FROM$4700/pp
Whether you are ready to catch your very first wave, gain more confidence in the water, transition to riding a different board, learn new tricks, or cross-step on a longboard, our fun team of professional surf instructors will adapt to your goals and work daily by your side to help improve your skills and take your surfing to the next level.
We will practice restorative yoga, introduce meditation and explore conscious breath-work. All of our classes are tailored to benefit your surfing abilities, as well as healing and avoiding injuries. Our yoga teachers aim to help you develop strength, improve balance, relieve muscle fatigue, create mental space and become more aware and in tune with your body.
We celebrate food with enthusiasm so we carefully custom curate a healthy and nourishing menu for every retreat, always adapting to any dietary restrictions. Experience the most delicious flavors prepared and served by our in-house chefs. We only eat local, organic and fresh ingredients - from exotic fruits to local fish caught that morning we will enjoy decadence and rejuvenation with every bite.
Every moment is an adventure with us! We make the rules and love breaking them so we can take you beyond borders and inspire you to explore the world in new, wild and radical ways. This is the time to challenge our limitations, try new crazy things and take our fears head on together.
We believe in the power of sisterhood and building community is our passion. Our goal is to always provide a safe space for all women to play in, cultivate authentic connections and surround themselves with genuinely supportive and fun vibes. We work close with local non-profit organizations and bring our efforts together to support the development of these magical places we call home.
One of our greatest teachers and our favorite medicine. The natural beauty, wild and lush landscapes of our destinations will capture your heart and take you by the hand to a deep, expansive and unforgettable journey.
You can’t pour from an empty cup. Everything starts within you. We will give you the space and time to learn self-love practices for you to incorporate healthy habits into your daily life. We believe that falling in love with yourself is the very first step to find pure joy and happiness.
Living in a small beach community has made us keenly aware of our daily practices regarding our natural surroundings and the people we live with. We will share guidelines to maintain environmental responsibility, disposing of waste properly and leaving no trace behind to protect the natural beauty of the locations we explore.
