5 Incredible Surf and Yoga Holiday Resorts
October 29th, 2019 + Wayfarers Atlas

Ever complementary; surf and yoga holidays bring together an award-winning combination for those who want to balance out. Both surfing and yoga can be considered spiritual practices and help to centre the self around nature, inner peace, and having ownership over your way of life. Beyond the emotional benefits, surf and yoga holidays work in harmony on the physical side; helping surfers to achieve better balance, core strength, perfect posture techniques and even patience when out in the water. Here are our favourite luxury surf resorts that deliver high-class yoga programs for a fully immersive body and mind workout.

The Top Resorts for a Surf and Yoga Holiday

 

Nay Palad, Philippines

On the island of Siargao, Nay Palad is a sure-fire slice of paradise and the perfect place for a surf and yoga holiday. Surfers couldn’t dream up a better place to be situated than only 15 minutes away from the world-famous Cloud 9. An incredible wave that barrels over a shallow reef, pros and world-class surf publications flock to this spot. If Cloud 9 makes you tremble, then Nay Palad is well within range of over twenty breaks to suit all levels.

Back at the stunning sustainable resort and sun salutations are practised at the Nay Palad Hideaway with dedicated pavilions and programs perched four meters above the ground so you can be at one with the trees. For extra-special yoga sessions, you can take the SUP out to the sea pagoda and bring out your daily practice against the backdrop of the pristine ocean.
