Salty Bliss Retreat
Salty Bliss in Crescent Head
24 - 27 July 2025
Join us on this bespoke Retreat - 4 days of Salty Bliss.
Waves, laid-back vibes and good times!
Escape for an unforgettable long weekend filled with adventure, laughter, and deep exhale moments.
Whether you’re learning to surf for the first time or building confidence in the waves, our expert female coaches are here to guide and cheer you on.
You’ll move your body with intention through daily yoga, nourish yourself with delicious meals, and connect with a group of like-minded women who just get it.
This isn’t your average retreat.
It’s an experience built from years of supporting women in the ocean - a space where you’re seen, supported, and completely free to be yourself.
Salty Bliss isn’t just a name. It’s the feeling you’ll carry home: Joy. Strength. Sisterhood. Self-trust.
Everything is taken care of - from transport to the surf spots to chef-made meals - so all you have to do is show up and say yes to yourself.

TESTIMONIALS
Emily Salinas
I don’t know a woman that I wouldn’t recommend this retreat to. If you’re on the fence about booking- this is your sign to just go for it. It’s the best gift you can give yourself.
Being surrounded by positive feminine energy was so life-affirming.
The young women who run the retreat walk through the world with such purpose, intention and light, and it is a privilege to be a recipient of it. The surfing is an added bonus!
Facilities, food & personel were all faultless. I will be back!

I went on retreat in Crescent Head. It was my first experience of surfing and Women Soulful Surf.
I wanted to learn to surf in a supportive and nurturing environment by women coaches with other women.
I was delighted when I came across WSS. Unable to attend the surf school due to location I decided to book a retreat.
I was very nervous but right from the very beginning the WSS hosts/coaches and other retreat guests were incredibly understanding and supportive.
They had my back and cheered myself (and everyone) along both in and out of the water. It was exactly what I had hoped for. Thank you WSS. 🙏

I had an incredible experience at Women Soulful Surf! The amazing, beautiful natural ladies created a safe and nurturing environment where everyone felt connected and a true sense of belonging. I came away with new skills in surfing and could feel my progression throughout the retreat.
The food was absolutely delicious, and the yoga sessions were the perfect opportunity to stretch and connect with my heart and mind. The surrounding nature was breathtaking, adding to the overall serenity of the experience.
I can't recommend Women Soulful Surf enough and I will definitely be booking again! Thank you for such a transformative experience at your Crescent head retreat!
