Lapoint Surf Camps Fuerteventura

Stayed with Lapoint mid March and had THE BEST time🌞 Our hosts were greatttt and food was unreal! It was my first solo trip and I felt very safe and welcomed :) Surf skate was awesome both instructors were super good, and really helped me when I was looking to buy a board!!! Surfing was INCREDIBLE, Alessio was our group instructor and was so knowledgeable, music taste was also 10/10 lol. He also did our E bike tour which was great!! Yoga was also AMAZING, no class was the same and Erika was an awesome instructor. Thank you for an unforgettable week🫶🏄‍♀️🌴

The hosts Elisa, Mimi, and Mira are absolute sweethearts and make this camp perfect! I had such a great time with them. The rooms are clean, but the bathrooms are definitely in need of an upgrade. Ours was wet all day after anyone showered. And we only had hot water once. Now, I don't mind cold showers, but it's nice to have a warm shower after surfing and it's raining. The surfing lessons were really great! I really enjoyed myself and learned a lot. The food was good too!

The Hosts Are super Nice, I had a lot of fun with Mimi and Elisa. Also, the yoga is very good, I loved it. Most importantly, the surf Training was very good. The Trainer always had a eye on the safety and progress of our group. The Rooms were Nice, but in our dorm the shower was lacking and the ground was wet all the time. Also only half of us could shower warm. All in all, I would Like to come back someday. Thank you to the staff. They made the experience as lovely as it was. Jasmin

The camp has so much potential, but unfortunately, the experience is marred by the abysmal infrastructure. We only had hot water briefly once in a week, and the power went out several times. At times, water even came back up from the drain. The beds/mattresses wobbled and squeaked. It's a real shame because the team is great, the food is wonderful, the surf instructors are excellent, and of course, the other campers are great too.

Hello, I just finished a stay at the Fuerteventura Surf Camp. I had a great week, but there are a few things you should know if you're thinking of attending this type of camp. The setting is lovely, and the sports activities are good (surfing, surfskating, short hikes). There's a great atmosphere in the villa. The food is good, but the portions can be small. If you're used to having a dessert (cheese and dessert), you might be hungry. There's no dessert, just a main course. Breakfast is excellent. There are two villas: Laola, which is in good condition, and Lapoint, which could use some interior renovation. The dorm shower is dirty, and the water is cold. There can be power outages. There's mold, and an unpleasant smell in the bathroom. There's no air conditioning! The furniture needs replacing. Fuerteventura is a volcanic island and somewhat desert-like. Expect sand to get in the rooms if the window is left open. The manager is practically nonexistent. She leaves all the management work to girls who could be called activity leaders. They aren't really "activity leaders." They bring us food and keep an eye on things. Thanks to them for compensating for the manager's absence. If you're going there for surfing and nothing else, you're in the right place. If you're looking for a bit more comfort, you won't find it. Nevertheless, I had a good week. These details are here so you have as much information as possible. Matthieu

I loved it here!! 10/10 would recommend! Good food, nice dorm with spacious bathroom, lovely people and amazing surf lessons. The atmosphere was super relaxed and the people working there were really kind and chill. It was really easy to meet new people here as a solo traveller!

Lapoint Fuerteventura is the ideal winter escape as it’s just a short flight from Europe yet offering sun, warm weather, and waves. The camp has everything: pools, surf skate areas, and plenty of chill spaces, all near great surf spots. Activities such as hiking the nearby volcano or sharing a paella night brought everyone together for good times. The camp’s design makes it super easy to meet new people, giving the whole place a fun, social, and welcoming vibe.

Everything was perfect apart from three things. Our surf instructor (Mirko, which we don’t recommend at all), that the floor of the rooms could have been cleaned too when they did the bathroom and that the beds were very creaky. The hosts were great, very friendly! The location was also very close to the local town and the grocery shop. They take food restrictions very seriously and the meals were always very very delicious. The camp manager was very attentive with our complaints and worries about our surf instructor, so that was nice. My partner had an extra surf session on the last day with an amazing instructor and learnt more than what we did the whole week. Thanks Julian! We loved the extra activities, yoga, surf skate & the E bike tour. Oh, it’s not very easy to get a taxi to find the camp, so make sure you book it with a lot of anticipation or the day before. We loved the people we were with and would definitely recommend. Definitely bring ear plugs.

