Frequently Asked Questions

What if there's no wind?

No worries! We’ll dive deep into mastering slackline yoga, acroyoga, handstands or SUP Acro.  In addition, we can explore the island in all it’s glory. 

Beginner kiteboarders typically need around 9 hours of lessons, usually split into 2 to 3-hour sessions. It’s important to plan for extra days and include one or two weather contingency days, as kiteboarding relies heavily on weather conditions. But even if the wind doesn’t cooperate, you’ll leave with a fulfilling experience from the variety of other activities offered.

In the event of unexpected weather, your safety and enjoyment are our top priorities. We are prepared to offer alternative activities that are safe to practice outdoors. If outdoor activities are not feasible, we can transition to a variety of indoor activities, including yoga, acroyoga, handstands, enjoying delicious coffee, and playing fun games!

We recommend that guests come with more than one outdoor activity in mind, especially for weather-dependent activities like surfing and kiteboarding. Additionally, we suggest allowing extra time in your schedule to accommodate any weather-related changes. This way, you can make the most of your retreat and ensure a fulfilling and enjoyable experience, no matter the weather.

You will need to know how to swim. Other than that, no prior experience is necessary. Our instructors are experienced and can tailor sessions to your skill level, whether you are a beginner or an advanced participant.

Absolutely yes. Travel insurance is required to protect yourself against unexpected cancellations, interruptions, or emergencies. We will, in fact, not pick you up from the airport until we have proof of your travel insurance. Most travel insurance policies offer comprehensive coverage for these situations, so please ensure you have adequate coverage before your trip.

You may cancel your reservation and receive a refund according to the following schedule:

Please note that there is a non-refundable $500 deposit.

  • Cancellations before 2 months of the event: You will receive a full refund minus the non-refundable deposit.
  • Cancellations 1 month before the event: You will receive a 50% refund.
  • Cancellations within 1 month of the event: You will not be eligible for any refund.
  • No-shows: If you do not show up for your reservation, you will not be eligible for any refund.

Refunds will be processed within 30 days of cancellation.

Travel Insurance Requirement: Travel insurance is required and should be purchased as soon as possible. This ensures that your cancellation may also be covered. Most travel insurance policies offer comprehensive coverage for trip cancellation, interruption, and delay, as well as medical expenses and other travel-related issues. Be sure to review the policy details and restrictions carefully to ensure that you are fully covered.

Accommodation is provided in our comfortable home, featuring private rooms and shared bathrooms. We strive to create a cozy and welcoming atmosphere for all our guests. When staying at hotels or Airbnbs, you’ll have a shared room (double occupancy). If you prefer a private room, we can arrange that for an additional fee (typically $50 to $100 per day).

Meals are not included. We can recommend local restaurants or you can choose to prepare meals in our kitchen.

Maybe. If you enjoy night activities or prefer to explore the island freely, we recommend renting a car. It’s also a good option if you get motion sick as a passenger. Plenty of parking is available at our home.

You can book a retreat by contacting us via email or phone. We will work with you to customize your itinerary and confirm your reservation.
