A surf and yoga retreat in Panama (but not the kind you’re thinking of)

Ready to trade the grind for green waves and grounding?

We built the kind of retreat we were looking for… one for beginners and returning surfers wanting real on-wave confidence, with a side of yoga and wellness.

This isn’t a fitness holiday.

It’s a surf and yoga-inspired reset powered by Mother Nature.

Not a scene but a sanctuary

We’re not here for performance or posturing. We do surfing and yoga differently.

  • 3 locations to choose from
  • 10 guests maximum
  • ISA-certified coaching with a 2:1 instructor-to-student ratio
  • Yoga designed around your surf and recovery
  • Enough structure to fill your week
  • But space to rest when you want it

We’re for you if…

  • You want a seamless, stress-free surf trip
  • You’re curious, open, keen to connect
  • You’re a beginner or rusty or ready to improve
  • You want uncrowded waves and something raw but safe
  • You want off-grid (empty lineups and no hassle)

We’re (probably) not for you if…

  • You want a party hostel
  • You need five-star polish and a poolside DJ
  • You need a packed itinerary from sunrise to sunset
  • You’d rather organize every detail

“Waluaa is a deeply human experience, crafted with real care and full of Panamanian soul. You will see and feel things that stay with you forever.”

Raul, Scotland

Choose your experience

Serious about our craft. Light about everything else. The following retreats are curated to make you feel more like you.

This is what stays with you…

  • You wake up rested
  • You walk to the beach without checking your phone
  • You paddle into waves confidently (and ride them to the shore)
  • You make new memories with new friends
  • You stretch out tight or tired muscles
  • You sleep deeply and soundly for the first time in ages

By the end of the week you’ll feel clearer. Stronger. Calmer. That’s the shift!

Santa Catalina: Close to what you need right now (and far from everything else)

Santa Catalina is a small Pacific coast town where the water is warm, the beaches are wide and life slips into a slower gear the moment you arrive. No fast food chains. No crowds. Just nature, uncrowded waves and dreamy sunsets. It’s off the beaten path, yet safe and easy. You can wander day or night without hassle. Leave your flip flops on the beach knowing they’ll still be there when you return. Completely zone out and actually enjoy yourself.
