Shaka Beach Retreat

Shaka Beach Retreat offers a unique blend of surf lessons and daily yoga classes in a relaxed, community-focused environment. Nestled in the heart of Santa Teresa, participants can enjoy the tropical beach lifestyle while immersing themselves in nature. This retreat is ideal for those looking to learn to surf, connect with like-minded individuals, and unwind in a serene setting. With comfortable accommodations and delicious meals, Shaka provides a welcoming atmosphere for both beginners and experienced surfers alike.

Shaka Costa Rica is built for a “surf + reset” getaway—daily surf coaching, daily yoga, and a relaxed beach-camp vibe with a few resort-style comforts. Their Playa Hermosa location (near Santa Teresa) puts you right in the Hermosa surf zone, so you can easily catch the best conditions for your level. It’s especially beginner-friendly, with an emphasis on safety and small-group/personalized instruction (they note a 3:1 student ratio in their beginner camp info). Booking is straightforward, with options for quick online booking or reaching out for help building a custom stay (including booking with as little as 50% down).
