Frequently Asked Questions.
The answers to the questions your friends will probably ask.
The Retreat Experience.
Do we need surf experience?
Not at all.
How many people can come?
Most groups range from 4 to 10 guests. But simply let us know the number of people in your group in the Inquire & Book form and we'll work from there :)
Do we need yoga experience?
Also not at all. If you've never been to a yoga class before, under a palm-thatched roof with your friends is the perfect place to start :)
Will there be other guests at the resort?
There may be other guests at the resort, however the resort still has an intimate feel with very limited capacity. That being said, your yoga classes, group surf lessons, spa experience, chocolate workshops, etc. will be held with your group members only.
If you would like to plan a private retreat (it's possible, depending on dates and group size) please get in touch using the contact form on the Inquire & Book page.
