What is Surf & Build Family Getaway

Family Getaway brings an international group of families together for six days at DOMA.

Surf Lessons
Pool Area
Pine forest
Meals included

Daily surf, kids’ programs, wellness, shared meals and evenings give the week its structure. Some parts are shared; others give kids more independence and parents more space.

One participant from the first Family Getaway described it as:

“A village where we could truly relax as a family.”

That is probably the simplest way to explain it.

The Experience

Surf Together (for kids 7+ and adults)

Families surf in Ericeira with Progress Surf School, founded by Portuguese big-wave surfer Joana Andrade.

Sessions are adapted to age and level, from complete beginners to more experienced surfers. The goal is to give everyone enough time in the water and enough coaching to make real progress over the course of the week.

StartUp Lab - Kids Entrepreneurship Program

Children 8+ go from idea to pitch during the week, with the goal of ending with something they have actually built.

They test ideas, talk to users, make first versions and get feedback. Some use tools like Lovable; others build something completely different. Parents can contribute short practical sessions or help with projects.At the end of the week, the kids pitch what they built and everyone gets virtual money to invest in the projects they believe in.

Younger Kids

Your surf coach is Joana Andrade – Portugal's leading big-wave surfer. Joana has coached athletes at every level – from first-timers to competitors – and founded Progress Surf School in Ericeira, known for structured, safety-first, high-performance coaching.

For Parents

Parents can take part in surfing, yoga, meditation, breathwork and ATMOS steam sessions. There is also access to the outdoor spa, pool, coworking space and quiet areas around the property.

Some parents use the time to work for an hour. Some book a massage. Some stay by the pool. Some join every activity. There is no expectation to do everything.

Your Summer Village

A large part of the first Family Getaway happened outside the formal program. Kids made friends quickly. Families spent time together over meals, at the pool, around DOMA and in the evenings.

Several participants told us the group started to feel like one big family by the end of the week.

We keep the group relatively small so people actually get to know each other.

“Let’s make this camp an annual tradition.”
