Menorca Surf & Adventure Retreat: Waves, Coves and Island Life

A typical day at the camp starts with free time in the morning — you might sleep in, swim, or head to the beach before your lesson. Surf lessons or programmed activities take up about two or three hours, usually mid-morning or afternoon, and are run by instructors who are all local and have years of experience. The rest of the day is yours: hang out by the pool, explore the nearby coves, or join in an excursion. Evenings often include group dinners or a party organised with everyone at camp.

The camp is based at Cala Tirant, a beach on the north coast of Menorca known for its surf and paddle surf conditions. It's a relaxed area, and the accommodation is right in front of the beach. You're a short drive from other highlights like Platges de Fornells, and the team organises trips to places you might not find on your own — hidden beaches, caves and snorkelling in a marine reserve. For those who want more, you can sign up for a boat trip (morning or full day), a diving baptism, or rent bikes and cars to explore the island.

What makes this camp different is the flexible structure. You're not locked into a packed schedule; there's a mix of organised activities and free time, so you can do as much or as little as you like. The instructors are a tight-knit team — Gabriel, Joana, Mateo, Ferran and Paula — and they're around all day to help you improve your surfing or suggest things to do. The camp is run by Manihi Surf School, which has been operating in Menorca for years and knows the island well.

The accommodation itself is simple but comfortable: shared double rooms with private bathroom, a kitchen you can use, and two pools to cool off in. It's a sociable setup, good for solo travellers or friends who want to meet people. The camp is not a luxury resort — it's a surf camp with a friendly, active vibe. If you're looking for a week of surfing, exploring and hanging out with a group, this fits.
