Surf, Sunshine and Connection
A Fuerteventura Retreat Created for Women
Salty Sisters Fuerteventura is about giving yourself space to recover from the pace of normal life. Sunshine, ocean time, movement and relaxed island living create a simple rhythm that helps you reset.
You can attend independently or travel with friends. There is no pressure to perform, keep up or fill every hour. The retreat is designed to help every guest feel stronger, calmer and more refreshed in her own way.

Is Fuerteventura Right for You?
For Women Who Need Space to Breathe Again
Fuerteventura is ideal if work, responsibilities or everyday life have left you feeling tired, overstretched or disconnected from yourself.
The retreat gives you time outside, gentle activity, warm sunshine, ocean experiences and enough space to rest without turning wellbeing into another thing you have to achieve.
- Step away from everyday demands
- Spend meaningful time outside
- Move without pressure
- Reconnect with the ocean
- Eat well and sleep deeply
- Return home feeling refreshed
I need a break from work and everyday life.
Why Fuerteventura?
North-Shore Waves, Year-Round Sun and a Slower Island Rhythm
The retreat is based in Lajares, a creative north-shore village at the foot of Calderón Hondo. From here, the island feels open, spacious and naturally suited to a week of surfing, movement and recovery.
Fuerteventura combines Atlantic swell, clear water, volcanic scenery and a dry, sunny climate. Days can be shaped around the best conditions for surfing and paddle boarding, while still leaving space for yoga, rest, local food and slow evenings.
- Lajares village base on the north shore
- Calderón Hondo directly above the village
- Warm Canary Islands climate
- Clear Atlantic water
- Surf options for different abilities
- Relaxed island lifestyle
Retreat Location
Stay in Lajares, Beneath Calderón Hondo
Lajares is a small, artsy village on Fuerteventura’s north shore. It feels local rather than resort-like, with cafés, independent shops, bakeries and everyday island life all within easy reach.
A Village You Can Actually Live In
The lodge sits close enough to Lajares for guests to enjoy the village between activities. Walk for coffee, browse small local shops, pick up something from the bakery or simply spend time watching island life unfold.
Calderón Hondo rises above the village and gives the retreat a strong sense of place. It is not simply a generic Canary Islands surf trip; it is a week rooted in one of Fuerteventura’s most distinctive north-shore communities.
- Walkable village atmosphere
- Independent cafés and local shops
- Creative, relaxed north-shore community
- Easy access to surf and island experiences

The Coaching
Progress Without Pressure
You do not need to be a confident or experienced surfer to join. Some guests may be surfing for the first time, while others may already be catching unbroken waves.
Coaching locations and session intensity are selected around wind, swell, safety, ability and the group’s energy. The goal is to help you enjoy the ocean, build confidence and make progress without creating a competitive atmosphere.
- Beginners welcome
- Progressing surfers supported
- No competitive atmosphere
- Safety-led surf selection
- Sessions adapted to energy levels
- Wave choice and positioning support
- Equipment guidance
- Time to simply enjoy the ocean
Beginners

Build confidence with equipment, beach awareness, pop-up technique and catching your first waves.
Progression

Work on positioning, wave selection and confidence in conditions suited to your ability.
Experience
Enjoy the Whole Journey
The focus stays on confidence, enjoyment and meaningful ocean time rather than perfect performance.
Accommodation
Your Lajares Surf-Lodge Base
The lodge is designed around outdoor living, warm weather and a relaxed island rhythm. It gives the group somewhere comfortable to return to after surfing, yoga and exploring, without making the retreat feel over-organised.
- Relaxed surf-lodge setting in Lajares
- Swimming pool and outdoor spaces
- Indoor and outdoor social areas
- Comfortable shared living environment
- Space to rest between activities
- A welcoming base for solo travellers
Exact room layouts, occupancy and meal arrangements will be confirmed with the final retreat package. The reused Portugal breakfast image has been removed so every image on this page represents Fuerteventura or the retreat experience accurately.
Solo Travellers
Come on Your Own. You Won’t Be Alone.
Many women would love to take a surf trip but do not have somebody available to travel with. Salty Sisters makes it easier to take that step independently.
Surf sessions, yoga, village walks, shared meals and relaxed lodge life create natural opportunities to get to know the other guests without forcing the group atmosphere.
- Friendly for solo travellers
- No need to attend with a friend
- Different ages welcome
- Supportive group atmosphere
- Shared experiences and meals
- Space for quiet time
Come for the sunshine and surfing, but expect the friendships and shared experiences to become an equally important part of the retreat.
