenda&amp;utm_medium=page&amp;utm_campaign=way_beyond_the_waves\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Noah Surf House<\/a> on Tablet Hotels.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>Nuts &amp; Bolts<\/h4>\n<p><em>A bite-sized breakdown of your most frequently asked questions.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Why this hotel and why here?<\/strong><br \/>\nThey call it Magic Land. Locals do, that is, like the hotel\u2019s owners \u2014 Marta and Goncalo \u2014 born and raised here. Santa Cruz isn\u2019t exactly unknown in Portugal, but it hasn\u2019t made the complete transformation to tourist magnet like some of the more popular villages on the Atlantic Coast. The hotel describes the \u201cunchanged, raw vibe\u201d of their setting \u2014 a place where demography combines with geography for wide, remote beaches.<\/p>\n<p>In short, \u201cwaves without crowds\u201d on a stretch of coast about an hour\u2019s drive from Lisbon. Most guests stay about three to four days.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who comes here (and are you sure they don\u2019t all know how to surf)?<\/strong><br \/>\nWe\u2019re sure, but it\u2019s paradise if you want to learn. Those who find this little surf hotel in Santa Cruz don\u2019t all come for the surfing, but it\u2019s safe to say most come for the active lifestyle. Like we said above, there\u2019s cliffside trekking and bike rentals, \u201cliquid balance\u201d yoga, and even a skatepark. And the infinity pool, solar deck, jacuzzi, trampolines, restaurant and cocktail bar allow for less active activities. \u201cSince the beginning the vision was to create much more than just a place where people stay to surf or learn to surf,\u201d the hotel tells Tablet. In other words, it\u2019s a vibe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When\u2019s the best time to visit?<\/strong><br \/>\nSeasonal swings in temperatures aren\u2019t so extreme in Portugal, and the beaches around Santa Cruz aren\u2019t known for their masses of tourists \u2014 so you\u2019re safe to visit in any season. As far as surfing, the hotel swears that on the Costa da Prata (the Silver Coast), \u201cevery month of the year is good,\u201d and everything just depends on the conditions of the ocean. But \u201cnormally our sea has excellent surfing conditions all year round, with waves for all levels.\u2028\u201d Looking for the biggest waves? Time your visit between September and April, particularly December through February.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best room for a solo traveler? A couple? A family?<\/strong><br \/>\nThere are eight rooms in the main hotel building and thirteen outlying bungalows at Noah Surf House. The bungalows, away from the main attractions, are cozier and more private \u2014 good options for couples or solo travelers. In the main building, the Terra Rooms lack a sea view but feature a terrace or garden, and can fit up to six or eight people, the larger option including the kid-beloved bunk beds (accessed by ladders). The Mar &amp; Cook Bungalows are also worth mentioning \u2014 for up to four people, with sea views and fully equipped kitchens.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.prod.r53.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/20230204\/Skateboarding.jpg\" alt=\"Noah Surf House\" width=\"970\" height=\"auto\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.prod.r53.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/20230204\/Yoga.jpg\" alt=\"Noah Surf House\" width=\"970\" height=\"auto\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.prod.r53.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/20230204\/dinner-1.jpg\" alt=\"Noah Surf House\" width=\"970\" height=\"auto\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 970px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.prod.r53.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/20230204\/ocean-1.1.jpg\" alt=\"Noah Surf House\" width=\"970\" height=\"auto\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Book <a style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/a-dos-cunhados-hotels\/noah-surf-house-portugal?utm_source=agenda&amp;utm_medium=page&amp;utm_campaign=way_beyond_the_waves\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Noah Surf House<\/a> on Tablet Hotels.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s a design feature I would miss if you didn&#8217;t tell me about it?<\/strong><br \/>\nRecycling is literally an art here. This site was once a holiday camp for local children, and the former building\u2019s been preserved in a number of ways. Old pipes serve as lamps, a water deposit makes for a fireplace by reception, bricks from an industrial coal furnace are put to use as wall covering, and an entire wall was preserved to avoid new construction. Even the storage lockers from the previous building were recovered and featured here.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s there to eat?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe hotel restaurant doubles as cocktail bar and snack bar. All welcome features of a place like this. The main menu takes Portuguese cuisine as a starting point and incorporates Japanese and Mediterranean flavors for a wide range of dishes. Everything&#8217;s sourced as locally as possible, with plenty of fresh seafood as well as vegetables from the hotel&#8217;s organic garden based on season. A second restaurant, formerly on the beachside, has recently closed \u2014 the hotel is planning to redirect that energy towards a refresh of the main restaurant in 2023.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tell us about sustainability.<\/strong><br \/>\nThe project was centered on the idea of harmony with the environment, using cork for natural insulation and placing local plants on the bungalows\u2019 garden rooftops. Solar panels generate seventy percent of all hot water for the showers and taps, and the interior design itself revolves around recycling of old materials in a genuinely creative way (see above). And we\u2019re always impressed when a hotel restaurant uses vegetables from its own organic garden.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s the final word?<\/strong><br \/>\nSurfing can be intimidating, there\u2019s no doubt. Noah Surf House aims to make it a friendly \u2014 even family friendly \u2014 pursuit. And if you\u2019re not interested in riding the waves, there\u2019s plenty of other activities on offer, like hiking or stand-up-paddle yoga. The design alone should put you in the mood for the beach. \u25aa<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<em>Book <a style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/a-dos-cunhados-hotels\/noah-surf-house-portugal?utm_source=agenda&amp;utm_medium=page&amp;utm_campaign=way_beyond_the_waves\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Noah Surf House<\/a> on Tablet Hotels.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.prod.r53.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/20230204\/couple-1.jpg\" alt=\"Noah Surf House\" width=\"970\" height=\"auto\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><br \/>\n<div style=\"height:1px;border-top:3px double #ccc;margin-top:30px;margin-bottom:60px;display:block;clear:both\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An hour down the Portuguese coast from the legendary break at Nazar\u00e9, Noah Surf House is creating its own nucleus of surf culture.
