SwellWomen France Surf, Yoga & Culinary Delight June '23

Taking Flight to Europe!

You will be hosted in a traditional Basque château, overlooking the Pyrenees in a small village on the French Basque Coast, surrounded by fields, farms, and a plethora of fun surf beaches only 10 minutes away.

Our dreamy French country house dates back to 1870, finished with traditional tiles and stone interiors. There are 7 bedrooms, shared bathrooms, a kitchen, large lounge, and dining area all spread out between 2 floors. There’s a heated indoor pool on the ground floor, a tennis court, and an outdoor area for lounging in the sun.

Beyond the fun surf & blissful yoga, your retreat experience features food at its heart with our private chef creating delectable farm-to-table meals. You can spend your free evenings tasting new wines and eating ‘pintxos’ (aka tapas) or dine at one of the Michelin Star restaurants in the area. In your downtime, take a dip in the pool or rent an electric bike to take in some sun at the beach or cycle through the charming coastal villages.
