Your ultimate surf getaway

Join us for a week of surf, yoga, wellness, and jungle adventures in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica

your all included boutique surf trip has arrived.

We provide a home away from home where likeminded men and women come to share a passion for surfing, clean eating, natural movement, and new connections.

Perfect for solo travelers, couples or groups.

Surf Improvement

seriously level up your surf game.

We live for the surf and can’t get enough. Think, glassy, perfect, lefthand and righthand breaks, your pick. In the mornings, we will surf at Hermosa beach, a black sand vast idyllic spot, with plenty of surf and minimal crowding. We’ll paddle out to the lineup to catch the sunrise and the glassiest waves each day and finish with a sunset session, just steps away from the villa.

About Our Retreats

A week of sun and salty sea, natural exercise

Our retreats bring like-minded men and women together to surf, connect, eat, relax, and have some fun. Escape the daily grind of checklists, schedules, and to do lists, and connect with the present moment, while seriously improving your surf game. Coco's Surf House makes living healthy easy. Living healthy doesn't have to be hard. It means a sunrise surf followed by sunset beers with friends at the end of a perfectly active yet restorative day.

Natural Movement

Blissful poolside sessions

If you’ve spent any time surfing, you know that balance, flexibility and mobility are all very important to perform your best in the water. A surfer herself, Amélina knows this well and her sessions are geared towards making you a better surfer in the water. You’ll leave feeling balanced and exercised both mentally and physically.

Luxury Accommodations

Luxurious, fully catered villas

Your home away from home, our villas take laid back luxury to a new level. It’s luxury without the fuss. Wake up naturally to the sunrise and an ocean view. Return from the surf with sandy feet and wet hair. Grab a fresh coconut, wander to the pool loungers and collapse in the shade.

Nutrition Made Easy

Farm to table, whole homemade foods

Here at Coco's, food is the key to our hearts and our bodies. Food is your body's fuel, and we make eating healthy nutritious meals easy. We will have an in-house chef cooking for us each day at the villa to ensure you are eating the freshest, most nutritious and delicious farm to table meals each day. We’ll eat family style so there will be a massive spread, with something for everyone. Homemade corn tortillas, seared tuna caught just that morning, mango banana smoothies, chia seed pudding… we could keep going but we love to leave a little to the imagination ;)

Connections with new friends

Everyone's welcome

We know your first question is, what if I don't jive with the others on the retreat? Coco's Surf House attracts down to earth, kind hearted, fun individuals who appreciate the simple joys of life like a beer with friends at sunset and a good laugh over a surf wipeout. If this sounds like you, we guarantee this is the place for you, and you will be surrounded by other interesting and open-minded surfing humans who want a week to disconnect, recharge, chill out, and surf their heart out.

Adventure to feed the spirit

Let your hair down and vamos!

Our surf trip wouldn’t be complete without a little thrill, as if surfing doesn’t scratch that itch enough. Saddle up and give your steed a little kick into a gallop on the empty idyllic shores of Manzanillo. Cross rivers, ride through the jungle, and make a pit stop for a coconut freshly cracked by a local family.

Chilled vibes

Guilt free beach naps, pool floats, and hammock hangs

That feeling of coming back from a challenging surf session to know that you can relax, nap, recharge, and chill by the pool with a book or chatting to friends. We live for it. You will have loads of unscheduled time to do as you wish, and a 4x4 quad to get you to wherever you want to go. Head into town, explore secret beaches, play cards, the time is yours.

WHAT a stay at COCO'S IS ALL ABOUT

Coco's Surf House's mission is to give you a week of stress-free fun, with surfing as the main event. Come to escape the ordinary, improve your surf game and get lost in the present moment.

A stay at Coco's is as much about attacking the day as it is about unwinding and chilling out. We're about surfing the sunrise and enjoying a beer at sunset with new friends.

It is vacation
after all...

As much as we love a sunrise surf, we love to kick back and enjoy a beach nap or a cocktail with friends overlooking the sunset. Unwinding and appreciating the solace of the present moment allows us to attack the next day with a spark.

most luxurious week long
getaways I’ve ever experienced

I have been on a few surf & yoga retreats now and can safely say that Nancy put on one of the best, most luxurious week long getaways I’ve ever experienced. The houses brought a sense of jungle luxury I’ve never experienced before and the entire staff she employed were so incredible and kind. The community that Santa Teresa embodies is one of a kind and I had such an incredible time meeting the local surf and yoga instructors. I left feeling proud of my surf progress, nourished from the fresh food, rejuvenated from the yoga and massages, and uplifted from connecting with the likeminded individuals that participated in the retreat. Can’t recommend this retreat and the town of Santa Teresa enough! Already planning my next trip back ❤️

I don’t know how I could’ve
enjoyed this trip more

This was an awesome retreat and experience!  The accommodations were fantastic, all the people we interacted with were so friendly and wonderful, and the location is perfect for having some private space but proximity to everything you want to do and see!  The surfing portion was perfect for me as a beginner - the instructors were awesome and made me want to get better and keep at it in the future.  I don’t do much yoga, but thoroughly enjoyed the instruction regardless.  It was a nice mix of challenging and relaxing, and very custom to abilities and preferences.  I don’t know how I could’ve enjoyed this trip more - Coco’s Surf House was awesome!

the perfect escape

Coco’s Surf House is the perfect escape and one that left me feeling so fulfilled.  As a first time surfer, I was unsure what to expect but the instructors were great and made everything approachable and fun!  Amelina is one of the best yoga instructors I’ve practiced with – so intuitive and hands on. Also the food… I’m still dreaming of all of the home-cooked locally sourced meals we had at the community table overlooking the jungle and ocean.  The week left me feeling so balanced, grounded, and relaxed. I dream of going back!

epitome of laid back luxury

I go to a lot of retreats, but Coco’s Surf House retreat was hands down one of my favorites. It is the epitome of laid back luxury, and the perfect mix of active and relaxing. The accommodations and food (a private chef!) make you feel like you’re at a 5 Star hotel, and driving to surf lessons or horseback riding on your 4 wheelers give you a nice balance of adventure. But perhaps the best part of the whole thing was the people—everyone from the surf instructors to the yoga instructor to the private chef were AMAZING and made me feel so welcome and at home. I was brand new to surfing, and by the end of the week I was out on the line up with the real surfers thanks to the incredible instructors! I will 100% be back. Thank you Nancy and everyone at Coco’s Surf House for an unforgettable experience!!!!