The other camp guests were totally fun and not everything about this camp is bad but here is why I wouldn’t recommend it or at least prepare you so you don’t get disappointed (my boyfriend and I had a double room in the Lapoint house) some of the following things would be easily fixed but nobody really cares or notices: - you can’t lock your room, there is no place to safely store your belongings - the interior is super cheap, our beds were broken and extremely squeaky - the walls are so thin you can hear everything (big minus when your room is right next to the common area where everyone hangs around before going to bed so either bring earplugs or be prepared to stay up until everyone else is in bed) - we were supposed to have a private bathroom but the girls in the room next to us could enter our bathroom as well - there were cockroaches in our bathroom, the water drainage didn’t work in our sink and the room was only cleaned once (also means that the sanitary waste is only taken out once, which is really unpleasant when you have your period and the wastebin doesn’t even have a lid, so I ended up talking out some trash by myself) - there is almost never warm water to shower, twice there was no water at all for like 30-60 min - lunch and dinner was good and they take allergies and restrictions seriously but you’re often not full from the amount you are allowed to take, (breakfast is a nice buffet though where you can take as much as you want) - quiet hour is 22:00 but some days even the people that work there don’t follow their own rules (in our last night some of the socail hosts were partying with the camp guests and came back at 2 am, they kept us awake until they were done eating and talking in the kitchen next to our room) - our surf coach was really nice and super chill but except for the fact that he is driving you to the beach there is not that much you get taught (experiences may vary depending on the surf group you are in but renting a surfboard for a couple of hours and just trying by yourself probably has the same learning effect, that was even recommended by another coach especially for those that are not first timers anymore and just want to advance their skills) - some surfboards are pretty damaged, also my boyfriend never found a wetsuit in L that did not have any holes in it - overall it seemed like some people that work there are not convinced themselves that this is a good camp (they don’t even mind sharing what they don’t like about the work there…especially confusing when they start complaining about guests)…I mean yes we Iiked the chill laid back vibe and that everyone is very open and approachable and for the most part we had friendly interactions but things there are just a little too chaotic and unprofessional

I stayed for a week at Lapoint Fuerteventura and I enjoyed my stay. The group was nice and I made some really cool friends. The food was amazing too. After the surf lessons there are also plenty of other activities to do, so you'll never be bored. However, there are some things that could be improved. For the first two days I had a surf instructor who was very rude to our group (Simone), as he made some condescending comments about our level of surfing. This has been addressed multiple times already, but nothing was being done about it. My other instructor Jolan was amazing though. Furthermore, the wetsuits were full of holes and were worn out completely, therefore I was really cold in the water all the time. And as an axtra activity I booked the Lobos tour, but we had to pay the taxi ourselves and we got the same worn out wetsuits. For the high price that we paid, I did expect better quality. |The camp itself was very nice and quiet, there is a skate park where you can rent surf skates. There is also a skate lesson included which is nice, as well as 3 yoga sessions. The staff was really friendly too.

All staff is Swedish, they speak loud and even shout at each other very loud in Swedish. It felt like I'm in a holiday house of Swedish people. Toilets are only in rooms, you can't use any other bathroom. In a room of 6 people there was only one shower and one toilet. After surf you have to wait for hours until everyone gets a shower. Shower was clogged but no one fixed it even after complain. We had to use our towels to mop the floor. Most of people in camp were french speaking, it was hard to socialise. Surf coach was great, surf lessons, airport transfer and food were the only things that were good in this camp. However I think one or two dinners could be organised in town. Eating all the time in camp is boring. After 3 days towels were changed but not bed sheets. Not enough power sockets in room. We had only one for 2 beds, but 2 power sockets were blocked by bed. No shelves near bed. No personal light. There's washing machine free to use which was also great. Wet suits were always wet and cold. Boards were good. Cars are old and dusty.

Everything you'll need for a perfect surf week is here.

I had an amazing time at the Lapoint Surf Camp! The location was beautiful, the staff was super friendly and the people I met were amazing!|It was my first time surfing and I had very nice instructors who were very patient with my limited abilities :D|All extra activities such as yoga, e-bike tour, massage, cinema night, games night... made the experience even better.|Oh, and the food was delicious as well!|I would recommend it 100% and I am looking forward to repeat sometime soon :)

I had an amazing time at Lapoint Fuerteventura. I made some great friends and got very lucky with some good swell. They accommodated surfers with experience which is why I chose lapoint. The food was awesome, accommodation was fine. Nothing special but it works. My main complaints are restrictions on how much you eat, I’m a small girl but I can eat. And I didn’t love being told I was limited on how much to eat especially when surfing so much. I definitely recommend renting a car. It gave me the freedom to explore and add extra surfs.

