Noah Surf House

Santa Cruz, Portugal

Where surf culture, barefoot living and family freedom meet on the Atlantic coast

At a glance

Sitting above Santa Cruz’s dramatic west coast, Noah Surf House blends surf spirit, eco-friendly design and a warm sense of community. Built with repurposed materials, recycled timber and exposed concrete, the house feels relaxed, creative and connected to the ocean.

Families come for the ease of beach life, the fun of an all-ages surf community, and the simple joy of days shaped by tides, sunsets and long table meals. With rooftop firepits, a skate bowl, organic gardens, ocean-view decks and daily movement sessions, Noah’s is a lifestyle hotel designed for barefoot living.
