"I spent a week at the Atlantic Surf Lodge in Vieux Boucau and it completely exceeded my expectations. The location is perfect just 5 minutes from the beach, so you can walk or grab one of their bikes and be in the waves in minutes. What really stood out was the international vibe and how welcoming everyone was. After morning surf sessions with the qualified instructors, we'd come back to the lodge and chill on the slack line or play ping pong. The yoga sessions with Carmen were the perfect balance to the surfing my body needed that stretch after being in the water all day! The typical Landaise house has such a relaxed atmosphere, and the sunsets… honestly unforgettable. I left feeling recharged and already planning my next trip back."

"As someone who'd never surfed before, I was a bit nervous, but the instructors at Atlantic Surf Lodge made learning so easy and fun. The group lessons were well-structured with theory and even video analysis felt like training like a pro! Having all the equipment included (wetsuits and boards) meant I didn't have to worry about a thing. The lodge itself is brilliant there's always something to do, whether it's skateboarding to the town centre, checking out the local skate park, or just hanging out with people from all over the world. Vieux Boucau is such a cool little town with great bars and restaurants, and being close to legendary spots like Hossegor was a bonus. Can't recommend this place enough for anyone wanting to learn to surf in an amazing setting."

"We booked the Outer Reef Atlantic Surf Lodge for a much needed escape, and it was hands down one of the best trips we've taken. The mix of surfing and yoga was exactly what we needed active but also restorative. The instructors were patient and really helped us improve our technique over the week. What we loved most was the flexibility; we could join the group lessons or just grab boards and wetsuits and head out on our own. The lodge has such a chilled, friendly atmosphere it's more than just a place to sleep. We met incredible people, enjoyed the beautiful natural surroundings, and even explored the wild coastline to the north. The new designer surf pods looked amazing too! Already looking at dates to come back next season."
