Sleeping through the Monday morning alarm is not uncommon. Whining over weekdays is not abnormal as far as a 9-5 work window is involved. But if every day is starting to feel like an existential crisis, a break is long overdue. No, not the 5-minute corporate break. A proper vacation where one willingly dumps their smartphone to sip Pina Coladas and surf the waves. So pack the bags and hit the brakes at a surf camp in Costa Rica.
Surf resorts are the ultimate luxury: a slight tan, a lot of breezes, a surfboard and a lot of fun.
What Are Surf Resorts?
It might look painfully obvious, but for the uninitiated, it is not. Resorts are more common in the everyday lexicon than surf resorts. Let alone a surf camp in Costa Rica.
So, surf resorts function pretty much like resorts, but there is a lot of surfing involved. Imagine the bliss of just chilling out for seven days in a resort next to the beach. Heaven is having no worries for tomorrow.
What About the Non-Surfers?
This is a much-dreaded scenario for a lot of those who accompany surfers. Left behind on the shore as the waves carry their friend forward. But what is a surf camp in Costa Rica with no surf coach?
Surfing is not an exclusive sport for people who seek adrenaline. Surf coaching is available 24/7 at every surf paradise, and there are also personalised programs. With every wave, advance the various surf levels like a pro-gamer. Unlike mortals, there is no added stress of overcrowded surf spots and sunscreen. Here are some things that’ll be instore in a surf resort:
Recreational Fun
Not into surfing? Tired of surfing? Well, there is always yoga and massage. Release the pressure within and let the masseuse do the job. Sit back and relax for real this time.
Haute Cuisine
Gourmet comfort is a priority—feast on meals made from scratch customised to one’s nutritional needs and taste palette. With groceries plucked freshly from the exotic garden, just like grandma used to make.
Resort Facilities
A resort is not what it is without its state of the art accommodation. A luxurious suite with optional beds, Wi-Fi, attached bathrooms, freshly washed soft linens. Endless spaces stretched out with a view. Hot or cold water in a shower or tub from which to pick. Room service that always serves and never misses. Pools for a light swim and an open kitchen for vacation experiments. Nobody minds picking a few basil leaves from the garden. Make sure not to get lost in the lap of nature and miss the surf lessons.
Rooms With a View
It is easy to dismiss surf resorts as a room with a limited view of only the sea. But surf camp in Costa Rica is more than that. Here, one gets to pick their view. It could be the endlessly blue coast. Or it could be waking up to birdies in the wild green.
But, Why Costa Rica?
The best destination for a tourist is the one with minor tourism. Those are the real hidden gems that haven’t been touched by tourism. Costa Rica is blessed with lush ecosystems brimming with diverse life. Vast acres of jungle, untouched. It has a rich culture that is not exploited by commercial tourism. It is a great blessing to immerse in its culture, its people and cuisine.
