✨ Who This Is For

This week is ideal for anyone who would like to deeply recharge, deepen friendships, and share the stoke of ocean time with an awesome group. Whether you’re focused on surfing, daily yoga & wellness activities, or simply would like to unwind in a spectacular setting, this retreat offers something for everyone.

Don't want to surf? No problem. Surf Synergy's all-inclusive package rate allows non-surfers the flexibility of replacing surf or SUP coaching with additional wellness services such as massage and body treatments or excursions and adventures from their menu. Non-surfers find that there is plenty to do, and they are happy to create a custom schedule based upon your preferences.

You will be picked up in San Jose by a private transportation option that will take you directly to Surf Synergy, about a 90-minute drive from the airport.

After checking in to the beautiful lodge that will be your home for the next week and unwinding a bit after your flight, you will share a delicious welcome dinner with the whole crew and go over any questions you may have about the week!

After that, head to bed and get ready for your first full day.

On our first morning together, there will be coffee & fruits provided around 6am. Sip a coffee and hang out on the patio of your room or in one of the common areas and watch as the town comes to life.

There will be a gentle yoga class on the outdoor yoga platform at 7am to unwind from all the travel. After yoga, there will be a hearty breakfast provided in the main common area.

After a short discussion about where we are going to be surfing and a little bit of land-based theory, you will head out for your first session. After catching as many warm water waves as you can, you will head back to Surf Synergy for a yummy lunch.

In the afternoon, there will be a cold plunge & sauna workshop. After the workshop, you are free to use those facilities at your leisure throughout the week.

Finally, round off a wonderful first day with another epic dinner with the crew, and head to bed early to do it all again tomorrow.

Exact schedule subject to change, TBD based on ocean conditions and tides.

On your second morning, you can enjoy the coffee & fruits provided after 6am. Maybe today you sip your morning coffee from the infinity pool overlooking the grounds and the town of Jaco, and watching the birds soar across the sky.

There will be another lovely yoga class on the outdoor yoga platform at 7am to wake up and invigorate yourself for the day ahead. After yoga, there will be a big, delicious breakfast provided in the main common area where you can convene with the group and share some laughs.

Depending on conditions, you may head to the same beach as the day before for your surf session or you may try a new one (the options abound)! Following that, there will be another great lunch at Surf Synergy and some down time for a nap.

In the afternoon, there will be a breathwork workshop where you will learn some principles of recovery breathing and more. You may want to do a hot-cold circuit after that to really work up an appetite for dinner.

Finally, complete the day with a shared dinner with the crew, and head to bed early to do some reading or chilling before bed.

Exact schedule subject to change, TBD based on ocean conditions and tides.

By this morning, you will have gotten into the flow of how things operate. Enjoy a light breakfast and coffee with a view, and get your mind and body ready for the day to come.

We will have our classic yoga class on the outdoor yoga platform at 7am, in which we move and flow. After yoga, there will be a yummy, shared breakfast provided in the main common area where you can chat with the group and staff of Surf Synergy.

Conditions dependent, you will head out for a surf lesson at the best beach for the day — after you digest your food, of course. After that and a great lunch, you may be one of the lucky ones who has their included, on-site massage!

In the late afternoon, there may be an optional dance class or a pop-up market where local artisans share their wares. You will also have the opportunity to have some down time if that's what you are craving.

Finally, complete the day with a shared dinner with the crew, and head to bed to rest for the day to come.

Exact schedule subject to change, TBD based on ocean conditions and tides.

Depending on the tour you have chosen, you may depart early after a light breakfast or you may have some leisure time this morning to start slow. Either way, everyone will be doing a new fun activity of their choosing!

There will still be three meals offered on this free day, as well as a yoga class, option to use cold plunge & sauna, and possibly even massages for some.

The idea is to get a little further afield to do something outside of the beautiful routine we have cultivated thus far at Surf Synergy!

Exact schedule subject to change, TBD based on ocean conditions and tides.

Today, you'll be excited to get back into our "regular routine" with a lovely morning yoga class and big breakfast to follow.

Today, we will also do a surf-specific pool workout which incorporates breathing, breath holding, and anaerobic exercise. It's super fun, a little challenging, and very useful for those of us who spend a great deal of time in the water!

We will also be heading back to the ocean for another epic surf session. We will have delicious lunch and dinner together, as well as some more massages for the group.

In the evening, we will head to watch the sunset at Hermosa Beach for a fun outing!

Exact schedule subject to change, TBD based on ocean conditions and tides.

Today is our last full day of this magical, health-inspiring, and wave-filled week in Costa Rica. Get up early and enjoy the coffee & fruits provided after. Maybe you will want to sip your morning coffee from your porch and watch the town of Jaco waking up as you see the colorful birds soar across the sky.

There will be one last delicious yoga class on the outdoor yoga platform at 7am to wake your body up for this last day. After yoga, there will be a final big breakfast provided in the main common area where you can convene with the group and share some laughs about the week.

There will be time for massages and optional tours in the morning, as well as sauna and cold plunge if you've become addicted.

After lunch, and depending on conditions, you may head to a new beach or one of the same ones you've been to. After surfing, you may be in need of a nap and that is perfectly okay.

Finally, complete the week with a last shared dinner and reminisce with your pals about what a week you've had!

Exact schedule subject to change, TBD based on ocean conditions and tides.

After breakfast and checkout, you will head back to the SJO airport in a private transportation (depending on your flight time).

So long for now, but we think you'll definitely want to come back again after this magical experience at Surf Synergy in Costa Rica!
