🌊 SURF STAY OF THE MONTH — OCTOBER
📍 Rise Up Surf Retreats · Tranquil Escape, Northern Nicaragua 🇳🇮
This month I’m taking you to Northern Nicaragua, to the most intimate of all the Rise Up Surf Retreats.
I stayed here for a week last February, and it was one of those trips I still think about.
Honestly, it felt like a paradise for introverts.
There’s so much space that you can choose your own rhythm: join the Rise Up team for a chat, or just disappear with a book in a hammock and rest. Both feel completely natural here.
Tranquil Escape is a 19-acre beachfront farm with just four cabanas, hand-built with local teak and stone. Max 11 guests per week.
The coaching is the core of the week: 2 surfers per coach, 6 days in the water and video analysis or surf theory every day. The coaches choose the spot depending on the swell and your level, and most days it’s just your group out there.
Out of the water: daily yoga, breathwork and mobility, and one ice bath a week.
The food is cooked by the in-house chefs with fresh local ingredients, and dinners are long, family-style and full of surf stories.
But what I loved most is that literally everything is organized.
Airport transfers, boards, surf spots, activities, meals. You don’t have to think about anything. You just flow with the plan.
So you can focus on what you came for:
Surf. Improve. Switch off. Repeat.
