Instructors
Saori Garcia
Saori was a national champion twice and has several international competitions on his CV. He is a great surfer, and a charismatic coach. He speaks Spanish, English and is learning Italian language.
Location
Be immersed in nature and stay just a 5 minutes' drive from the surf spot (they will drive you every day). Enjoy incredible sunsets by the pool with a local beer.
Explore the most iconic surf spots of Las Terrenas with your instructor and gain insider knowledge on where to surf according to your level.
Playa Bonita (elected one of the 20 most beautiful beaches in the world by National Geographic in 2025) is a surfers paradise. Active daily from October to April, it is a safe beach break providing constant waves of various levels, sea turtles, wild playful manati, palm trees and epic sunsets.
The west side of the beach is more advanced, frequented by intermediate surfers and local professionals, including two former national champions. It has hosted Olympic selection competitions and offers a glimpse of high-level surfing in action.
Playa Cosón is ideal for advanced surfers only, with longer waves and a more challenging fast break. Occasionally it hosts competitions and is regularly used by local pros for training, giving participants inspiration and insight into professional surfing.
Food
Start each day with a colorful tropical breakfast served by the infinity pool with panoramic sea views. Expect fresh Dominican coffee, exotic fruit platters, smoothie bowls, and energizing options like avocado toast or pancakes with tropical syrups. For those who want to dive into local culture, try the famous “Los Tres Golpes” — a hearty Dominican breakfast of mangú (mashed plantains), fried cheese, eggs, and salami, perfect fuel before a surf session.
Every evening, gather around for Caribbean-inspired dinners freshly prepared by our private cook. Think grilled fish with coconut rice, chicken guisado with tostones, or vegetarian options full of tropical flavors. %Menus vary daily, combining Dominican specialties with healthy international dishes to nourish both surfers and yogis.
Throughout the day, fresh tropical fruit is always available, and at sunset you’ll be treated to poolside local beer or cocktail — from refreshing juices to local creations like Mamajuana or piña colada — the perfect way to celebrate another day in paradise.
