Grateful Surf Yoga & Ayurveda
Green hills, Pacific days, room to reset
San Juan del Sur is easy to enjoy in two registers: Pacific beaches and a lively town below, then green hillside quiet a short drive away. Grateful Surf Yoga & Ayurveda sits amid lush, emerald greenery about three minutes from town and the shore, giving travelers a nature-forward base without putting restaurants and coastal outings far out of reach. Its name brings surf, yoga and Ayurveda into the same retreat conversation, a combination that suits a trip built around movement and time outdoors. The exact balance may differ from one retreat date to another, so check the current program before planning around a particular practice. Bookings are paid, though rates and inclusions depend on the retreat; confirm those details with the center. Come for the contrast: a leafy place to reset, with the Pacific close enough to shape the day.
