The Surf Week
Learn to surf, live in a historic villa and explore Gran Canaria. Our surf week is for beginners and intermediates, with a maximum of 8 guests, so everyone gets real coaching. Every morning, our coaches Paula and Rafael take you to the right spot for your level and the day’s waves: La Cícer at Las Canteras for beginners, and La Laja for intermediates.
Each session lasts about two hours: a warm-up, theory on the sand, then time in the water. Boards and wetsuits are included.
Days 2–6: Morning surf lesson with Paula and Rafael, lunch, then your afternoon: pool, beach, the old town or an excursion

The Villa
Welcome to The KYO Villa, a charming English colonial house in the heart of Las Palmas. With its timeless character and elegant design, the villa blends classic style with modern comfort, making it your home away from home for the week.
Cool off in our little pool, relax on the sunbeds under the Canarian sun, or take in panoramic views over the city from the spacious roof terrace. Inside, you’ll find a cozy living room and a fully equipped kitchen, and every bedroom has its own key for your privacy and peace of mind. The villa sits in a safe, picturesque neighborhood, just a short walk from the beach and about 30 minutes from the historic old town of Vegueta.
Explore
Experience the Gran Adventure. Gran Canaria, often called Europe’s Hawaii, offers great surf spots, cultural gems and breathtaking landscapes. Join our Surf Safari to discover the island’s best beaches, hike up to Pico de las Nieves, the highest peak, or wander through the golden sand dunes of Maspalomas. We can also arrange trips to charming towns and villages, golf and other activities, so just let us know what you’d like to do and we’ll help you plan it.
About Us
Meet Rafael, our local surf expert. Born and raised by the ocean, Rafael knows every beach, wave and hidden corner of Gran Canaria, and he loves sharing that passion with our guests. Whether you’re standing on a board for the first time or looking to improve your skills, he’ll make sure you feel safe, confident and have a great time in the water.
Your hosts are Rafael Díaz and Anne Olsen, and your coaches are Rafael and Paula Díaz. Paula grew up surfing the beaches of Las Palmas and is a former junior national champion, while Rafael brings years of experience and local knowledge of every wave around the island. Whether you’ve never stood on a board or you want to catch your first green waves, our week is built around you: small groups, honest coaching, good food and plenty of time to explore. Arrive as a guest, leave with a story.

A deposit of €200 per person is due to confirm your booking. The remaining amount is due 30 days before arrival. If you book less than 30 days before arrival, the full amount is due at booking. If the balance is not paid on time, we may cancel the booking and keep the deposit.

Refunds: any refund is paid to the original payment method within 14 days of the cancellation. No refunds are given for missed lessons, meals or nights, or for leaving early.
5. Changes and cancellations by us
Gran Canaria has surf on almost every day of the year, and we have a car. Every morning our coaches check the conditions and take you to the best spot on the island for your level, so lessons go ahead when the waves near the villa aren't right. We only cancel a session for safety reasons, such as a severe storm or an official weather warning. If that happens, we will move the session to another day of your week where possible. If we have to cancel your whole booking for reasons within our control, you get a full refund of everything you have paid.
6. Health and safety
You must be able to swim and be in reasonable health to take part. Please tell us about any medical condition, injury or pregnancy before arrival. Guests under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. You must follow the instructions of our coaches at all times. We may exclude a guest from an activity if we believe it is unsafe for them or for others, for example after alcohol use.
7. Insurance and responsibility
Surfing is a physical activity that carries some risk of injury. We strongly recommend that you travel with personal travel insurance covering medical costs, cancellation and sports activities. Nothing in these terms limits any rights you have under Spanish and EU consumer law.
8. Equipment and the villa
Boards and wetsuits are provided for your stay. Please take care of them, as you may be asked to pay for damage caused by misuse. At The KYO Villa, please respect the house rules, the neighbours and quiet hours. We are not responsible for valuables left unattended; each bedroom has its own key.
9. Photos and video
We will only use photos or videos in which you can be recognised for our website or social media if you agree to it.
10. Complaints
If something is not right, please tell us straight away so we can fix it during your stay. You can also contact us at info@kyosurf.es. Official complaint forms (hojas de reclamación) are available on request.
11. Applicable law
These terms are governed by Spanish law.
