Surfing Holidays

The Sea Retreat is focused on enjoyment, food and surfing no matter what your level or age is. 
We focus on beginners and intermediates and we make sure you feel safe and confident during the daily surf lessons which normally take place on a wild 8km stretch of virgin beach backed by white sand dunes and the occasional palm tree.

Is this Surfing Holiday for me?

If you are over 30 (or near 30) we welcome you to enjoy this Surfing Holiday with us. You are also welcome to come if you have never surfed before or if you are an intermediate surfer. We adapt to your needs and our coaches will make sure to look after you and all of your necessities. Promised.
Our guests are usually between 35 and 65 and the atmosphere is very relaxed and easy going. We never host parties at the retreat. We'd rather have a meaningful conversation over some beers or wine, or go for nice walks in the evenings to catch the stunning sunsets. 

The Sea Retreat is located 3km from the beach in a lovely rural, off-grid area. There are animal noises during the day (the neighbor's donkeys, dogs, cows, peacocks) and you might hear the odd owl at night time. 
We also run on solar pannels, so hair dryers and high voltage appliances are not allowed. 
We (Cal and Marina) look after our guests as if they were friends, which they usually later become... So please, if the above resonates with you do get in touch!

Healthy, local and seasonal food

Cal prepares wonderful, healthy vegetarian dishes. The food will await for you after surfing and there is always salad and a main course. Cal is a bit like an italian grannie, so there is always plenty of food for you. Marina is in charge of desserts so you'd better leave some space for them!

Enjoy your freedom

We do surf lessons once a day and the rest of the time you’re free to spend it as you please. We will share with you all of our local knowledge and we can even plan or book any extra activities you might fancy doing. A massage, perhaps?
