A Family Experience to Remember
We know that finding a holiday that the whole family can look forward to isn’t always easy. As children get older, more opinions and interests have to fit into the same week.
The beauty of a surf trip is that the whole family gets to learn something new together. Sharing the successes, laughing at the wipeouts and cheering each other on makes the experience even more special.
At the same time, there are plenty of opportunities for everyone in the family to enjoy the week in their own way. Some family members may want to surf as much as possible, while others might prefer spending the day at the beach, discovering local cafés or simply relaxing in the sun.

Many of our guests return year after year. Here’s what Katarina, one of our guests, has to say:
“Some trips stay with you a little longer – and this was definitely one of them. My 60th birthday trip with my daughter and grandchildren became so much more than just surfing and a holiday.
The trip with Magnus & Friends was incredibly well organised, while still feeling relaxed, warm and genuine. Baleal had that magical atmosphere that helped all of us slow down and simply enjoy being together.
The kids had the week of their lives – and so did we adults. And the people around us made all the difference. Everyone on the team was so genuinely kind, welcoming and present. Every single person made us feel seen and cared for.
The surf instructors were also absolutely fantastic – highly skilled, reassuring, patient and encouraging. They created an environment where both the children and we adults felt confident enough to try, improve and, most importantly, have fun.
We are so grateful for absolutely everything.”

Learn to surf togheter
Most families who travel with us have never surfed before. That’s why we always tailor our surf groups based on age, experience and ability, giving you the best possible conditions to learn and have fun in the water.
Baleal is known as one of the best areas in Europe for beginners to learn how to surf. With several sandy beaches within walking distance, we can always find waves that suit your level and the conditions of the day.
Many people think surfing is harder than it actually is. But with small surf groups, personalised coaching and video feedback, you’ll often progress faster than you might expect. And we almost dare to promise that you’ll improve quicker than you think, whether your goal is to catch your very first wave or simply have an amazing time together as a family.
Surfing with kids - safe and fun for everyone
A successful family holiday starts with happy kids. When children are having fun and feel safe, you as a parent can relax and fully enjoy your holiday.
Our instructors are experienced in working with Swedish families and make surfing safe, fun and adapted to each child’s level. During the surf lessons, we also have Swedish-speaking surf assistants on hand to make sure the younger children get the help and attention they need.
For children aged 3–5, we also offer Pre-Surf Kids, where sandcastles, playing at the water’s edge and fun beach activities are the focus while you parents are out in the water.
Live close to the beach in the heart of Baleal
As a family, you’ll stay in your own private room in one of our surf villas or apartments, just a few minutes from the beach and Baleal’s cosy restaurants and cafés.
Our accommodation is a big part of the experience. With shared living rooms, outdoor spaces and social areas, we create a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere where it’s easy to get to know other families. At the same time, you’ll always have the opportunity to retreat and enjoy some quiet time together.
We offer several different room types to suit families of different sizes. Many of the rooms have a balcony and/or sea view. Some rooms have a private bathroom, while others share a bathroom with an adjoining room.
We want you to feel at home from the moment you arrive. That’s why your bed will be made when you arrive, and a shower towel will be waiting for you in your room. All you need to bring is a beach towel for the week. In the bathrooms, you’ll find shampoo, conditioner and shower gel from Rituals to make your stay a little more comfortable.
For many families, the accommodation becomes a natural gathering place after a day of activities. This is where you can play games, spend time together on the patio and enjoy the evening sun after a day of surfing. Meanwhile, the kids often find new friends to play with, while you as parents can relax and enjoy the long evenings.
