In a few words
Lanzarote is a true sanctuary for outdoor enthusiasts, bathed in sunshine year-round. This week-long stay perfectly blends three complementary activities for total rejuvenation.
Your mornings will be dedicated to aquatic pleasures. You'll glide across the waves of the famous Famara beach, a spectacular surf spot framed by majestic cliffs, or you'll try stand-up paddleboarding on the calm, sheltered waters of Playa Chica , perfect for leisurely paddling. At the end of the day, outdoor yoga sessions will promote muscle recovery, improve your balance, and strengthen your connection with the marine elements.
You will stay in a comfortable private apartment in the heart of Puerto del Carmen, just 200 meters from the beaches, with a terrace and access to an outdoor pool. A full day at leisure will allow you to explore the island's volcanic treasures, such as Timanfaya National Park or the unique vineyards of La Geria.
The sessions will be conducted in small groups of no more than 10 participants, and you will benefit from personalized guidance. All technical equipment is included to guarantee a smooth and exclusive experience.

Day 4
Note
Please note that the program may be subject to adjustments depending on weather and sea conditions. As our SUP sessions are particularly dependent on the wind, there may be times when stand-up paddleboarding cannot be practiced safely.
In this case, the SUP session will be replaced by an additional surfing lesson or another suitable activity, to ensure that participants fully benefit from the value of the program.
Surf lessons can generally take place year-round in Lanzarote. However, in the event of adverse weather or ocean conditions, activities may be postponed to a more suitable time to ensure both safety and the best possible experience for participants.
