testimonials

Jane, Marketing Executive from Manchester

"Our Salty Sisters Spain adventure in Andalucía was absolutely life-changing! Gemma's coaching was incredible - having a Welsh, British & European champion guide us through Spain's powerful waves gave me confidence I never knew I had. The international mix of women was amazing - I made friends with sisters from Germany, France, and the Netherlands. Sabrina's evening theory sessions about reading Spanish surf conditions were so insightful, and the yoga sessions overlooking the Mediterranean were pure magic. El Palmar's consistent waves and warm Spanish sunshine created the perfect backdrop for pushing our limits and celebrating every breakthrough together!"

Sophie, Physiotherapist from Dublin

"I've done surf trips before, but nothing compared to the Salty Sisters Spain experience! Gemma's technical expertise combined with Sabrina's psychology background created this perfect supportive environment where we all flourished. The Spanish waves were challenging but manageable, and having an international group of women cheering each other on made every session special. The photography sessions captured not just our surfing progress but the genuine joy and sisterhood we built. Sharing tapas and sangria after long surf days, swapping stories in broken Spanish with locals - these are memories I'll treasure forever. Already planning to join the next international trip!"

Lisa, Teacher from Edinburgh

"Spain with Salty Sisters exceeded every expectation! As someone who learned with Outer Reef in Wales, experiencing Gemma's coaching in Spain's warmer, more consistent waves was incredible. The international community aspect was special women from across Europe united by our love of surfing and adventure. Sabrina's guidance helped me overcome my fear of bigger waves, while the group dynamic pushed me to try things I never would have attempted alone. The Spanish culture, amazing food, and that golden hour surfing as the sun set over Andalucía - pure perfection! This trip didn't just improve my surfing; it expanded my world and gave me sisters across Europe."

WOMEN’S HOLIDAYS FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Yes! All of our lessons and packages include FREE wetsuit hire.

Let us know what dress size you wear (Women’s 6 - 20).

Of course you can! If you only have a shortie or are unsure if it still fits you (don't worry it happens!), let us know what size you are anyway and we can bring you a suit just in case.

  • A swimming costume/shorts  
  • A beach towel
  • Some flip flops or shoes to walk over the pebbles (if needed)
  • Any medication you may need (eg. Asthma inhaler)
  • Warm clothes to change into afterwards
  • A big smile and a sense of adventure

SUP: For ease, we recommend using one of ours. They are all top of the range O’shea, Jobe and Finla boards. 

Surf: If you have your own board you are more than welcome to use it but we do recommend one of our Foam boards as they really help when you are learning

SUP: No, you don’t need shoes, bare feet grip very well to our boards. If your trip is from Stackpole Quay, we recommend bringing some shoes that you can leave in a bag at the Quay as there are a few stones to walk over to get to the water's edge. 

Surf: You may want to bring some shoes to walk over the pebbles at our surf beaches. These will be left on the beach while we are in the water so please dont bring your most treasured shoes! 

The beauty of watersports is that anyone can give them a go! We have taken people on the water from every walk of life imaginable. All we ask is that you can swim at least 25m unaided as this is for your safety.

Yes, in most cases you can absolutely still come along to our weekends. All of our instructors take ‘rescue bags’ out on the water with them so any medications can go into this bag for the duration of the activities. If you would like to discuss this with us further, please drop us an email and a member of the team will contact you.

We do ask that you can swim at least 25m unaided in order to join us on any one of our sessions.

We use various accommodation providers across the South of Spain area including lovely country houses and hotel style seaside accommodation in El Palmar. Our accommodation has catering facilities. Please note, some accommodation can be shared.

Your accommodation will be well signposted with Outer Reef signage for your arrival and you can check in from 4pm. The following day your team of instructors for the week will meet you just outside your accommodation at 9am for a meet & greet.

Most of our accommodation providers offer self catering facilities so you can make your own breakfasts. For lunches we recommend packed lunches or you can buy lunch at our location venues which all offer options for food. We will book a lovely pub for Saturday evening so the whole group can enjoy a meal together.

Of course you can! The majority of women who come along on our weekends come solo. We want to connect you with like minded ladies who enjoy similar activities!

All our water based activities are subject to weather and swell conditions. We want to make sure you have the best possible experience on the water with us so we will email you the week before your arrival with a rough schedule based on the forecast and will fill in any gaps at the meet & greet at your accommodation in El Palmar

Right out front of our accommodation in El Palmar 

Our locations do not have changing facilities so we recommend wearing your swimming costume under your clothes. The beach has a cold water public shower that is free to use. All other locations do not have shower facilities. We recommend bringing a towel robe or Dry Robe to change after your session.
