Top 3 Iconic Moments
🤍 All White NYE Party
We start on the beach as the sun is going down, with an espresso martini in hand, watching the bon fire being lit and fireworks going off as the night sky takes over. We continue the party at our pool with the DJ getting louder, and everyone jumping into the pool.
🌅 Sunset Yoga & Reset
There’s something about this time of the year when reflection takes over. With a surreal sunset overlooking the water on our yoga deck as you let your body take in deep yoga pose, it hits hard here. Mix in some traditional SYB connection activities and you'll be emotionally charged to take on the new year!
🚤 MF Boat Day to Playa Blanca
We cruise the coastline on our catamaran to a secret cove with the whitest sand in Nicaragua. Swim in crystal water, relax on the sand, and share food, drinks, and laughter with the squad. No crowds, just us and an epic stretch of paradise.

FAQs
Because it’s one of the best ways to close out the year and start the next one.
You get everything that makes SurfYogaBeer great, surf, workouts, good food, and a strong group dynamic, but with a bigger crew and a bit more energy around it.
Days are still active and structured. Mornings in the ocean, workouts, time to reset. But as the week builds, so does the atmosphere. Beach dinners, themed nights, and a New Year’s Eve celebration that actually feels like something.
You’re not just going out for one night. You’re spending a full week with a group, so by the time NYE hits, it feels earned.
It’s a mix of movement, connection, and celebration, all in one place.
All of our Nicaragua trips happen in the same place, but each one has a slightly different focus and feel.
Surf Camp is the most surf-focused option. You’ll still get workouts and group energy, but more time is dedicated to improving your surfing and being in the water.
SurfYogaBeer (classic trip) is the best balance. You get surf, workouts, yoga, social events, and a bit of everything. It’s active, social, and the most well-rounded version of the experience.
New Year’s Eve (NYE) is our biggest, most high-energy trip of the year. Same core structure, but with a larger group, more parties, and a big focus on celebrating going into the new year.
Reset & Recharge is the most wellness-focused. Think slower mornings, more yoga, more recovery, and a bit less emphasis on nightlife. It’s still social, just more grounded.
No matter which one you choose, you’ll be staying in the same villas, with the same team, and getting a mix of surf, movement, and community. It just depends on what kind of week you’re looking for.
Yes, and a lot of people do, especially on the NYE trip.
The structure of the week makes it easy to meet people quickly. You’re working out together, surfing together, eating together, and heading into nights out as a group.
Because it’s a slightly bigger crew for New Year’s, there’s a good mix of personalities, but it still comes together fast.
By the time NYE hits, you’re not showing up to a party alone. You’re going into it with a group.
People who want a mix of movement, connection, and a good time.
Typically:
- Late 20s to 40s (sometimes 50s)
- Active, but not extreme
- Social, open, and easygoing
It’s a very approachable crowd.
Yes.
You’ll still have daily movement built into the week, including workouts, yoga, and surf sessions. Mornings usually start active, which sets the tone for the day.
That said, it’s balanced. You’ll have time to relax by the pool, hang at the beach, or take things slower when you need to.
It’s active, but not overwhelming.
Social, high-energy, but still balanced.
During the day, it feels like a classic SYB trip, workouts, surf, good food, and time to relax. As the week builds, the energy picks up with themed nights, beach dinners, and more going on around the group.
New Year’s Eve is the peak, but it never feels chaotic or forced. You can lean into it or keep things more low-key.
It’s a fun, social week with a bit more edge than the standard trip.
Everything is centered around Playa Maderas.
You’ll stay in a group of nearby villas just steps from the beach, with access to:
- Surf breaks
- Beach workouts
- Town nearby
It’s one home base, which makes the whole week feel easy and connected.
With us, it is.
We’ve been running trips to Nicaragua since 2015 and have never had any safety issues. We work with the same trusted local team, drivers, and surf partners who know the area extremely well.
You’ll be staying in a gated villa community with 24/7 security, and everything from airport pickup to daily activities is organized in advance.
You’re not navigating anything on your own. From the moment you land, you’re taken care of and moving as part of the group.
Yes.
We have a photographer and videographer on the trip, so you can stay present and still come away with great content from the week.
If you want to end the year in a social, active, and memorable way, then yes.
It’s a great fit if you:
- Like being around people and meeting new friends
- Want a mix of movement during the day and more energy at night
- Are excited by the idea of spending New Year’s somewhere different
It’s probably not the best fit if you’re looking for a quiet, low-key reset or a fully independent trip.
This one leans more social, with a bit more energy than the standard week.
