Surf - Yoga - Food - Adventures

We host only a few retreats each year — small groups, carefully chosen locations in Costa Rica and Portugal, guided by locals. Expect surf sessions, yoga, great food, and experiences that let you truly get to know a place. When we open dates, they fill fast.

Why Mokum Surf Club?

Not a surf camp. A small-group retreat built around empty waves, local people, and the kind of days you’ll remember.

Surf progression

Small groups, focused coaching, and video analysis so you improve fast — without pressure.

Off the beaten track

Locations chosen for empty waves, nature, and a true sense of escape.

Guided by locals

Local guides, local friends, and experiences you won’t find in a standard surf camp.

Boutique stay & food

Beautiful places to slow down, with great food that’s part of the experience.

Destination adventures

Costa Rica: jungle, boats, horseback rides. Portugal: tuk-tuks, Lisbon, massages, sunset picnics.

Real stories from peoplewho joined our retreats

" Our days were perfectly planned with just the right amount of surf, adventure, and time to relax. Our surf instructors and the video analysis were great and really helped a beginner like myself. Every meal was fresh and flavorful. You can tell the bonds that Marthe and Jonne share with everyone are very special. I can't recommend Mokum Surf Club enough and can't wait to return. "

" At arrival Marthe & Jonne made me feel at home right away. The accommodation was nothing but magic. I came to crank up my surf skills and Harley helped me catch some awesome waves. The horseback riding through the jungle was kind of liberating. Yoga, massage, sunsets and probably some tequila — I had such a great time and would recommend it to anyone who's in for an adventure.

" My partner and I had a wonderful time. The retreat was extremely well organized and we ate amazing food with newly made friends. They even helped me celebrate my birthday by decorating the house and making me an ice cream cake! A huge thank you to Marthe and Jonne — we would absolutely love to join another retreat. "

Unique destinations

Don’t feel like sharing your waves with 10 other surf schools? No, neither do we! That’s why we explore the world for unique destinations that aren’t discovered by the crowds yet. Every Mokum Surf Club retreat will be tailored to its location. This means none of our surf retreats will be the same. Yoga, surfing, and amazing food will always be a priority. However, depending on your choice of location this can be personalized with either culture, nature, or personal development.

Private Retreats —On Your Terms

Not vibing with a group? No worries, we also offer private surf & yoga retreats. You get the same dreamy experience, surf sessions, yoga flows, epic nature, and delicious food, but entirely on your own terms.

Come solo, with your partner, or a group of friends. You pick the dates, we handle the rest. It’s the perfect setup if you’re looking to reset, celebrate something special, or just escape the noise.

Whether you want a full week of guided surf and yoga or a laid-back stay with just a few activities sprinkled in, we’ll tailor the experience to fit your vibe.

Reach out to plan your custom retreat. We’ll make it unforgettable.
