Not just a retreat..
Two coastlines within easy reach mean two very different moods of ocean: powerful North Atlantic swells on the west coast, and smaller, more sheltered, beautifully shaped waves on the south- so there's always somewhere good to surf, whatever the forecast is doing.
Small-group coaching keeps things properly personal, whether you're catching your first green wave or working on your turns, with the same supportive Salty Sisters energy running through every session.
You'll be staying at Surf Mansion Lagos- a lively, social surf house with a pool, hot tub, sauna and gardens full of orange trees, with simpler annex rooms next door for those who'd rather keep things quieter after a day in the water.
Three yoga sessions and two cross-training sessions are included across the week, alongside a hearty breakfast buffet every morning and a weekly BBQ that’s become one of the camp’s best-loved traditions.
Beyond the water, Lagos’ old town, marina and dramatic golden cliffs are just a short trip from camp, and one of the world’s most photographed stretches of coastline is right on your doorstep.
And if you want to turn this trip into something more, this retreat can also double as your ISA Level 1 Surf Instructor Course- entirely optional, entirely up to you.
The Area And Surf Spots
Surf Mansion Lagos sits just outside town, with transport included to whichever coast is firing on the day.
Beyond the water, Lagos' old town, marina and dramatic clifftop coastline make it easy to fill your downtime, all within easy reach of camp.
ISA Surf Instructor Course
Run over 2 days alongside your retreat, the course covers everything you need to safely teach beginner and early intermediate surfers- from instructor safety and equipment to coaching methods, skill progression and programme planning- combining practical time in the water with structured theory sessions.
The ISA Level 1 is the global industry standard for surf instructors and opens the door to coaching work at surf schools worldwide. Whether you're a gap-year traveller, a career-changer or simply want to formalise years of experience in the water, you'll finish the course ready to teach- guided by a woman who's built her own career doing exactly that.
ACCOMMODATION
Main Villa: Twin, double and triple rooms with private en-suite bathrooms (a couple share a hallway bathroom), each with underfloor heating for cooler months.
The Cottage: A simpler, more laid-back annex next door- three twin rooms and one double, sharing bathrooms, sleeping up to 8.
Access to the pool, hot tub, sauna, ice bath, pizza oven and BBQ area is included wherever you're staying.
Basic info summary
ACCOMMODATION (summary)
Stay at Surf Mansion Lagos- a sociable surf house just outside Lagos with a pool, hot tub, sauna and gardens full of orange trees, with a simpler annex option for those who want a quieter stay.
MEALS
A hearty breakfast buffet is included every morning, with optional dinner freshly prepared by the camp’s own chef on other evenings. The weekly BBQ is a proper highlight — good food, good company, and the kind of evening that sums up why everyone comes back.
SURF LESSONS
Coaching here is genuinely built around you- small groups, ISA-certified instructors, and sessions tailored to your level, whether you’re a complete beginner or already comfortable in the water.
With two coastlines to choose from, your coaches always have somewhere good to take the group- powerful North Atlantic swell on the west coast, or smaller, more sheltered, perfectly shaped waves on the south, depending on what the day’s conditions call for.
Want to take it further still? This week can also be your route to an ISA Level 1 Surf Instructor Course, run alongside the retreat- entirely optional, entirely up to you.
SURF EQUIPMENT
Surfboards and wetsuits are provided for every coached session, matched to your ability and the conditions at whichever coast is firing that day.
CAMP ACTIVITIES
Three yoga sessions and two cross-training sessions are included across the week, alongside access to an outdoor gym with sea views for whenever you want to keep moving between surf sessions.
Paddling out together is where the Salty Sisters spirit really shows- cheering each other into waves, celebrating every small win, and building the kind of friendships that carry on long after the trip ends.
The pool and sea-view bar are where camp life happens between sessions, with beach volleyball and relaxed evening walks rounding out the week.
