Your travel request

Kitchenchef

Spain | from 21 y.o. | m/f/d

We are looking for a cook (m/f/d) aged 21 or over for our camp in northern Spain for the 2026 summer season.

Surfing, good food, and camp life go hand in hand for us. With us, you won’t be cooking anonymously for a restaurant, but for a small community of guests and team members. After a long day of surfing, everyone comes together—and dinner is one of the best moments of the day. If you enjoy cooking with fresh ingredients, bringing people together, and being part of a lively surf camp, you’ll fit right in with us.

Your tasks:

You are responsible for the entire kitchen area – from planning the weekly menu and shopping to preparing the meals.

Together with your kitchen team, you prepare the hot evening meal for our camp and coordinate the kitchen’s setup and cleanup. Breakfast is prepared by the team, but as head of the kitchen, you naturally oversee everything.

In addition to cooking, you ensure that hygiene and quality standards are met and that the kitchen remains a well-organized and pleasant workplace for everyone.

What you bring along:

  • Experience in catering or camp kitchens
  • Organizational skills, a sense of responsibility, and commitment
  • Experienced handling of allergens, vegan and vegetarian diets
  • Reliable planning
  • Independent work style
  • Team spirit and flexibility
  • Enjoyment of cooking for large groups
  • Hygiene awareness

What we expect:

  • Health certificate (instruction by the health authority according to IFSG § 43)
  • First aid licence 9UE (must be available by the time of deployment and must not be older than two years)
  • Extended criminal record certificate
  • Class B driving licence

What we offer:

  • Work in a small, motivated surf camp team
  • A varied summer by the sea
  • Creative freedom in buffet planning
  • Temporary, fixed employment contract (social insurance in Spain)
  • Accommodation and meals provided at the camp
  • Work in an international, open, motivated and committed team

Possible deployment period: Early/mid-May – mid-October
Location: Cantabria, Northern Spain

Please send your completed application form, letter of motivation including CV, photos and certificates or licences, to office@liquid-surf.com or contact us if you have any questions!

We look forward to your application!

Wavetours testimonials

Really great surf camp trip! Friendly, helpful crew members. Delicious food all week long. Beautiful facilities!
Highly recommended.

Great organisation, really friendly staff and very pleasant surf instructors. I really enjoyed the week!

Unforgettable surfing holiday! An incredibly beautiful camp where you feel at home after just two days. Super location and a really lovely team. Definitely go back.

I think the agency is very good because it provided us with great support and advice in our search for suitable accommodation for a family. Due to problems with the flight, we arrived very late at night. Here, too, our check-in was seamlessly prepared in collaboration with WAVETOURS and the local agent. It’s perfect and that’s why we give it five stars and would gladly use the service again!

Matthias about Wavetours

Recommendations for the Wavetours Montalivet surf camp. Great family activity for surfing and an active family holiday. The camp is really nice, well organised and the crew are friendly and helpful.

Super surf camp with first-class instructors! The food was very good and even vegan. Lots of cool evenings and events and an extremely great team!
Would love to come back!

Julian about Montalivet Family

A lovely new family surf camp that opened for its first season this summer in Montalivet. Very nicely done, with everything you need. The focus here is primarily on children, for whom there is plenty on offer – from batik, crafts, table tennis and trampolining, etc. Children of all ages will find something to suit them here and quickly make friends to play with.

If you want, you can of course book a surfing course, yoga or mountain bike tours. In the evenings, there are activities for the whole family (completely informal), from games nights to karaoke or sunset walks.

The location is great, as it’s only a 5-minute bike ride or 15-minute walk to the village, where there is a fantastic market every day from 8 a.m. to 1.30 p.m. and lots of small shops, cafés and restaurants. The beach is about 15 minutes away, or 30-40 minutes with a toddler, so a bicycle is useful (you can also hire one at the camp) or a handcart or similar.

Last but not least: the food is varied and delicious. The team are super friendly and the camp management are always approachable and absolutely open to suggestions.
Highly recommended for a family week!

Katharina about Montalivet Family

It was our first time travelling with Wavetours. Everything was great, a fantastic team on site, we felt welcome and it was just brilliant… The surfing lessons were great and the instructors made the lessons fun and entertaining, and everyone learned how to surf. We’ll be going back again next year.

Great holiday with Wavetours. Very nice resort, great beach, super team and great surfing course.

Frank about Seignosse Family

This year was a magical and varied yoga experience in the enchanted forest with Debbie! Yoga has always been my oasis and time-out from everyday life. However, Debbie’s design of the training and her personal energy and charisma, combined with the surroundings of the location, created a unique atmosphere for tension and, even more so, for relaxation. I haven’t experienced anything like this in a long time :D
Thank you, Wavetours, for Debbie, and thank you, Debbie, for your dedication! I would be delighted to see you again next year in Seignosse ;)
