Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely! Many of our guests arrive as complete beginners. Our small-group surf coaching is designed to meet you at your level, with personalized instruction that helps you build skills and confidence at your own pace.

Want to chat it through? Message us on WhatsApp.

Not at all! Many of our guests come to PVA on their own. Our retreats are intentionally small and community-focused, so it’s easy to meet other women, make friends, and feel part of the group from day one.

Arriving solo? We’ll take great care of you.

Daily surf coaching (small groups), guided yoga in our open-air shala, beachfront accommodations, all meals included (fresh, local; veg & GF options), airport transfer guidance, and a built-in community. Exact inclusions show on our date’s page.

No two days are exactly alike! Our schedule flows with the surf conditions, yoga, meals, optional adventures, and a little Pura Vida spontaneity. You can participate in as much—or as little—as you like.

Our guests span a wide range of ages, with women in their 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond surfing together. What brings everyone together is a sense of adventure and a desire to try something new, improve their surfing, and have an incredible week in Costa Rica.

Not at all—this is your vacation! We encourage you to join in as much as you’d like, but everything is optional. Skip an activity, relax by the pool, treat yourself to some extra spa time, explore Santa Teresa, or simply kick back and enjoy paradise. It’s your week to make exactly what you want of it.

Yes. We’re in Santa Teresa at a trusted beachfront hotel. Our team supports you with travel guidance, and safety-first surf instruction.

WAVE REVIEWS

“Thank you for expanding my horizons as a surfer. I have always loved the ocean, but this experience has truly changed my perspective. . . Hopefully soon I will be tearing up the Jersey shore. . . Thank you for being so wonderful and attentive this week! Now, if only I could master the art of enjoying a cerveza and surfing at the same time.”
