What a Surf & Yoga Retreat Here Actually Feels Like
Mornings open with yoga as the ocean wakes up. Days are yours to paddle out with a coach at an uncrowded break, nap in a hammock, take a cooking class, or do nothing beautifully by the pool.
Evenings wind down with a second, slower practice and a long, shared dinner.
No schedule to fight, no decisions to make, no crowds to elbow. Just salt water, good food, and the kind of reset you can't manufacture at home.
Beginner-Friendly by Design
You do not need to have surfed before. Most of our guests haven't.
Our coaches start you in the whitewater with soft-top boards, read the conditions daily to put you on the right waves, and keep groups small.
You get real attention, not a lineup of thirty strangers.
The same goes for the yoga mat: every yoga session offers options, whether it's your first downward dog or your ten-thousandth.
Our yoga retreat leaders are there for you.
Why Retreat In Nicaragua
You came looking for a surf and yoga retreat.
Here's why ours is on Nicaragua's northern Pacific coast, not the crowded south.
Warm water year-round, consistent beginner-friendly waves, and breaks you'll often have nearly to yourself.
It's more affordable than Costa Rica or Bali for the same tropical, oceanfront experience, and it still feels real — local character, not a resort strip.

What Our Retreat Guests Say
"Wow… just wow! Still Salty is an absolute gem. From the moment we arrived, we felt at home and immediately settled in for our week-long yoga retreat. Amazing food — always fresh and always enough. Beautiful yoga space with a view of the ocean. So many activities available — I joined the turtle release, cooking class, sunset boat tour, and sauna experience. The staff were top notch."
— Fiona, Retreat Guest
"I had one of the most healing and incredible weeks of my life at SSE. The setting is serene, and the additional activities — surf lessons, boat tour, cooking class, salsa class — were incredible. The food is fresh and healthy, the rooms are comfortable with a natural vibe, and the ability to connect with nature — stars, ocean, jungle — is such a unique and special thing. Highly recommend, and I hope to return soon!"
— Maret, Retreat Guest
“Such an awesome experience! Came for a surf retreat and within 6 days improved so much!
Francisco and Rafa are amazing coaches and worked with us every day to improve our surfing skills.”
