17 - 23 August 2025 (SOLD OUT)
Surf, Connect, Reignite your spark - in the island paradise.
Join us in Siargao, the Philippines' surf capital and tropical gem, where palm trees line the shore, crystal-clear waters invite you in, and oceanfront accommodation puts you right at the heart of the island rhythm.
This retreat is all about connection - with the ocean, with other inspiring women, and with yourself. Whether you're at the beginning of your surfing journey or looking to level up your skills, you'll be supported every step of the way in a fun,
encouraging environment.
Each day brings new adventures: playful surf sessions, yoga to ground and energise, nourishing food, and time to soak up the beauty of the island.
It's the ultimate mix of joy, discovery, rest, and connection.
This isn’t just a surf & yoga retreat. It’s a space where you’re free to show up exactly as you are, embrace your growth, and walk away more connected - to your confidence, your community, and your soul.
Come experience the magic of Siargao - the surf, the sisterhood, and the Salty Bliss.
Surfing
Improve your skills!
With its variety of surf spots, Siargao is a surf progression paradise! You will benefit from this retreat the most if you already have some basic surfing experience.
Retreat Hotel
Ocean front, high-end glamping accommodation
Glamping tents and bungalows, nestled in between the palm trees overlooking turquoise water - you've arrived in Paradise!
Yoga
Perfect addition to all the salty sessions!
Relax after hours in the water, stretch and restore tired muscles.
Siargao
Where the palm trees meet the ocean
The ultimate island destination.
After 2hrs flight from Manila, you will land on the most magical, awe-inspiring island! We've fallen in love with this place and can't wait to share it with you!
The Place
We will stay at Punta Punta - an oceanfront, high-end glamping resort. It's a perfect place to reconnect with nature and experience island vibes!
Nestled between a sleepy local village and the deep blue Pacific Ocean.
Within minutes you can be at the best bars and restaurants General Luna has to offer. Yet, you won’t hear more than a rooster’s crow or splashing waves during your afternoon siesta. It's the best of both worlds. Far away, but so close.
There are 2 Glamping Bungalows with twin beds, 2 Glamping Bungalows with King beds and 1 Private Glamping Tent with king bed. Each of them features a private outdoor bathroom, a veranda with a sitting area, AC, and a fan.
For those seeking some island luxury - the Surf Villa will be a perfect choice. The villa features 2 Private Bedrooms with queen beds, AC and ceiling fans, a spacious living area with an open kitchen and 1 bathroom.
Surf
With 20+ breaks around the island, Siargao is a surfer’s paradise.
The experienced local surf instructors will take care of you in the water, while one of the Women Soulful Surf female coaches will provide useful tips during surf theory sessions to improve your technique no matter your level.
You will also be able to see yourself riding the waves and get detailed feedback on how to progress during our 2 video analysis sessions - the best way to advance your skills.
Don't want to travel with your surfboard - no problem, you will have access to a variety of boards in all different sizes.
This retreat is suitable for ladies from Beginner (minimal surf experience) to Intermediate Level. If you NEVER surfed before check out our Crescent Head, Lombok or Sri Lanka Retreats, which are more suitable.
Yoga
To complement all salty sessions we added intentional practices to our week together. Yoga & mobility classes to stretch and restore sore muscles.
But it’s not only about physical fitness - the real surf progression happens when all the elements fall into place! That’s why we included journaling and self-reflection practices, as we know that the mindset is the secret ingredient to take that next step on your surfing journey.
Classes will be led by our experienced female teacher.
All yoga equipment is provided.
Activities
There are lots of activities every day, but we planned some free time for you as well. You can explore the area, get a massage or chill by the pool.
Additionally to our everyday surfing, we will:
-
go on a day Trip up North to explore the best of the “quiet” side of the island. We'll visit Magpupungko Rockpools, Cave + Lagoon, Local Villages and Hidden Gems.
-
take you aboard Galatea for a private trip to Siargao lagoon’s most magical island. Heading out to the small fishing island of Mam-on and a stop at Naked Island for a sense of true wilderness, the day will be something to remember. Famous Boodle Fight lunch + drinks included.
Team
Helena - founder, qualified yoga teacher, asisstant surf coach, she loves to share her favourite places with you and create amazing experiences :)
