Zanzibar Surf & Yoga Retreat

Zanzibar Surf & Yoga Retreat

Retreat Overview

From November 9th to November 16th 2026

Welcome to the ultimate salt-water sanctuary. This 7-day retreat is designed for those who want to find their flow on the waves and their strength on the mat. Based at Ebb & Flow Paje, just a 2-minute walk from the turquoise lagoon, and guided by the Aquaholics team of instructors, you will get to experience Zanzibar's ``salty side``. A relaxed, down-to-earth surf & yoga week in Paje - great value, real Zanzibar, no frills. Suitable for beginners and low intermediates. Hosted on site all week by Hanna.

7 Nights at Ebb & Flow
Stay in a relaxed beachside guesthouse just 2 minutes from the lagoon, with breakfast included daily. Choose between shared or private room options depending on your preference. Click HERE to see more about the accommodation:

5 Surf Lessons
Guided surf sessions with the Aquaholics team, tailored to beginners and low intermediates — building confidence and skills in the water throughout the week.

5 Retreat Yoga Classes
Surf-focused yoga sessions led by Hanna, designed to build the strength, mobility, and recovery your body needs to get the most out of your time on the water.

1 Reformer Pilates Class
A dedicated session focused on core stability and surf-specific movement, rounding out the week’s physical practice with our friends from Zanzibar Pilates.

3 Dinner Nights
Shared dinners together as a group throughout the week, including a very special closing dinner to celebrate the retreat together at Basil Modern Asia.

Signature Experiences
We include 2 of our signature activities: Maasai Jewlery Workshop and a Sunset Sailing Cruise for hands-on cultural experiences.

Retreat Host On Site
Hanna is with you on site the entire week — leading yoga, organising the days, and making sure everything runs smoothly.

Shared Room (Twins & Triples)

Private Room (Single)

Double Room (Private 2 Pax)

Do I need surf or yoga experience to join?

Not at all — the retreat is built for surf beginners through low intermediates, and the yoga sessions are suitable for all levels too. If there’s ever an activity you’d rather sit out, that’s completely fine — this week is meant to feel easy, not like a bootcamp.

What's the difference between shared and private rooms?

Shared rooms are twin or triple share, ideal if you’re booking solo and happy rooming with other retreat guests or coming with friends — this is the option at $845 pp. Private rooms give you your own space: a single at $1,055 pp, or a private double at $880 pp if you’re booking as a couple or pair wanting privacy without the single supplement.

Group & Logistics

How many people will be in the group?
We keep it small — max 10 guests — so the week stays personal and everyone gets to know each other.

Is this suitable for solo travelers?
Absolutely. Many of our guests come solo, and the shared rooms and group activities make it easy to connect with others from day one. If you’d rather have your own space, the private room options are available too.

Yes — the private double room ($880 pp) is designed exactly for that, whether you’re traveling as a couple or with a friend who’d like to share a private space together.

The remaining balance is due 1 month prior to your trip.

What’s the cancellation policy if my plans change?
The deposit is non-refundable. If your plans change up until 1 month before your arrival date, no further cancellation fees apply. Cancellations made 1–2 weeks prior can be used as credit toward another retreat or one of our custom Ride & Stay packages.
