What is the Surf & Wellbeing Retreat?
The Surf & Wellbeing Holiday is a one-week surf camp designed for those who want to progress in the water while genuinely taking care of their body and daily habits. The goal is not pure athletic performance — it is building lasting new routines around food, physical wellbeing and self-perception. The programme combines daily surf lessons, a relaxing massage, a cooking class, personalised nutrition guidance, a bodysurfing and aquatic awakening session, and daily wellbeing routines. It welcomes all surf and fitness levels, including people who have never surfed.
Why?
Who is this holiday for?
The Surf & Wellbeing Holiday welcomes all adults regardless of surf or fitness level. It is particularly suited to:
- People looking to (re)discover physical and mental wellbeing during their holiday — not just sport
- Surf beginners wanting a first, gentle ocean experience focused on confidence rather than performance
- People wanting to rethink their relationship with food and daily habits in a stimulating, supportive setting
- Solo travellers, couples or small groups looking for a warm, convivial group atmosphere
Minimum group size: the holiday runs from a minimum of 3 participants registered on the same week.
When?
Week 1 : 31st of May to 6th of June 2026
Week 2 : 20th to 26th of September 2026
This exclusive surf package is suitable for all levels of surfing and physical fitness.
Where?
We've created an extension to the Villa Baïna in Seignosse to provide a dedicated space for Natural Surf Lodge guests. This room can accommodate a variety of physical activities such as yoga, physical training adapted to surfing (work on muscle flexibility and joint mobility) and, for the Surf, Health & Wellbeing course,
a clever mix of these activities.
Another option for private rentals

The team
Natural Surf School team — surf lessons
Surf lessons are run by the Natural Surf School team, EFS-certified (École Française de Surf — the official French Surf Federation quality label), on Plage des Casernes in Seignosse. Groups are organised by level, with a maximum of 6 to 8 participants per instructor. Complete beginners are welcome — instructors adapt their teaching to every profile.
Claire and Lucille — nutrition, routines and aquatic awakening
Claire and Lucille lead three complementary strands of the wellbeing programme: the daily Feel Good Morning routines (muscle and joint warm-up, breathing work, postural muscles and balance exercises), personalised nutrition guidance adapted to each participant's profile (diet, lifestyle and self-perception), and the aquatic awakening session — a gentle, playful physical activity in the ocean focused on building confidence in the water and maintaining fitness through bodysurfing. Accessible to all fitness levels, no ocean experience required.
Fayed & Myriam - Massages
Fayed is a wellbeing massage practitioner. He offers a relaxing Californian-style massage included in the base programme, and deep-tissue massages targeting surf-related tension areas (shoulders, back, neck) available as an add-on. Sessions take place in the dedicated room adjacent to Villa Baïna.
Myriam practises Heddo Massaji — a holistic bodywork technique combining plantar and palmar reflexology (feet and hands), abdominal massage and head massage.

Daily Feel Good Morning routine
Claire and Lucille share nutrition guidance adapted to each participant's profile throughout the week — not a prescribed diet, but a supportive, non-judgmental approach to understanding your relationship with food, your lifestyle and your self-perception. The cooking class puts this into practice: a seasonal menu, 5 snacks prepared together, and practical take-home ideas.
The aquatic awakening session takes place in the ocean, following a brief exchange with participants beforehand. The aim is to discover the essence of surfing through bodysurfing — riding waves with your body alone, without a board — as a way to build confidence in the water and work on fitness in a playful, pressure-free way. Accessible to all fitness and ocean experience levels.
One relaxing Californian-style massage with Fayed is included in the base programme — a full-body relaxation massage suited to post-surf muscle recovery. Myriam's Heddo Massaji sessions (plantar and palmar reflexology, abdominal and head massage) are available as an add-on. Both practitioners work in the dedicated room adjacent to Villa Baïna.
Every morning, Claire and Lucille offer the Feel Good Morning session — joint and muscle warm-up, breathing work, postural muscles and balance exercises. Optional, free and open to everyone staying at the villa. It is the daily ritual that prepares the body for a surf session and sets the tone for the day.
