Madrid is set to add a large-scale artificial wave facility with the planned development of Gemswell Surf Madrid wave pool, a surf park scheduled to open in spring 2027. The project, backed by Stoneweg, Teras Capital and Atlético de Madrid, represents an investment of more than €60 million and will be located within the Atlético de Madrid Sports City, approximately 15 minutes from the city center and 10 minutes from Madrid-Barajas Airport.
The facility will include a 23,000 square meter surf lagoon using Wavegarden technology. Surf sessions will be limited to 60 minutes and segmented by skill level. The total capacity is set at 120 surfers per session, with up to 40 in the reef zone and 80 in the bay zone.
Developers estimate approximately 180,000 surf hours…