Lapoint camp was a very well equipped surf camp for all your surfing needs, including surfskating. The camp has a great skating area and a wave ramp and two small and one bigger pool where you can chill and cool your aching muscles. The Lapoint FV team were excellent, very friendly and looked after us very well. We were very lucky to have such a superb group of surf enthusiasts of all ages, and the Lapoint team were very good at being inclusive. Our yoga teacher was great, the surfskate instructor was very good and our surf instructor was very on point and really paying attention and making corrections (which is what every learner needs). The food was also great and plentiful. Overall, we had a great time and I would recommend the surfcamp to those who are serious about improving their surfing.

The camp is very nice with a pool, sun loungers, skate park, etc. The rooms are well-equipped. Unfortunately, air conditioning in the rooms and a communal bathroom with toilet/shower are missing and would make the camp even better. The food was good and always plentiful. The social hosts were very friendly and took care of everything.

Staff are awesome and surf is great. Highly recommend. The surf skate park is great if the waves aren’t going. The surf coaches are get for surf and so welcoming. All around just a great place to spend a week or two

We spent a week at LaOla Camp and had an amazing holiday. The staff was incredible, the organization top-notch, and the surf coaches were competent and super cool. Absolutely nothing to complain about! I'll definitely go back and hope to see the same team as this year!

I've had an amazing stay at Lapoint surf camp in Fuerteventura. The island is incredibly beautiful with lots of must see scenery around. Its postcard worthy beaches alone are a reason to visit. At the camp we were received warmly by the very friendly staff who would also join some of the social activities, adding up to the relaxed and friendly vibe. The houses where we stayed were modern and none the less cozy with an awesome pool area. I had lots of fun surfing with our teachers who were very supportive of the students. Compliments to the amazing chef, who did his best to deliver a great experience. There are plenty of activities at the camp such as yoga, e-bike tour, volcano hike and movie night which I all recommend, do not miss them.||One of my remarks is that it would be better if the rooms had AC but given that the house is self sustainable it makes up for it.

We stayed as a couple in their superior room. We met many new people from different age groups. I liked the camp because it isn't a camp for party people however you can go to a party close by and we had one very nice skate party at the camp. There is a policy to be quite after 11 which we really appreciated, it's not completely silent after 11 however you can get your rest and be energised for the next morning. |There are different activities you can participate in next to surfing, like a volcano hike, a bike tour and yoga sessions. Even a very lovely massage! I really enjoyed the surfskate lessons and rental. |The hosts are very friendly and the food is amazing! The breakfast is very luxurious and has healthy and less healthy options. Dinner and Lunch are "simple" but very very good and good attention for dietary restrictions. |During the day the camp is pretty quite, while people are reading a book, swimming or going to a nearby city to explore. |I would highly recommend the camp and would consider coming back. :)

Perfect location, lots within walking distance, a supermarket, nice coffee shop, restaurants, etc. But also plenty to visit. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and plenty of activities were organized besides surfing.

I had such a good time at the Lapoint surf camp in Fuerteventura. The instructors were amazing and the camp conditions were also really good. The food was also so tasty and healthy, and the camp was full of social activities so you could connect with other surfers. I would totally recommend Lapoint!

Just got back from a week at LaPoint. Loved the location, it’s not in a very overly tourist place such as Corralejo so you still get to feel a bit more “local”. Though if you’d like to explore better rent a car. I’ve been to other surf camps and this one is one of the best I’ve been, instructors are really great and gave great feedbacks, staff was super friendly and helpful. Food was amazing! From breakfast to dinner everything was super tasty! Extra activities: surf skate, hiking and e-bike was lots of fun too… though for the e-bike keep in mind it will be on dirt road so can be tricky at some parts. Social events/gatherings were super fun too! The only downside we’re the beds which were not super comfy for us but the rooms were simple and well thought. Beware of mosquitos! We went there as a couple and we met really great people. Good energy from everyone Would highly recommend to go there because we would absolutely go back!

Amazing place, surrounded by beautiful nature and people, delicious food and exciting activities. If you are in doubt about traveling solo, I encourage you to do it. You will live a memorable experience!

This is my third time traveling with Lapoint. Unfortunately this place is my least favorite. The accommodation and surf teachers were ok, however, some basic services were missing. We were six people sharing one room with bunk beds and only one toilet/shower. Additional toilets at the camp were nonexistent. The showers did not have any warm water.

