Suave Dulce
Suave Dulce is a place for adventurous women (and occasionally men) to come together and encourage each other to fulfill their goals. Whether you want to stand up and ride a wave for the first time, finally learn how to duck dive, or come out of your first barrel, we will help you achieve.
The schedule is flexible and surfing is the priority. In between surf sessions there’s yoga, horseback riding on the beach, estuary boat cruises, amazing food, relaxing hammock swinging, and laughing with new friends over sunset cocktails.
A typical day looks like this:
6:30am wake up for coffee/tea/juice and a light breakfast of bagels or yogurt and granola with fruit.
7:30/8am surfing until everyone is tired which is usually about 10 or 11am (if you get tired earlier, you can just make the short walk back on your own)
11:30am lunch
2:30pm yoga
4:30pm afternoon adventure, which could include: second surf session, horseback riding, cocktails at another awesome resort nearby, estuary boat cruise.
Surfing when the conditions are best is the priority, which means the schedule will shift depending on the tide and swell conditions. Some days the surf might not be amazing so there will be a shorter surf session and two yoga sessions. On days where the surf is perfect we’ll surf as much as possible and yoga will be cut short. We will also work in a few opportunities to interact with and give back to the local community, which will vary week to week. We might visit the local school and do art projects with the kids, feed the families that live at the city dump, or visit the local medical clinic to donate supplies.
There is no need to worry about coming alone. 90% of the ladies that have participated so far have come alone and left the retreat with a group of new friends.
Come play!
Hiya Holly, Nicuragua looks amazing, definately going to have find some cash to come out!
Was looking for a way to contact you, mum and dad were looking through some old photos and they came across a picture of us two at the ripcurl board masters (maybe 2004ish) in Newquay, England.
Dad was racking his brain for ages to remember who it was until he remembered talking to your parents one night.
Well good luck with the new venture
Once I’m done with uni and earning some money (or perhaps a birthday/xmas pressie) I will try and get out.
Byeeee

Posted by Who1020 | February 1, 2011, 4:55 amHi Holly, the camp sounds awesome. Please send some info. I’m a 56 yr old male.
Been with a terrific Lady for 9 months now who I am teaching to surf. She is fearless catching waves and charging, just starting to consistently get to her feet. Is this an all girls deal?
How much, how long ? What does it include? She deffinately wants to go.
Thanks for your time, you rock!
Sincerely,
Tom Creamer

Posted by myworldat22 | March 14, 2011, 8:48 pmHi Holly!
My name is Hilary and I am from Las Vegas, NV. I am very interested in your camp for beginners and would like to attend this summer. I’m looking at weather reports in Managua from last July and August and they show that there were thunderstorms and rain for most of those months. Does this affect the surfing/activity availability? Have you had camps where you haven’t been able to complete all of the activities due to weather issues?
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Posted by Hilary | March 23, 2011, 1:32 amHolly, this is what I been looking for! Count me in. I just need to save up, and once I do, this would be a dream! I’m so stoked ;0)

Posted by LukeMiller | May 15, 2011, 3:18 amHey Hollers,
This is exactly what I need w/ my peeps. Some of us moms, some not. I was wondering how many girlfriends I can bring/ you can accommodate. We would love to stay at the Coco Loco for at least 10 days & do everything!! We’re from Hermosa Beach, Ca & are very active. Whats the best time of year? Thinking next spring? SSSuuuupppper interested. Please let me know.
Thnx,…………..Erin
Posted by Erin | May 17, 2011, 4:13 amHi Holly! I saw you on an episode of House Hunters, and when you kept saying “girls,” i thought you meant girls, as in teens, like me! Maybe one year in the future, you can do a session of your camp for teen girls in the summer. I think it’d be an awesome experience and I know a lot of girls would definitely want an escape from their normal lives at home to come to Nicaragua and learn how to surf and just relax and chill. It’s just an idea. Your retreat looks gorgeous. Thanks!

Thanks,
Mary
