You don't have a huge amount of vacation time and flights are not as cheap as they used to be, so it's more important than ever to choose the right place for your surf retreat. Swell is a tried and trusted destination for your holiday.
Here's 7 great reasons why our place is the right fit for you:
Purpose Built
"Unlike most 'surf retreats' Swell is not an old, re-purposed villa. Instead it was designed exactly with its purpose in mind, using a top Swiss architect, with the simple goal to create the best surf holiday possible for our clients."
Surf conditions
"The Dominican Republic might not have the best waves in the world for expert surfers, but what it does have however is ideal surf conditions for beginners and intermediate surfers to learn or improve their surfing. Uniquely, we have a year-round, reliable surf season and warm water (so no wetsuits are required and there's no rainy season to avoid)"
Surf coaching
"The Swell surf team has taught and improved the surfing of more than 8000 of our clients in the last 15 years. We use a unique structured & methodical approach to make sure our guests get the most out of their surf holiday, learning to surf with proven techniques."
ADVENTURE
"There's a reason why so many movies have been shot in the Dominican Republic, including parts of Speilberg's Jurassic Park: We are situated on the 'Amber Coast'. It's an island with quite breathtaking scenery. Green mountains, palm trees, white sand beaches, canyons and waterfalls. At Swell, it's not just surfing! You will be able to enjoy this natural beauty by joining in one of our amazing adventure day trips"
Meeting new people
"70% of our clients travel to Swell solo, as a result it's really easy to meet new people during your trip. We surf together, have meals together and go on day trips together. It's impossible not to make new friends"
Watersport paradise
"Swell is located in Cabarete, the action watersports capital of the Caribbean. There's a lot more on offer than just surfing; you can also learn to kitesurf, wingfoil, stand up paddle board, dive and snorkel. Any of those activities can be combined during your trip to Swell. Surf in the morning when the wind is light then learn another sport in the afternoon when the wind kicks in!"
"Thank you Swell for an amazing surf holiday; The staff was so welcoming and helpful during our stay. The food was amazing and the surf instruction was of the highest level. We will be back at Swell soon."
"First time traveling solo I was a bit nervous of going abroad by myself. The moment I stepped into Swell, all fears were gone. The vibe at Swell is so friendly between staff and the other guests, thank you for an amazing week!"
"Learning to surf had long been on my list of things to do. I am soo glad I found Swell online. The surf coaching was brilliant, step-by-step instructions had me up and riding on the board on the first day and improving quickly the days after"
"Wow, what a place! I'd been to a few other surf camps before I went to Swell; but this was the first time where social was combined with comfort. The whole place is so well thought out: comfortable beds, super clean facilities and very tasty food. See you backsoon!"
