BEACH FRONT LIVING

Our own recently opened Surf Expedition camp, exclusive to our groups, has 20 000 m2 located by the beach, an organic garden, many fruit trees and coconuts, a bar, a restaurant and chilling area. We also have a small rescued dog named Chico, many wild horses that come eat the grass every once in a while. A wooden yoga platform has now been finished, perfect for sunset yoga and stretching sessions after a big day of surfing.

We even have our own exclusive wave out front!

REST, RELAX & RECHARGE

All accommodations for 7 days, 6 nights, in beach front bungalows with bathroom and hammocks in front of the ocean.  Fall asleep at the sound of the ocean while watching the stars in a hammock at night and wake up in front of the ocean and the breaking waves.

There is no wifi offered at the camp (for emergencies only), so that you can truly disconnect and create relationships during your stay. We focus on providing a family-oriented experience where you can feel at home, have some time for yourself to make a point on your life and next direction, live in the present as if you were truly living here, playing with the dogs, collecting your coconuts or just having an afternoon nap.

GOOD HEALTHY FOOD

Start the day with a delicious buffet of fresh fruits, home made bread, fruit juice, home made muësli, yogourt and top premium costa rican coffee.

Lunches and dinners usually consist of a selection of platters from salads, soup, sandwiches to more complex vegetarian dishes and curries. Most of our dishes are vegetarian but we can also cook meat on request if you tell us your food preferences prior to arrival.

Our bar is opened in the afternoon and evening with a selection of beer, wine, and your favourite spirits. Our menu has been designed by International Chef Dian Van Rensburg, South African chef who ran a 5 star restaurant in Cape Town.

Surf, Weather & Wave Consistency

With the right swell and direction, the area offers waves that are some of the longest wave on the planet. On the right day, you can surf the same wave for a km long.

We also have access to a fast and powerful wave in front of the property when the swell is consistent. Many other waves accessible by 4×4 and speed boat to reach hard to access amazing uncrowded waves, fishing, dolphin and whale watching (if lucky), and spending an afternoon doing a picnic on a turquoise water beach.

There are about 8 different waves to explore in the area depending on the swells and your surf level. For bigger waves and swell consistency come between April and September. Waves are smaller and perfect for learning  between January and April.

YOGA, HORSEBACK RIDING, NATURE

Daily yoga practice by the beach, with a stunning view on the ocean, surrounded by parrots and monkeys jumping around the trees to complement your surfing to stay fit, improve faster and prevent injuries.

Horseback riding along the beach and up the mountains of the native indian reserve, where we’ll take a break to collect oranges from the trees for snack, and see a ton of exotic animals and amazing views (optional activity).

River hike into a small canyon to swim in a fresh water oasis, surrounded by tall trees from the rainforest.

This is the perfect week to just turn off your phone, relax and reconnect with nature, your family or your friends; or just take a step back and recenter your life direction.
