We will have one of the experienced local surf instructors together with Women Soulful Surf coaches helping you in the water.

Don't want to travel with your surfboard - no problem, you will have access to a variety of boards in all different sizes.
This retreat is suitable for all levels from complete Beginner to Intermediate.
Yoga
To complement all salty sessions we added intentional practices to our week together. Yoga & mobility classes to stretch and restore sore muscles.
But it’s not only about physical fitness - the real surf progression happens when all the elements fall into place! That’s why we included journaling and self-reflection practices, as we know that the mindset is the secret ingredient to take that next step on your surfing journey.
Classes will be led by our experienced female teacher.
All yoga equipment is provided.
Activities
We added some super fun activities to our Itinerary, to make this retreat one of a kind! We will:
-
make our own jewellery during a fun "Jewellery, Jazz + Wine" workshop led by a local Artisan Lauren. A glass of wine in hand, jazzy tunes and a table of little ceramic dishes filled with the most beautiful pieces for you to create with. You will have access to a stunning collection of pearls, handmade ceramic beads, colourful glass beads + high-quality gold-filled and sterling silver jewellery. Everything you need to create anything from earrings, bracelets, necklaces… even anklets.
-
take you to the state of the art Comma Bath House for the recovery session. Feel renewed from the Hot Rock Sauna and Magnesium Hot Tub. Alternate with Pail Showers and invigorating Cold Plunge. Discover the heated stone Hamman to scrub your body and shed any tension. We will drift between spaces exploring each element at your own pace and floating into the state of complete relaxation.
There will be some free time for you as well - explore Byron, go shopping, chill by the pool or at the beach and soak it all in.
