It’s a world-class operation with some of the most experienced, professional, friendly and fun instructors of any surf camp Costa Rica has to offer. You can chose from surf camp Costa Rica packages varying from a couple days to multiple weeks, with as much or as little surfing included as you can handle. We also offer yoga retreats with daily beachside classes from well-trained expert yogis. And once you’ve had enough of the surf, our villas offer a perfect environment to relax and recover from the day’s adventures on the water. From lush tropical gardens to our open-air rancho, which includes a fully-equipped entertainment area, Shaka is an ideal place to chill out until you’re ready to paddle out again.

Shaka Beach & Surf Retreat of Costa Rica is a private tropical haven nestled in lush jungle surroundings, home to a diverse array of local flora and fauna including monkeys, birds, and native fruit trees. We offer luxurious, spacious villas, Costa Rica yoga retreat and surf camp Costa Rica packages at an affordable price. Our boutique hotel is an alluring example of modern tropical architecture, designed to be used individually or together as one “house.”

The gated, close grouping of private teak-lined villas is perfect for accommodating family gatherings, close friends, honeymooners, or private surf retreats. Additionally, our open-air palm rancho and complete kitchen provide a private dining and entertainment area. A short walk leads to one of the most beautiful tranquil white sand beaches in all of Costa Rica. Perfect for swimming, relaxing on the sand, and learning to surf.  Enjoy a sunset (or sunrise) under the swaying palms at this safe, sandy, family-friendly beach break.
