Born from Ocean Passion

Our Journey to Baleal

Hi, we’re Zuzana and Tibor, and we’re excited to welcome you. When we first arrived in Portugal, we were instantly drawn to its charm, energy, and stunning coastline. We dreamed of creating a space where travellers could feel completely at home while experiencing the magic of the region. After years of searching for the perfect location, we found a house that felt right and poured our hearts into renovating every single detail. Surf Atlantic is more than just a standard holiday rental—it’s a warm, welcoming retreat designed to help you relax, connect, and unwind. Whether you’re here to surf world-class waves, explore breathtaking coastal cliffs, or simply recharge by the pool, we are dedicated to making your stay truly unforgettable. Our goal is to provide a authentic local experience paired with all the modern comforts you need for a restful vacation.
