![]() We can split these into three basic categories: Your/Surfer’s needs, Non-surfer’s needs, and kids needs. ![]() There are certain essential ingredients for a successful family trip, and you have to find a destination that combines as many of them as possible. Phil Spaninks, LUEX’s Indonesia & Maldives Expert De-bunked: The Factors to Consider for the Perfect Family Surf Holiday While the resorts in Indonesia don’t really have that, they make up for it with incredible hospitality, warmth and care given by all local staff. Most of our Maldivian resorts are really picture-perfect for a family holiday due to their amazing kids-clubs. Time waits for no man though, and when you hear that patter of little feet for the first time you know life will never be the same again – but that’s no excuse to give up your hard-earned surf trips! The simple truth is that many surf destinations are equally great for family holidays: if you can find a place where everyone can have fun and enjoy themselves – whether that’s building sand castles, sipping cocktails in a hammock while reading the latest Jilly Cooper novel, enjoying a massage in a spa, or even learning to ride the shore break – you’ll be paving the way to more water time in the future for all of you. Living off pot noodles, cheap beer and energy drinks, life was so good that it didn’t matter if you went a week without a shower – at least until the pot noodles and caffeine caught up with your bowels. And our amazing instructors – Ezequiel, Jordy, Fallom – surfing with you guys was just like surfing with mates back home.Despite the oft-used proverb, a family really doesn’t have to be a ball and chain keeping you from the waves! There’s an art to combining a surf trip with a family holiday, and done correctly it can be even better than a road trip with the boys.īack in the day, a surf trip probably meant chucking your board in the back of your mates van and hitting the road in search of waves. Cesar and Kaitlin are amazing hosts, friendly and funny and willing to bend over backwards to help you with anything. I cannot recommend this surf camp enough. It’s got that awesome, friendly small-town vibe. ![]() It was so cool that even though we were only there for a week, we began to recognise people as we walked around the town, people we’d talked to while out at night, or seen in the surf, or whatever. The people are super friendly and we really felt welcome. Dominical is a beautiful little surf town, with only one main street (which isn’t paved), it’s the real Costa Rica. I am so glad that we chose Dominical instead of one of the more touristed spots in Costa Rica, like Tamarindo or somewhere. And our amazing instructors – Ezequiel, Jordy, Falon – surfing with you guys was just like surfing with mates back home. ![]() It was so cool that even though we were only there for a week, we began to recognize people as we walked around the town, people we’d talked to while out at night, or seen in the surf, or whatever. It really felt like we were traveling with friends. When we weren’t surfing, these guys were great in taking us to other places, recommending other things to do and see, or just hanging out and having a few drinks or a meal at night time. They have coaching for all levels, and if you are already a gun surfer, they will just take you where the waves are …and there are some amazing waves! We were beginner/intermediate surfers, and we felt very well looked after in terms of surfing instruction. Well, it’s been nearly 2 weeks since we said goodbye to Costa Rica Surf Camp, and all we can think of is how much we want to be back!
