HOW MUCH DOES A
SURF RETREAT COST?
Short version: most week-long surf and yoga retreats run about $1,500 to $3,500 per person, and the number that matters is what is actually included. Here is the real breakdown, with SurfYogaBeer prices.
A week-long surf and yoga retreat usually costs $1,500 to $3,500 per person, not counting flights. The spread comes down to what is bundled in. SurfYogaBeer trips run from $1,950 for Nicaragua up to $3,250 for a week sailing the islands of Palawan, and the price covers accommodation, daily surf and yoga, a boat day, most meals, airport transfers, pro photos, and academy-trained leaders. You lock a spot with a 20% deposit and pay the rest later. Flights are the main thing you add on top.

What Is Actually Included
This is where cheap and expensive retreats really split. A bargain week might be a bed and a couple of lessons, with everything else on you. A SurfYogaBeer price covers the whole experience on the ground: a bed in a great spot, daily surf lessons and yoga, morning workouts, a catamaran or boat day, most meals, airport transfers, a pro photographer and videographer, theme nights, and academy-trained leaders who run the show. The one big thing not included is flights, which you book yourself so you can use points and pick your own routing.
How Payment Works
You do not pay it all at once. Lock your spot with a 20% deposit, then pay the balance later, due about six weeks before the trip. If life happens and you cancel more than 45 days out, your deposit converts to a trip credit you can use on a future trip. It is built so a few hundred dollars holds your place while you sort flights and time off.
Is It Worth the Money?
The honest tell is the return rate. 55% of SurfYogaBeer travelers come back for another trip, and the rating sits at 5.0 from 300-plus Google reviews. People do not re-book something that was not worth it. If you want a deeper look at value versus a cheaper DIY beach week, read our take on whether a surf retreat is worth it.

Is a private room worth the upgrade?
Shared rooms are the default and part of what makes the trips social. Private upgrades are available on most trips for more money if you want your own space. Most solo travelers happily go shared and meet their crew that way.
