A typical day in our Moliets deluxe surf & yoga camp

Welcome to Moliets!

Surfing, yoga, beach games, day trips to San Sebastian and Biarritz, traditional Wine & Cheese nights, open-air surf movies, good food, great atmosphere and even better company! Here’s what’s life is like in our

👉Moliets Deluxe Surf & Yoga Camp

1. Rise & Shine

In our Moliets deluxe surf & yoga camp, you wake up in one of our lovely tipi tents and, with Apollo’s goodwill, are greeted with a beautiful French sunrise over the pine trees surrounding our surf camp. These new additions to our yoga and surf camp Moliets have a private decking area each, come with power inlets for all your electronic devices as well as with mesh pocket pouches for you to store your valuables in. With a 3 metre head height and heavy duty netting, the tipis offer great style, bug protection plus a cool breeze.

Our tipis can be set up as twins with two single beds for you and a friend or for couples with one double bed. For added privacy and comfort, each tent has a private porch decking area and plenty of space underneath it to store your surf equipment. Our tipis also come with a high-quality memory foam mattress that is allergy-free, high in density and super comfy. And if you wish to travel light and not carry any sleeping bag or bedding, we offer a weekly bedding rental, too.

2. Start your morning with Yoga

Welcome the day with a morning salutation. We have built a large shaded yoga platform among the pines here in our deluxe surf & yoga camp in Moliets. We run a weekly yoga schedule with two yoga sessions per day (not Saturdays). Our enthusiastic and professional yoga instructors make their sessions fun and accessible to ‘Yogis’ of all levels. 

Our yoga instructors offer a variety of yoga styles in different settings. Besides the yoga sessions on our yoga deck in the surf camp, we also hold regular yoga sessions on the beach during sunset. All early risers are invited to join our yoga instructors for a 75-minute morning session on our wooden yoga platforms. Morning yoga in our deluxe camp is aimed at waking up your body with gentle stretching and breathing exercises, preparing you for an active day ahead surfing and on the beach.

 

 

3. Fuel up for a day of activities

They don’t say ‘breakfast is the most important mean of the day’ for nothing. It sets you up for an active day surfing on the beach of Moliets-Plage and socialising afterwards in and around our surf camp.

For your surf camp breakfasts, we offer hearty buffets with selections of teas, coffee, juices, milks, cereals, honey, jams, traditional French baguette, a variety of cheeses, cold meats and spreads together with fresh fruits and daily baked treat specials, such as croissants and sweet or savoury crêpes. The lovely warm French bread and plenty of veggie, vegan or meat fillings also make for the perfect picnic lunch for your day out surfing.

4. Everybody's gone Surfin'

Because life is simply better at the beach. Period. You’ll be spending most of your surf camp day by the beach. Kick back with that book that’s been gathering dust on your shelf for way too long or simply relax, have a snooze and let the French sun do that hard tanning work for you. And, of course, SURF!

Beach time is always that little bit better when there’s surfing involved. In our Moliets deluxe surf & yoga camps, your surf lesson times for the entire week can be found on our surf camp notice board from when you arrive in the surf camp on Saturdays. So, after breakfast, double check when you’re up, grab your wetsuit and surfboard and head down to the beach.

As with all sports, preparation is key. That’s why each of your surf lesson starts with a warm-up, often a fun game that gets your blood pumping before heading into the surf. Our surf lessons also cover some “surf theory” as we like to call it. Besides some fun insights into surf etiquette and slang, you’ll also learn about the intricacies of rip currents, wave formation and water safety. 

Once suited up, it’s time to head into the water and catch some waves. Our surf instructors are with you in the water, giving you tips on technique and catching waves. The maximum group size of each surf lesson is eight surfers per one instructor. All our surf instructors are experienced, fully licensed and qualified and also have a lifeguard qualification. After your surf lesson, it’s time to go back to that all important relaxing and tanning on the beach. And everyone with more energy, grab a surfboard to get some more practice in or join us for some beach volleyball or other beach games.

5. Soak up the Afternoon Sun

… and make the most of our bohemian surf camp settings. Back at the surf camp, enjoy the late afternoon sun with a cuppa and relax in the hammocks. There’s also plenty of surf camp equipment, such as balance trainers or table tennis, to keep you entertained. Our calm and relaxing afternoon yoga sessions also offer a great way to unwind after a day surfing. Here, our yoga instructors will take you through some surf specific stretches to help reduce aches and soreness.

On four nights of your week in our Moliets deluxe surf & yoga camp, all surf camp guests and team come together to eat and to share surf stories. Expect a relaxed atmosphere of chatter, laughter and summer vibes. Dinners include veggie, vegan and meat options to suit every surf camp traveller.

6. Join us for some great entertainment

We celebrate the French culture with our traditional Wine & Cheese night — definitely one of our surf camp week highlights. And a week of camping simply wouldn’t be complete without an evening of getting the coals burning and the summer vibes flowing for a surf camp BBQ.

Twice a week, we also take you away from the surf camp to two of Europe’s most famous culinary cities; to Biarritz where you have the chance to enjoy some traditional french cuisine and to San Sebastián for Spanish tapas and Basque pintxos. Both day trips are among the social highlights of our surf camp weeks here in Moliets and not to be missed.

 

7. More evening fun

Kick back with a glass of wine over some live music. In our Moliets deluxe surf & yoga camp, we like to keep our evenings relaxed with a glass of wine over a surf movie or a few cocktails in one of Moliets’ local bars. When out and about in Biarritz and San Sebastián for our day trips away from the surf camp, you’ll also have the opportunity to go out out and experience both France’s and Spain’s lively nightlife.

We have a second surf camp just a short walk from our Moliets deluxe surf & yoga camp which offers a weekly entertainment schedule you are welcome to join in at any point. There, we host more lively ping pong and skate competitions, flunky ball tournaments and live music gigs and you can turn night into day if you fancy it. The beauty of our Moliets deluxe surf & yoga camp is that the choice of entertainment is yours.
