Besides the surfing, there’s Yoga on offer at Swell 3 x per week.
purpose built accommodation
When we started Swell in 2009 we didn’t convert and villa into a surf retreat, we went to award winning architects to design a purpose built luxury surf camp / surf retreat. At the heart of our surf retreat is a large open communal area where we have meals together, socialise and give theory surf lessons.
Our bedrooms are equiped with super comfortable californian king size beds with egyptian cotton sheets. You’ll sleep (S)Well.

Surf & Yoga Retreats for adults
For solo travellers or couples, our surf and yoga retreat for adults is an ideal place to stay and meet new & like-minded people from all over the globe.
Generally speaking, our clients are between 21 and 60 years old that have chosen to spend their holiday in an active & social way.
We surf together, have meals together and go on weekly adventure day trips like canyoning and snorkelling.
Surfing and Yoga are a match made in heaven and it`s no accident that the two pair-up so well.
Pre-surf stretching has been a vital part of surfing since forever: You’ll never see a surfer enter the water without doing some stretching first. Using limbs in a way that is alien to most other daily activities or sports can take its toll, even on bodies whose owners consider themselves to be quite fit ordinarily.

What our clients say
Best week ever! My best friend and I recently spent a week at Swell. We both felt that it was one of the best weeks of our lives! One of my most favourite trips I have ever been on.
Stop Searching! There was never a time I didn't feel at home at Swell. All the staff is warm, welcoming, and absolute professionals. The grounds are beautiful and immaculate.
Will come back again next year! Perfect for beginners, casual surfers and pros alike. You get to meet amazing people that you will probably be friends with for life.
Swell: simply the best. I never write reviews, but feel compelled to do so, as I prepare to leave Swell after 15 days of bliss. My body is battered, but this place uplifts the soul like no other.
Amazing ! Swell was absolutely amazing. First of all, it is extremely clean and rooms are cleaned daily. Secondly, the women cooks do an incredible job preparing meals.
Awesome place to surf and relax with great people! I was a solo traveler, first time in a surf camp. I didn't know what to expect, but everything turned out to be exactly as the website says, and even better!
Highly recommended!
Super-cool stay! Clare and Jim have really created a heaven on earth with Swell! Having now also read the reviews preceding ours it is difficult to add anything new. The 200 plus reviews accurately describe Swell, its atmosphere and your future stay there!
This is a special place, unlike anywhere I have been before. It is not a hotel, and it is not a hostel. It is luxury adventure camp for grownups. I'll be Back!
