In a few words
Welcome to Sambaia, much more than just a surf camp, it's a magical place where time slows down and what truly matters takes center stage.
I invite you to experience an incredible gliding and wellness experience that will allow you to discover and enjoy the benefits of the ocean, alone or with friends.
Here in Carcans Plage, a small village nestled between dunes and pine forest.
One week, a new lease of life
Our week-long stays in July and August are designed as a true escape by the ocean. You'll fall asleep in our beautifully decorated Salty Tipis, lulled by the soothing sound of waves lapping the shore. Your day begins in this little paradise at the camp, just 200 meters from the beach.
The Sambaia rhythm: Surfing, Yoga & Sharing
Each week is an invitation to challenge yourself, to find your balance at your own pace:
- Surfing: You will have a surfboard and wetsuit included in your pack to go surfing independently.
You can also choose to take surfing lessons for an additional fee. You'll discover and progress in the waves during these surfing lessons, which are suitable for all levels. Whether you're a beginner or looking to improve, the energy of the wave is the ideal playground to progress and have fun.
- Yoga under the pine trees: We offer yoga sessions under the pine trees if you wish to practice (bookable on site)
