Alvor Kitesurf Center

I spent five days here with my two kids, daughter 12 and son 14, we stayed at the house, which is two minutes from restaurants and two minute walk from their centre. They could not have been more helpful from booking to me moving my booking on a day or two due to unforeseen circumstances. The house is great, it’s got a pool, kitchen tv lounge and a mix of rooms to choose from and good internet(given the thumbs up by my son) we were there to kite, I can my son had done a little and my daughter none. There were tons of staff, all helpful and seasoned teachers and super friendly. I run staff and a paragliding school so it’s good to see a like minded business making a great job of it. The venue for kiting is great, their equipment top notch and the pace for both kids was perfect. I’ve seen some sloppy instructors in my time but I couldn’t fault them. The kids were super happy, and the boat trip out was the icing on the cake.... no tiring walks after a long day in the sea. We’re planning our next visit!

We spent a week at Alvor Kitesurf Center in combination with the Guesthouse (package-deal). From the beginning till the end: it was all fantastic!! Great service like pickup at the airport, transfers during the week, every day nice breakfast, quick respons on questions or needs, reservations made for the very good restaurants, barbecue-party, etc. These guys know what they are doing: support and spoil you in every way they can! The kite-instructors were relaxed in teaching us the kiting. Safety first in everything: the boat is staying at the spot during the lessons. The kitespot itself was absolutely fabulous! We came as tourists and left as friends! I would really recommend the Alvor Kitesurf Center and ofcours the Guesthouse too!

As part of our holiday trip to Portugal, we wanted to get a feeling for what kitesurfing is about. We looked up some clubs and organizations and saw some of the bad reviews this club had, nevertheless we still wanted to give it a shot because other options were further away. Arriving at the place, we were still a bit sceptical because the place didnt look very professional. There we spoke to one of the instructors walking around and agreed that we wanted to take a 3 hour lesson the next day, learning the beginnings of kiting. Later that day the guy we spoke to messaged us that the conditions were good and that they expected to go out at 3 in the afternoon. Next day, we arrived at the place and we helped loading the boat and got all geared up. Once we arrived at our beach with the boat the instructors gave us clear instructions on how to setup your equipment and get some basic excercises done. In total we were 6 beginners, helped by 3 patient, friendly instructors. Even if things didnt go as planned they stayed calm and helped us. They all spoke english one of them even spoke dutch. The initiation in total lasted from 3 untill 7 in the evening, none of the monitors was complaining that the trip took longer than 3 hours or that he had to work with beginners etc. (Like some other people that complained in reviews) The total package, the 4 hours, which included the boat ride to the beach, kites, boards, wetsuits, costed 140 euros euros per person. Looking back, it's almost a no-brainer. We enjoyed our short trip with the crew and strongly recommend this small, cosy club full of humble real surfer people.

A amazing place to learn how to kite or if you are a bit more seasoned also perfect. All the teachers are great. All in all, a great experience!

I spent 3 weeks with them in july. They were all really friendly and open. I had a great time kitesurfing in the lagoon, especially because they bring you with the boat to the lagoon! So you don't have to walk 25 minutes to the lagoon. Wind hits mostly in the afternoon, thus there is also time in the morning to enjoy the beach.

Alvor Kite Centre is the perfect place to learn your first kite skills. Instructors are great and very helpful while the vibes stay chill! Recommend for any beginning or experienced kitesurfers!

Excellent accommodation in an amazing location. Private double rooms have access to the pool and garden. 5 min walk from centre of Alvor. Staff available to talk to all day. Boat transfer and rescue service included with accommodation. Perfect for beginners or experienced riders alike. All standards of lessons offered as well as advanced coaching. Can't recommend highly enough. Thanks for a great time.

Alvor Kite Center is a truly, one of kind unique kiteschool where customer intimacy is performed as an art. The co-owner Nelson Nunes makes sure you'll have the best kitesurf holiday ever. Very good material, excellent kite instructor (Jakob!) and an impeccable service. All is done by Nelson to make your holiday unforgettable. On windy days the lagoon is great both for beginners as more experienced kitesurfers. On days lacking sufficient wind, you can use Nelson's SUP-boards, go to the wakeboard park or just discover the environment. I stayed in the guesthouse with pool of Alvor Kite Center which was top notch in hygiene, comfort, space and wifi, located just at the harbour. The service was perfect with a great, fresh breakfast each day. For those who aim for the best, go for the ultimate kitesurf holiday at Alvor Kite Center. Nelson will take care of you as I've never seen before in all my years!
