Wellness Escape: Surf, Yoga & Life Coaching in Lanzarote

The retreat is built around three core pillars: surfing, yoga, and professional coaching. You'll have four surf lessons with certified instructors, with all equipment provided. The waves at Famara are known for being beginner-friendly, and the lessons are playful and supportive, designed to help you connect with the ocean and challenge yourself in a safe environment.

Yoga sessions run twice during the week, offering a chance to stretch out surfing-sore muscles and settle your mind. These classes are gentle and grounding, suitable for all levels.

The coaching sessions are the heart of the retreat. Six sessions in total, including an intake conversation before you arrive, are led by Marjolein Kooijman, an EMCC/NOBCO certified coach with over 25 years of experience in the music and cultural sector. You'll set clear goals before the retreat and then work on them throughout the week, using the surf and yoga as a backdrop for reflection and breakthrough.

Because the program is tailor-made, you'll have a say in the daily schedule. You might choose to have more coaching sessions in the morning and free time in the afternoon, or spread them out across the week. The retreat is as much about relaxation as it is about growth, so there's plenty of unstructured time to explore the village, read on the beach, or take a nap.

The location itself is a huge draw. Famara is an authentic village with a laid-back vibe, nestled at the foot of the Famara cliffs and the Timanfaya National Park. The setting is dramatic and peaceful, a world away from busy tourist resorts. You'll feel the wind and the salt air, eat fresh seafood at local spots, and truly switch off from the noise of daily life.
