Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Hi, I went to Faro for a weekend surfing getaway with my family. We had two-morning lessons but I wish that we had done more. To start things off, we had a friendly and organized welcome at the school. They equipped us and then we went on a scenic walk to get to the part of the beach that we would be surfing at. The boards were really good quality and perfect for all ages and all people. The beach we surfed at was a prime location. There weren't many people around and the waves were perfect. Because we were beginners, one of the instructors took us off to the side to teach us. He was a real surfer dude bro and we learnt in no time at all. Soon we were out on the waves and I was surfing waves that I thought I would never be able to. The instructors were all so helpful and inspiring and I had an amazing time. I really recommend AMAR surfing academia because it is family-friendly, relaxing and overall just a phenomenal experience.

The first surf lesson was great and it made me fall in love with this sport!
Everyone was very kind and fun to be around and it was very easy to communicate with the instructors. They made me feel very at ease and comfortable in the water and they helped me a lot during the lesson. At first, we had a warm-up session, we got used to the water, we practiced each step on the shore and then we tried to ride the waves for the first time.
It was a very fun activity, the energy of the instructors was amazing and I can’t wait to come back! The entire experience was all smiles!!! 🤙

What a team ! Best spot and surfschool in Faro.
The teacher’s energy is amazing, as well as their coaching. I’ve learned a lot in a couple of days.
The coaches spent this whole Time in the water with us, giving personnalised recommandations to each student.

The surfing spot is beautiful, far from the crowded areas.

I will come back for sure!

Quote from my daughter, Ayla and son ,Mikey “totally epic, totally awesome, best time ever !!!!!”
I cannot praise Mili and Vitor enough. It was immediately obvious to my family that these guys don’t see this as a job but as a lifestyle. Their passion, enthusiasm and dedication to their craft shone through as they taught my family to surf. They brought a sense of joy and freedom to all that participated and we can’t wait to come back again. Their capacity to especially relate to children shines through in their teaching. Mikey and Ayla were up surfing within minutes of entering the surf.
Thank-you so much guys for bringing such joy, happiness and a spirit of freedom in the waves to my family.
(Ps. Happy birthday for yesterday brother 🤙🤙🤙🤙 see you guys again soon )

First of all: it was amazing!!!
We joined 3 great surf-classes and felt like we were in paradise! Thor and Mili are Great instructors, who encouraged us to believe in ourself and to be stronger than the ocean, so we made our first class a successful one and managed to stand on the board. They made us feel welcome in the surf family, even if we are bloody beginners.
Thank you so much for the great experience! We definitely surf again and come back to get coached by the best family members and to feel the waves under our boards in this beautiful paradise!

We had 2 lessons before we sadly had to leave Faro! These amazing team of surfers made it all a super fun, warm and exciting experience. Once you make contact the team will respond asap with availability & all information needed to take care of everything. Professional and lovely people! Can’t wait to get back here to do loads more lessons with this lot! Don’t hesitate to give it a try! You will probably be standing on the board, smiling a big cheesy grin like us when you are done!

I was there with my friend Anika. At first we've only booked one day for about 3,5 hour. But after this crazy lesson we decided to join the surf class again and so we booked another lesson for the next day. All of the guys are so kind and helpful :-) we can recommend the surf school so much! It was a pleasure and we are happy to made this crazy experience 😜🏄‍♀️

We had a wonderful time at our surf lessons with Mili and Vitor! They spread around a lot of good vibes and have great tips to improve surfing! Definitely would go there again. The beach is really wonderful (around a 20 minute walk from the surf school - but without boards :) and there is nothing at all to complain! Communication prior to the class was really easy thanks to Whats App. If you want to have a great time catching some waves stop by here!

Surfing with Amar group was an amazing experience! My friends and I loved the AMAR culture, people and energy! We had more than 5 lessons with during the one month we stayed in Faro, tried with many coaches and saw results while also having fun. Thank you guys, we'll definitely return for some more waves!
