The Sea Retreat

I had an amazing week joining the surf retreat surf camp. Marina (one of the owners) and Gonzalo (surf instructor) took us to whichever beach had the best conditions that day, and the quality of teaching was great. Both beginners and more intermediate surfers got to learn a lot. Besides the great surfing itself, the accommodation is lovely in beautiful yurts, the food was incredible every day with possibilities for different diets, and the trips around the area allowed us to explore some nearby towns and nature. Callum and Marina are absolutely lovely and they ran a small, family-like retreat where I improved my surfing and made friends.

The Sea Retreat. What a wonderful experience! I grew up around surfers my whole childhood. I was too afraid to try it myself. A dear friend had gone on one retreat and convinced me to attend another one with her. So glad I did! Every part of it exceeded my expectations. The food was fantastic. The accommodations were top-notch. The hosts were amazing. I felt right at home immediately. The coaching was great and accommodating for someone who knew nothing. Lol. I cannot stress enough the importance of feeling so comfortable and welcomed helped my experience and success in surfing. Everyone got tailored individual coaching for where they were at. After a couple of days, our surfing attempts were a video. Later that evening we could analyze what we did how we were doing and how we could improve. This was immensely helpful. I got up on the board and surfed! As has been stated, a week is too short. But I learned so much! I cannot wait to go back.

Such an idyllic place—amazing food, great company, and fun waves! I can’t wait to go back ☺️

What an amazing experience! Everything about this place is truly exceptional. The atmosphere is super chilled with all aspects catered for, the grub is superb and accommodation (yurts) are both funky, comfortable and cosy.

All surf lessons are well balanced, all abilities catered for with plenty of theory backed up with various locations to put it all into practice. Instruction is very one to one with everyone getting plenty of feedback with loads of opportunities to test what’s been learned with great instructors.

I highly recommend the sea retreat, what’s not to like and would always be willing to come back for more.

Had the best week surfing with the Sea Retreat. They looked after us so well, recommended locations based on conditions and our abilities to ensure we all got the best from every session. The food was beyond amazing, so delicious and super fresh and healthy. The yurt was so comfortable, warm at night and spacious. You couldn't ask for better hosts. I would 100% recommend to anyone and I will definitely be back.

The Sea Retreat is a brilliant surf camp; excellent people, first-class coaching, and delicious food. The accommodation is clean and very comfortable, with a relaxed, tranquil vibe - a great place to hang out with fellow guests after a surf. The wetsuits and boards were in excellent condition, and the ratio between instructors and guests was outstanding. The quality of Marina's coaching was a cut above; an ideal blend of pinpoint analysis, clear explanation, and enthusiastic encouragement, her lessons were hugely informative and, just as important, fun. Cal served up a range of fantastic dishes based on local ingredients, which powered us through the week, and was also generous with helpful surf tips. Cal and Marina were exemplary hosts, great company and very welcoming - a week was too short! I hope to return. Highly recommended!

The Sea Retreat does exactly what it says on the tin. What a wonderful week spent with Cal and Marina and all our new friends. Great atmosphere, excellent surf instruction and tasty food. A home away from home. Thanks so much guys, I'm sure we'll be seeing each other again 😎

I had an amazing time at The Sea Retreat with Marina and Cal, a beautiful and very comfortable place to stay in the yurts, surrounded by a tranquil garden.

As an absolute beginner surfer I felt supported in learning and well prepared get into the sea after the technical class on land. Lovely waves and a good time to practice in the water every morning with great analysis of how we were progressing afterwards - thanks Marina!

Cal's food was really delicious and we had a good time making Pizza's in the pizza oven. Very grateful to have such a welcoming and relaxing retreat with the physical challenge of learning to surf every morning. Huge thanks to The Sea Retreat, hope to return one day!

Hemos pasado 5 días en el campamento de surf, con comidas y alojamiento en unas yurtas muy bien acondionadas. Nos han llevado y traído a la playa. Una experiencia brutal. Muy recomendable.

We had an amazing stay with Callum and Marina. Very friendly waves at El Palmar, perfect for beginners and intermediate surfers. Marina taught us good technique and we started getting better rides.

The food was delicious and we got to try a variety of local dishes. Cal's Paella was legendary!

We are super grateful for the experience Cal and Marina provided. Would happily go back and recommend to friends.

Thank you guys!
