Surf and Yoga Wellness Escape in Lanzarote, Spain

This 7-day, 6-night retreat in Puerto del Carmen, Lanzarote, is a perfect blend of physical activity, mental relaxation, and cultural immersion. The retreat is built around the philosophy that a true wellness experience should not be overscheduled. You'll enjoy structured surf and yoga sessions in the mornings, leaving your afternoons and evenings free to explore the island at your own pace, ensuring a truly restorative experience.

The surfing component takes place at Famara Beach, a stunning 6-kilometer stretch of golden sand backed by dramatic cliffs, widely considered one of Europe's best surf spots. With waves suitable for all levels, you'll receive personalized instruction from certified, ISA-qualified surf coaches. Each 4-hour session (including transport) combines theory and practice, covering safety, paddle techniques, and wave-catching strategies. All equipment, including wetsuit and board, is provided, and professional photos are taken so you can relive your best moments.

Yoga is an integral part of the retreat, with unlimited classes led by experienced instructors, including Barbara, an E-RYT with over a decade of teaching experience. Sessions are held at two stunning locations: an open-air deck at Los Pocillos with a breathtaking view of the beach, and a heated room at the Apart Hotel Costa Volcán overlooking the ocean. Styles include Hatha, Vinyasa, and Yin, making them suitable for beginners and advanced practitioners alike. Meditation and relaxation practices are woven into the sessions to enhance mental clarity and inner peace.

Your home base is the School3s surf house, a large, comfortable, and tastefully furnished property located just minutes from the beach in Puerto del Carmen. The house has two floors, including a fully equipped kitchen, two dining areas, two living rooms, two bathrooms, five bedrooms, a laundry area, and an internal patio. Upstairs, a terrace offers two areas: one for BBQs and one for relaxing, with comfortable chairs and yoga mats. The house is designed to foster a sense of community and home, with common spaces encouraging socializing, sharing meals, and exchanging stories with fellow travelers from around the world.

Beyond the activities, this retreat offers a unique opportunity to connect with local culture and nature. You'll have plenty of free time to explore the island's volcanic landscapes, visit the Timanfaya National Park, or simply relax on the beautiful beaches. The area around Puerto del Carmen is packed with wonderful restaurants serving typical Canarian cuisine, and our team is always happy to provide recommendations for things to see and do. By the end of the week, you'll feel not only more relaxed and confident in the water but also rejuvenated in mind and body.
