Our location

Your retreat unfolds in a slice of paradise - a stunning 20 000m2 beachfront property nestled along the Golfo Dulce, on the southern stretch of the pacific coast of Costa Rica.

Our unique location allows us to adjust to swell intensity, allowing us to easily move to more sheltered or exposed beaches in the area. This way, we can surf at the best spot that complements your abilities.

Our week’s schedule is optimized to surf at ideal tides, ensuring that we hit the water at optimal times.

Our « learn to surf » package is aimed at beginner and intermediate surfers, so whether you’re fresh to the surf scene or looking to level up, our goal is to help you get to that next level. This includes 5 surf theory classes, 10 in-water surf lessons and daily video reviews of your surf sessions with your coach to help you understand and visualize areas where you can improve your technique.

Beginner surfers

Our approach tailors to each rider, guiding you to ride the wave that’s just right for you.

Safety-wise, our coaches are your constant companions, guiding you through every wave. They position you perfectly, ensuring your safety and progression. 

We roll with small groups, maxing out at a dozen campers. This way, you score personal insights from your coach. For this reason, we have a maximum ratio of 4 students per coach in the water.

Our mission?  By the end of the week, you’ll be an independent and knowledgeable surfer. 

Intermediate surfers

Our focus with intermediate surfers is all about precision. With the help of technical video analysis and in-water feedback, we’ll help you pinpoint areas for growth, concentrating on key aspects and quick-wins to refine your technique.

Our main focus is to have you out on the waves as much as possible (typically 2 sessions a day, of 2h-2h30 each, subject to tides and your energy level.

Learn to surf rates: $2400 per person for a week’s stay in shared accommodation.

Advanced surfers and Non-Surfing Companions

For accomplished surfers or those not seeking to ride the waves, we also have our « free surf » package. This package includes food, lodging, yoga sessions and the boat trip activity.

Should you desire to rent instead of bringing your own board, notifying us a few weeks beforehand ensures we have you covered with what's available in our area. Surf Rental is not included in this package but can be arranged for an extra $120.

There is a nice long point break located just a short stroll away that is more suited to experienced surfers. You can choose to join the group transportation to be with your partner at the beginner spot or tackle this nearby point break, a few minutes walk away from the retreat.

This is ideal for couples or friends where one is advanced (or not surfing) and the other is a beginner. Each can surf their chosen surf spot, reuniting at the shuttle of camp for meals, yoga and relaxation.

And then you have Pavones, the famous 2nd longest left-hand wave in the world, a mere 10-minute drive away.

We don't usually offer any lessons in Pavones as the break caters to advanced surfers seeking a challenging thrill-which is not ideal for lessons, but it's a paradise for advanced surfers.

While we may be able to arrange a few transportation to Pavones during the week depending on logistics with the beginner and intermediate surf lessons and how many advanced surfers we have,  if you are looking to surf Pavones twice a day, you should plan on coming with your own rental vehicle.

Free-surf rates: $1750 per person for the week, in shared accommodation.

Beyond the waves, prepare your taste buds for a feast. Dive into three wholesome meals each day, meticulously crafted by our co-founder and culinary virtuoso who had a very successful restaurant in Cape Town, South Africa.
