FAQ

How do I get there?

Travel into San Jose (SJO) Airport, then take a regional flight to Cobano, where the team will pick you up and bring you to the property. If you need help booking the regional flight, assistance can be arranged.

IMPORTANT
If you plan to bring your own board, please note that the regional planes cannot accommodate surfboards longer than 6 ft 7 in.

What is Santa Teresa like?

Santa Teresa is a dreamy beach town on Costa Rica’s Pacific coast, known for palm-lined beaches, world-class waves, stunning sunsets, and a relaxed yet lively atmosphere. The town is small and welcoming, with great cafés, surf shops, yoga studios, and a vibrant international community. It offers a perfect mix of adventure and ease, with mornings in the water, afternoons at waterfalls, and evenings spent watching the sun set over the ocean.

What if I join the retreat solo?

Coming solo is absolutely welcome. It is a wonderful way to meet like-minded women who share an interest in surf, yoga, and adventure. Shared accommodations are arranged unless a private room is booked, and by the end of the week, many guests feel like they have known their retreat group for years.

What does a day on retreat look like?

Each day is thoughtfully balanced with structure and free time so you can surf, rest, and enjoy Costa Rica at your own pace. A typical day may include:

Morning yoga to stretch, wake up, and set the tone for the day
Breakfast together with fresh, healthy food prepared by the in-house chef
A morning surf session, with guides taking the group to the best break of the day
Relaxation and free time to enjoy the pool, explore the 30-acre property, or journal on the terrace
An excursion or second surf session, such as waterfall hikes, sunset beach time, or another wave-filled session
Group dinner back at the villa, followed by time to connect, unwind, or stargaze by the pool

Do I need to know how to surf?

You do not need to be an expert, but guests should understand surf etiquette and be able to paddle out and pop up on their own.

How do I reserve my spot and pay?

To reserve your place, a $500 non-refundable deposit is required.
Payment plans are available in 2 installments, and payments can be made through Shopify checkout by credit card or fee-free via Zelle.
