Noah Surf House

The most popular pastime, of course, is surfing at the adjacent Santa Cruz Beach, where gentle right and left breaks create perfect conditions for beginners (board hire and lessons available).

And should you fancy getting more serious about the sport, you can see how the boards are made and pick up one of your own at the Sharper’s Workshop.

An onsite skate park gives you another place to chase thrills, while sunrise yoga classes evoke tranquillity at the ocean-facing infinity pool.

Group SUP sessions set out to explore verdant local rivers, and day treks follow a different coastal route.

Bike rides on the beach, and sweaty sessions at the in-house training and a body&mind studio ensure there’s always a chance for active living within easy reach.

If you feel more have a relaxed day, you can always stay by the pool.

From hearty Portuguese favourites to exotic Middle Eastern fare, there’s a mouthwatering meal on the menu to suit every taste.

Shared platters encourage groups of old or newfound friends to enjoy an unforgettable meal together.

Just outside the hotel resides the Noah Beach House, where Mediterranean delicacies like cheese, tapas, and meats accompany the gorgeous seafood.

Here you’ll find a decadent selection of local wines and desserts, or - on the other end of the spectrum - the Healthy & Soul Menu full of fruit bowls and fresh smoothies.
