Popoyo sits on Nicaragua's Pacific coast, a place built around the water. Offshore winds blow more than three hundred days a year here, and the swell rarely stops, which makes it a natural home for a camp that puts surf and yoga at the centre of the week. If you want time to get in the water day after day, with coaching on hand and yoga to balance it out, this seven-day retreat is shaped around exactly that.

It suits anyone who wants to be active most days and come away having spent real time surfing. The sessions are expert-led, so a reasonable level of general fitness will help you get the most from them, but beginners and less experienced surfers are welcomed through the coaching. Each day includes surf coaching with a coach and a yoga session, and because surfboards and equipment are provided, you can simply turn up ready to get in the water.

What sets the rhythm apart is that the camp runs around the conditions rather than a fixed timetable. There's no set group arrival day and no rigid schedule once you're there; instead, the timing of each day's surf and yoga is shaped by the swell and the winds. With offshore winds so many days of the year and a swell that keeps coming, there's rarely a shortage of time in the water. Between sessions, the time is yours to rest, make the most of the beach, and recover for the next surf.

The camp is all-inclusive, covering your accommodation along with the surf and yoga programme. You stay at the Surf & Yoga camp itself, with room types and occupancy confirmed by the camp when you book. Arrival works a little differently from a standard departure-based trip: you make your own way to the camp, and once you're there the team will confirm the shape of your week and talk you through how the days ahead will work. Settle in, get your bearings, and meet the people you'll be sharing the camp with.

A typical day gives you both the training and the space around it. You'll surf with a coach and move through a yoga session, with the exact timing set by what the ocean is doing that day. The rest is open: beach time, rest, and recovery so you're ready to paddle out again. It's a simple structure that lets the conditions lead and keeps the focus on getting better in the water across the week.

Your stay runs for seven days in total. Included are accommodation at the camp, daily surf lessons with a coach, daily yoga, and the use of a surfboard and equipment. Flights, travel insurance, airport transfers unless stated by the camp, meals not listed, and personal spending are not included, so you'll arrange your own travel to and from Popoyo around your flights and transfers. The camp can advise on recommended options once you're in touch. If you have dietary requirements or questions about rooms, it's worth reaching out to the camp directly before booking to confirm what they can accommodate.
