Retreat Overview
From November 9th to November 16th 2026Welcome 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.
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.

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.
