Family Surf Camp Gran Canaria, Spain

Gran Canaria

The Family Surf Camp

Outer Reef Gran Canaria is a boutique surf camp in a renovated 19th century house in Moya, on the island's green northern coast. It's a calm, welcoming base for families, with a pool, terraces, chill out areas, an on site restaurant and free Wi-Fi throughout.

The pace is relaxed, with space for slow mornings, beach days and easy evenings together. Kids' surf lessons run here, led by instructors who are used to teaching a wide range of ages and abilities. If you have any questions about minimum ages, please get in touch and we'll help.

Away from the beach, the island has quiet coves, mountains, hiking trails, canyons and traditional villages to explore as a family.

The Package

Flexible Family Surf Stays
Included
Our packages are designed to give you freedom of choice. Whether you want a flexible stay focused on comfort and island life, or a fully hosted week with surfing, yoga and shared meals included, both options are built around ease, quality and a relaxed pace.

Surf sessions are led by experienced instructors who are used to teaching a wide range of ages and abilities. Their approach is calm, supportive and family-friendly, helping everyone feel comfortable and confident in the water. To enhance the quality of coaching, the camp also collaborates with local surf schools, allowing for more personalised attention and a deeper connection to Gran Canaria’s surf culture.

Activities are woven naturally into the week. Daily yoga and surf sessions sit alongside optional island adventures, guided trails and relaxed picnics, giving you the chance to explore beyond the coast and discover quieter corners of the island. The aim is simple: meaningful experiences without overloading the schedule.

Food plays an important role in the experience. The on site restaurant, Nativo Las Palmas, serves fresh, healthy dishes inspired by local produce and global flavours. Open daily, it’s a place to eat well, take your time and enjoy Canarian hospitality.

Location

A calm base for family surf days
Gran Canaria
Gran Canaria is known for its consistent surf and variety of breaks. Thanks to the island’s shape and exposure, it’s possible to find waves in different conditions throughout the year. Sessions can be adapted to suit swell, wind and ability, making it a reliable destination for surfers of all levels.

Beyond surfing, Gran Canaria offers a wide range of experiences. From hiking through ravines and mountains to exploring traditional villages, coastal paths and local markets, the island’s diversity makes it easy to mix surf days with adventure and exploration.

The camp is located in Moya, on the northern side of Gran Canaria. This area is greener, quieter and more traditional than the south of the island, with dramatic coastlines, volcanic landscapes and a strong local feel. It’s an ideal base for guests who want a calmer atmosphere while staying close to surf, nature and outdoor activities.
