SEATAYA RETREATS

Find your balance, one wave at a time

Costa Rica Calle Cóbano paid

Surfing here is taught as a progression, from pool skills to ocean sessions, with confidence and balance treated as part of learning to read the waves. SEATAYA RETREATS pairs that hands-on coaching with stays in ocean-view villas in Santa Teresa, creating an active coastal escape rather than a retreat centered on meditation sittings. Meals are prepared with ingredients sourced from a local farm, and the menu can accommodate a range of dietary needs, including vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free and nut-free diets. Between surf sessions, guests can make use of a pool, spa, Wi-Fi and other practical comforts. The setting suits travelers who want structured instruction and time to unwind, with a wellness-minded approach running through both the surf coaching and food. Ask the host what your dates include, since the daily schedule and package details can vary.
