How to Plan the Ultimate Nicaragua Surf and Yoga Retreat
Are you a yoga instructor or passionate surf traveler who wants to share your passion with others by hosting a surf and yoga retreat? Surf and yoga retreats allow hosts to travel to idyllic locations, like Northern Nicaragua, while sharing their passion for surf, yoga, and travel with fellow travelers who may not otherwise pursue adventure travel. Planning and hosting a retreat can be a daunting task for anyone but fear not, we’re with you every step of the way. If you’re wondering How to Plan the Ultimate Yoga Retreat, continue reading below.
Pick the Perfect Surf & Yoga Retreat Destination
When choosing a surf and yoga retreat destination, look for a location that offers a balance of activities, exists close to nature, and gives your guests a combination of relaxation and adventure. At our Nicaragua surf resort, our guests can enjoy the thrill of Northern Nicaragua’s world-class surf with the guidance of our expert surf instructors. When guests aren’t in the water, they can relax at our ocean-view resort by the pool or in a hammock. Yoga classes at Amaru are taught under the shade of banyan trees from our clifftop yoga shala.
Narrow Down Your Target Audience
Marketing a retreat is never easy. Even if you have a strong social following, transforming your audience from followers to customers is a challenge. To start, narrow your target audience by asking yourself, “Is my yoga retreat for beginner or intermediate surfers? Is my retreat for budget or luxury travelers? “Are my retreat offerings all-inclusive?” Once you narrow down your desired audience, you can begin to effectively market your retreat with targeted campaigns.
Work with a Committed Retreat Partner
Beyond our stunning location in Northern Nicaragua, everyone on the Amaru team is committed to delivering the best possible experience to our guests. We love working with retreat hosts and see it as an opportunity for us to share the magic of Amaru with as many people as possible. Our team is at your disposal for anything you and your guests may need during your retreat. During the planning process, we offer an open line of communication to help reassure your guests that they’re in for an unforgettable experience.
Plan for the Worst & Hope for the Best
As a retreat host, you hope that things run smoothly, but unfortunately, sometimes it’s out of your control. When you’re depending on the cooperation of swell and weather, it’s always a good idea to have contingency plans for rainy days and flat spells. At Amaru, our vast property offers guests a variety of activities outside of the surf. No surf, no provblem. We can help you plan an adventure, like volcano boarding, a trip to León, or an estuary SUP/ kayak tour.
Stop and Smell the Roses
During your retreat, you may be at work, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy yourself. Take time out of each day to appreciate the beauty that surrounds you and remind yourself that not everyone gets to surf in Northern Nicaragua during their work week. We’re lucky to call Amaru home, and we cannot wait to share the beauty of Northern Nicaragua with you and your guests.
