Do you offer shorter stays?
Our surf programs are designed as seven-night weekly experiences, and we don’t offer shortened versions of the program. The activities throughout the week build on each other, particularly the surf coaching, theory, workshops and video analysis, so participating in the complete week gives you the full experience and progression structure.
Programs & What’s IncludedWhat days do the programs start and finish?
Our programs run on fixed weekly schedules: Xanadu Retreat: Saturday to Saturday Xanadu Village: Sunday to Sunday We recommend planning your flights around these dates so you can participate in the complete program. Your arrival day includes check-in and the beginning of the Xanadu experience, while your departure is scheduled for the following Saturday or Sunday, depending on the property.
Surf ProgramsHow many surf sessions are included?
Our surf programs include one coached surf session per day, according to the weekly program schedule. A typical surf session includes around two hours in the water. Including preparation and travel to and from the surf spot, the whole surf activity generally takes approximately 3.5–4 hours. The exact timing changes daily because we choose the surf spot and schedule according to the tides, swell and conditions. Read here why we believe one coached surf session is better than three free surfs.
Surf ProgramsHow long is each surf session?
You can expect approximately two hours of surfing in the water during a coached session. Including getting ready, travelling to the surf spot and returning to Xanadu, you should generally allow around 3.5–4 hours for the full surf activity. Surf times aren’t fixed throughout the week. Our surf team plans each session around the best available conditions for your level.
Surf ProgramsCan I surf more than once a day?
Your program includes one coached surf session per day. If you’re staying at Xanadu Retreat and would like to free-surf again, we can arrange complimentary transport to selected surf breaks. If you're staying at Xanadu Village, you are welcome to use the Xanadu board and go for an independent surf. Transport is not included but our team can help you make necessary arrangments.
