Book Your Retreat

El Sol Club retreats are soulful experiences designed to help you slow down, reconnect, and return to yourself ~ through movement, community, and time beside the sea. Set against the rhythm of the ocean, each retreat blends surf, yoga, and intentional practices into a spacious, supportive container where you can truly show up as you are.

❋ Intentional Structure

We thoughtfully balance guided experiences with plenty of space to slow down, explore, rest, and simply be. Each day flows with intention while still leaving room for ease, spontaneity, and your own natural rhythm ~ creating an experience that feels supportive, grounding, and free from pressure.

❋ Collaborative Energy

Rooted in community and intentional living, our retreats honor the people and places that make Puerto Rico so special. Together with our plant-based chef and local farms and small businesses, we thoughtfully create nourishing meals using fresh, seasonal ingredients ~ allowing each meal to feel connected to the island, the experience, and the community surrounding us.

❋ Expert Facilitation

El Sol Club Retreats are intimate and empowering women’s surf and wellness experiences thoughtfully hosted by Arles and Gel, who have been returning to Puerto Rico for over 10 years and feel deeply connected to the island, its rhythm, and its community. Through surfing, movement, nourishing meals, and shared experiences, we create space for women to build confidence, foster meaningful connections, and feel supported both in and out of the water.

❋ A Supportive Space

Arles and Gel intentionally create retreats that feel warm, welcoming, and deeply supportive from the moment you arrive. Our hope is that you feel safe to slow down, be fully yourself, and settle into an experience that allows for genuine connection, confidence, and ease.

  • I really stepped out of my comfort zone and busy schedule by committing to going independently on the reconnect retreat.  I couldn't have imagined how special my time would be spent up in Montauk.   Jen's intuitive art offerings allowed me to tap back into my creative self with ease.  As someone who hasn't ever really tried yoga, Arles made it an experience that will stay with me forever.  I never realized how important it is, especially now as a new mom, to take the time to rehydrate and reconnect with yourself.  I am so thankful for my time spent on the reconnect retreat and the connections I made with others and myself.

  • What an amazing retreat in Playa Guiones, Costa Rica! This was my first retreat and I didn’t know what to expect. Everything the hosts planned was on point: from the morning and evening yoga, late morning surfing and art afternoons. I had my first surf lesson ever and Arles was with me every step of the way- I was able to stand on the board in the first session! And so thankful for Jen. The art in the afternoons reignited my love of making art that I’ve put on the back burner for years. I learned a lot on this trip and thankful for the new friends I made. Would love to go on another retreat with this group in the future

  • Going on the el sol club retreat was big for me— i just started surfing and barely knew anyone else on the trip— but I am so thankful I did! I not only left the trip probably doubling my lifetime wave count, but feeling like I took a giant exhale. I didn’t realize how much I needed a few days unplugged from work, studying, and the stressors of everyday life, especially after the cold and gray winter we just had.
