Southern Costa Rica | December 2 - 7, 2026

Reconnect with yourself through surf, movement, creativity, and nature during this immersive women’s retreat in Southern Costa Rica.

REVIVE is a 6-day surf, yoga, and writing retreat designed for women seeking personal growth, meaningful connection, and a deeper relationship with the ocean. Set in a private jungle resort near the coastline, this retreat blends adventure, reflection, and wellness in one of Costa Rica’s most biodiverse regions.

Now in its eighth year, REVIVE offers an intimate and supportive experience for women who want to slow down, reset, and reconnect through surfing, storytelling, movement, and community.

This retreat welcomes all surf levels, from complete beginners to experienced surfers. With nearby breaks within walking distance, daily surf coaching, and personalized instruction, you’ll have the opportunity to build confidence in the water while experiencing the rhythm of Costa Rica’s southern coast.

Throughout the week, guests will enjoy a thoughtfully curated blend of yoga, meditation, writing workshops, breathwork, movement, and restorative wellness experiences.
