The Surf Resorts experience
Some surf resorts get it so right, which have everything perfectly dialed to make your surf vacation everything you hoped it to be. When a surf resort gets it right, it’s usually because the resort is owned or managed by surfers. These are typically competent, hardcore surfers who know precisely what you need on a surf holiday.
For a surf resort to be a winner, it needs to have:
- A perfect wave in immediate or close proximity
- Several other waves are within reasonable striking distance.
- A possible ‘secret spot’ that is generally only going to be frequented by the surf resort guests.
- Convenient access to all these waves, whether it is by car or by boat.
- A resident surf guide that knows how to surf well and understands the local conditions, and is keen to share his or her knowledge openly and not hold any cards to his or her chest.
- Onsite restaurant as well as access to local shopping, restaurants, or other local amenities.
- Medical backup at the resort, whether it be a doctor, a nurse, or a paramedic.
- Alternatives for the other family members, including activities like yoga with yoga instructors and hikes with knowledgeable guides.
- A resort filmer that will either shoot photos or videos that will be available for guests after their trip.
- A genuine surf vibe includes surf movies, visits from pros, available surf media, and a good reputation that stretches far and wide.
