Surf and Wellness Holidays
Surf and wellness holidays combine the energy of riding waves with the calm of yoga, spa therapies and beachside recovery. These retreats balance daily surf sessions with supportive practices on land, creating an active, restorative rhythm shaped by the ocean, the tides and the coastline around you.
Whether you are stepping on a board for the first time or looking to improve your technique, our surf retreats are set on the Atlantic coasts of Portugal and Morocco, where consistent conditions and expert coaching meet yoga, spa treatments and nourishing cuisine for a complete surf and wellness experience.

— FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is a surf wellness retreat?
A surf wellness retreat combines daily surf sessions with supportive wellbeing practices such as yoga, stretching, spa treatments and healthy eating. The focus is on enjoying time in the water while also looking after your body and mind between sessions.
Do I need surfing experience?
No. Our surf holidays
welcome complete beginners with expert coaching in a safe, supportive environment. Sessions are adapted to your level, whether you are standing on a board for the first time or looking to refine your technique.
Can I combine surf with yoga?
Yes. Yoga is a natural complement to surfing, supporting flexibility, balance and recovery. All of our surf retreats include yoga alongside the surf programme, and some offer dedicated surf and yoga packages.
What is a typical day like on a surf holiday?
Days are shaped by the tides and conditions. You might have a morning surf session, yoga or stretching midday, free time to rest or explore in the afternoon, and a second surf or wellness activity later on. The pace is relaxed and flexible, adapting naturally to the ocean.
Are surf retreats suitable for solo travellers?
Yes. Many of our surf guests travel alone. These are personalised programmes rather than group trips, so you can enjoy the experience at your own pace with coaching tailored to your level. Our solo-friendly retreats page may also be helpful.
