      About this trip

      Our retreat will hosted in a traditional Basque château, overlooking the Pyrenees in Bidart.  Bidart is a small village on the French Basque Coast, surrounded by fields, farms and a plethora of surf beaches only 10-15 minutes away.

      Accomodations

      Our dreamy French country house dates back to 1870, finished with traditional tiles and stone interiors. There are 7 bedrooms, shared bathrooms, a kitchen, large lounge, and dining area all spread out between 2 floors. There’s a heated indoor pool on the ground floor, a tennis court, and an outdoor area for lounging in the sun.

      Surf

      The French Basque coastline has a potpourri of surf breaks up its sleeve. The variety of waves and wave quality means there’s usually something happening for all types and levels of rider.

      Yoga

      We will offer a week of delicious yoga that nurtures the mind and body to open and restore the muscles and energy after a day of surfing. Our practices are designed to illuminate acceptance and gratitude for the moment and offer invitations to absorb mind-body-soul nourishment through grounding, opening, and restorative flows.

      Food & Adventure

      Beyond the fun surf & blissful yoga, your retreat experience features food at its heart with our private chef creating delectable farm-to-table meals. You can spend your free evenings tasting new wines and eating ‘pintxos’ (aka tapas) or dine at one of the Michelin Star restaurants in the area. In your downtime, take a dip in the pool or rent an electric bike to take in some sun at the beach or cycle through the charming coastal villages.
