André Batalha

A magical place with the friendliest people! David's 11 years work and Neide's loving-kindness made my old dream come true. It's a fortune to have such a place in the middle of the Atlantic surrounded by beautiful nature. I want to come back!

We look forward to hearing from you

Come and enjoy Fajã's tranquility

Asli

This is a truly magical spot. Emerging after a nice walk onto a beautiful embankment by the water, overseen by tall rockfaces and all shades of green, was really something. David and his staff are caring and attentive. Facilities are clean and kitchen is stocked. If you want to get off the path and sleep with the ocean waves, this is the place for you.

Marcin

Location is amazing, sound of the waves rolling in at night, Scenery is beautiful, and David is friendly and helpful throughout, if you like wilderness, raw beauty and stunning scenery and a get away from it all location then this is a must. Great place and look forward to visiting again for longer.

Location

This small plateau by the ocean – arguably one of the most beautiful and definitely the most famous fajã on São Jorge Island – is considered a Nature Reserve

by the Regional Government of the Azores, especially due to the clams existing in its lake, the so-called Lagoa da Fajã de Santo Cristo. The fajã is located in the civil parish of Ribeira Seca, municipality of Calheta, São Jorge Island, Azores archipelago. It is deemed a surf sanctuary and it is sought-after by surfers from all over the world.

The lake is located at the bottom of a huge cliff, having been formed by the landslide of the northern mountains. Its crystal-clear and tranquil waters are ideal to relax.

Surf and bodyboard 🌊

World-class waves – called Lago de Linho (Linen Lake), Esquerda da Igreja (Left from Church), Feiticeiras (Sorceresses) and Direita do Passe (Right from the Water flow) – that every surfer can ride. Nevertheless, if you wish, you can take some classes before. In case you have no boards, you can rent them at the Camp!

Spearfishing 🏊‍♂️

Discover the beauty of our waters by fishing in them. All equipment can be rented at the Camp!

Visiting the cave and the waterfall

Other activities include visiting caves or quenching your thirst and taking a dip at the crystalclear spring that forms the Waterfall of Fajã de Santo Cristo. In addition to creating a natural pool, the waterfall goes all the way down the mountain until it reaches the ocean.
