Ready to become the best surfer you can be?

Eat. Sleep. Surf. Repeat. If you’ve ever wanted to live like a true surfer, our retreats give you the chance to do just that. Walk down for a sunrise surf before breakfast. Keep an eye on the kids as you and your partner take turns surfing in the afternoon. End the day with a cold drink and some delicious local food. Our El Salvador surf trips are ideal for:
  • Beginners eager to learn surfing in a safe and welcoming environment
  • Intermediate surfers aiming to refine their skills on mellow waves
  • Late-in-life surfers wanting to reconnect with surfing after a hiatus
  • Families craving a fun, active getaway with activities for all ages
  • Couples seeking a mix of romance, relaxation and adventure
  • Solo travelers wanting a laidback but enriching surf vacation experience
  • Advanced surfers who want to ride El Salvador’s best waves (minus the crowds)

Surf experiences for all levels

Young and eager to learn? We’ll teach you how to surf in gentle waves in no time. Mid-50s and out of shape? We’ve got boards and mellow waves waiting for you. Surfing is our focus, but we accommodate all surfcraft types.

Beginner, intermediate and advanced surf spots

The waves at our local beach are slow and gentle
but suitable for all levels of surfing. An intermediate or
advanced surfer can bring their beginner partner and
both catch waves together!

Expert coaching and equipment

If the coaching isn’t top-notch, your progress won’t be either. We’ve handpicked accomplished watermen and women to be our coaches, so you learn quickly, easily and safely.

What is the food like on a RETAXE surf retreat?

Our retreats offer delicious, locally-sourced meals that cater to different dietary requirements. You’ll enjoy traditional Salvadoran dishes as well as international favorites. Plus, there’s always fresh fruit and snacks available to keep you fueled.

Can I bring my family?

Our RETAXE retreats are family-friendly, which means there are activities for all ages to enjoy. From surfing lessons to yoga classes, your whole family can join in on the fun during our El Salvador surf trips.