Everything was super cool. The staff was very nice and helpful, the surf instructors were nice and good to learn from and the food was super good. All in all, it was a fantastic experience and a nice and cozy Camp. I would definitely recommend it to others!

We wanted to avoid the winter blues and work on our surf skills. It was going to cost a bit—the price was like high season—but you got what you paid for, the website said: nice surf house, small groups, good vibes, yoga, and surfskate. Great! Booked quickly. We received a welcome email with a ton of rules & regulations :-/ A WhatsApp group with 45 (!) participants :-( How is that even possible? Upon arrival, it turned out there were two surf houses, Lapoint and Laola, directly opposite each other, and we shared everything. So much for a small group. Surf lessons weren't in the morning but spread throughout the day. The food was good, but not always enough. There was a shortage of yoga mats in class. Help with injuries: forget about it. No hot shower, never ever. I could go on. But the most disappointing thing was the incredibly uninterested attitude of the staff. Hello, hospitality, anyone? They call themselves social hosts; that 'social' was nowhere to be found. We were in a young group, so if you were alone, over thirty, and not in a party mood, you had a problem. Well, we've been to surf camp before, so we know it can be better. Fortunately.

Great staff, very good surf teacher and amazing surfskate park attached to the compound! But bad smell at the pool/dinning area due to sewerage or something like that, very thin walls in double bedrooms, not suited for couples or people who want privacy or people who want to sleep early, also the double rooms have huge glass fronts towards the public area. Almost never warm water left for showering.

Excellent camp, the staff is fantastic, the villa and pools are beautiful. The food is cooked daily by a chef using fresh, local produce. There's never a dull moment here with two hours of surfing every morning; the spot is amazing and the instructors are excellent – ​​I learned a lot.

We had a blast in Lapoint Fuerteventura. People are the best, teachers are super competent and inclusive and fun. Jo my fav , I was in his class but you could find a great instructor in all of them, they all know what they are doing with great professionalism! Erica for yoga amazing also, specially after surfing, she also does the best porridge ever. Food: The food was great as well, Rodolph great chef. Only aching notes of this experience to me was the management of the place. Girls seemed to care too little. I had an unpleasant event of intolerance cause they took too lightly my answer to the question “if i had any allergies”, to which i answered “intolerant to gluten”… they expected from me to write what level of intolerance. Which shouldn’t matter cause if I’m intolerant, I am, period. So long story short, first night I asked if dinner was gluten free, answer was yes (from all of them) and after eating it, emergency room was my first day visit that night. After that, still all the meal where not adjusted to my intolerance, just after three days finally they were, just after speaking directly to the cook, it started to be well handled and my meals started to be divided from the group, as it should be. I did not take any legal action cause everything else was just Great, and dont feel like Lapoint has to pay for one mistake of two young girls, but it was bad. Lisa is the only girl from management who was very cooperative and present all the time, making sure I was set! But for the rest, i would suggest do not trust them too much (which by the way, dont get me wrong, they are very nice girls easy going, but not ready for this job for my personal opinion). Just be careful if you are intolerant to anything. Exaggerate on whatever level is your intolerance because otherwise it will take awhile before taken seriously. And if your intolerance it is pretty severe, like my case, just say you’re celiac. It will be taken under a more appropriate care. Beside this I advice to you all to do this experience at least once in ur life cause it was just the best. We were also so lucky to have found the best group to spend it with. Xoxo Lapoint

The surf camp was truly fantastic: beautiful facilities, competent and attentive instructors, good food, and lovely people. Recommended as an experience to do alone or with friends!

Best surf camp in Fuerteventura!

If you’re a solo traveller looking for a winter week of sun, sea, sand, surfing, surfskating, yoga, running, biking, massage and excellent healthy catered food, then Lapoint Fuerteventura is the perfect place for you. Booking was easy, staff were friendly, and accommodation was clean. There were various activities on offer on the island. Shout out to my surf instructor Ale who was exceptionally knowledgeable, collaborative, patient, had empathy and matched the good vibes brought along by everyone in his team.

Me and my friends just had an amazing week at Lapoint. The food was surprisingly good, the staff was very professional and extremely lovable and charismatic. The camp manager took care of our needs with a smile, our yoga instructor orchestrated the sessions to our needs (which was very much stretching after surfing 😅) and our surf instructor was just the best! Shout out to Elie, who took a bunch of 30+ year olds and made us all stand on a board in the angry ocean within a week. All while he was funny and full of good vibes 🤙 I would recommend this for everybody and I will most definitely visit a Lapoint camp again! ❤️🏄
