Surfer's Den Ericeira

On Portugal’s surf-soaked coast in Ericeira (Mafra), a short walk from Fishermen’s Beach, Norte Beach and the Ericeira Municipal Market. Minutes from top surf spots like Praia da Ribeira d'Ilhas and close enough to Mafra National Palace for a day trip. A budget-friendly, family-friendly guesthouse in the center of town.

Surfer’s Den mixes a laid-back surf-house vibe with simple, clean rooms — dorms (including a women-only dorm) and cozy private rooms. Rooms or shared spaces include fridges and microwaves, and guests can use a communal kitchen. The place lists five guestrooms on its profile and closes seasonally from December 1 to February 28.

Soak in an outdoor pool, book onsite massages, or hang out on the terrace and in the garden. There’s an arcade/game room, hair salon, picnic and barbecue areas, children’s playrooms and free parking nearby. Surf classes, board and wetsuit rentals are offered for easy days in the water.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property, multilingual staff, luggage storage and a microwave in a common area. A roundtrip airport shuttle is available 24 hours for a surcharge.

A complimentary buffet breakfast is served daily from 9 AM to 11 AM. Picnic and BBQ areas let you grill your own meals, and the town’s cafes and seafood restaurants are steps away.
