Moliets Surf & Yoga Camp

Welcome to Star Surf Camps Moliets

Here in Moliets, we invite you to learn how to surf, practice unlimited, all-level Yoga and meet surf holiday guests from all over the world. With great conditions in the water for first-time surfers as well as for intermediate surfers looking to improve their existing surf skills, our qualified team of international surf instructors will get you surfing and leaving the water smiling.

After a sunny day on the beach and in the water, relax in our hammocks or join in one of our yoga sessions before our surf camp chefs prepare a healthy and fresh dinner for you. Enjoy a surf movie in our outdoor cinema, explore the surf camp’s surrounding area, feast on ‘vin et fromage’ during our traditional wine & cheese nights and join us for a night out in Moliets or on a trip to San Sebastián and Biarritz.

Our Moliets Yoga & Surf Camp offers you a social atmosphere with a friendly and international surf camp team, good food and a fun entertainment schedule in- and around the surf camp. It’s the ideal formula for you to come away energised and revitalised after your surf holidays with us.

In our Moliets Surf & Yoga Camp, we run two entertainment schedules which we adjust to the weather and our guests’ preferences. If you’re up for a relaxed evening after an active and sunny day on the beach, join us for sunset or sunrise Yoga sessions on the beach and in the forest, our traditional French wine & cheese nights, a starlit outdoor surf camp movie night or sunset sessions on the beach with music, drinks and volleyball.

If you’re feeling more energetic, our Moliets surf camp offers many fantastic opportunities to mix and mingle with other surf holiday guests. We organise live music events and open mic nights, fancy dress flunky ball tournaments, spent nights out on the town in Moliets’ local bars, host our famous tarp surfing BBQs and more.

Moliets Surf Lessons

Learn to Surf in perfect Conditions for Beginners

Star Surf Camps’ success and reputation are built upon the quality of our surf lessons and our fun, professional and enthusiastic approach to teaching surfing. Our international surf team of professional instructors doesn’t simply watch you from the beach, but gets in the water with you to help you catch the best waves.

Our head surf coach is based in Moliets and the surf lessons here are some of the very best in the industry. Per week, you receive 12 hours of surf coaching including theory sessions in the surf camp and lots of time surfing the amazing waves of Moliets-Plage, the beach just outside the surf camp.

The maximum group size of each surf lesson is eight surfers per instructor. All our surf instructors are experienced, fully licensed, qualified and also have a lifeguard qualification. The surf equipment (surfboards, leashes and wetsuits) is free to use during your surf lesson and free upon availability outside of them for you to practice in your own time.

Surf Lesson Upgrade

Make the most of your Surfing Holidays in France

If you’re looking to spend more time surfing when on surf holidays with us in Moliets, you can add our Surf Lesson Upgrade during the booking process. Our Surf Lesson Upgrade includes 2x 2 hours of additional surf lessons in the water with our surf team. If the conditions are right, we schedule at least one of these sessions at sunrise or sunset. Suited to both beginner and intermediate surfers, our Surf Lesson Upgrade allows for more time in the water with your surf instructor to further improve your surfing skills.

Surf Equipment Hire

Go Surfing whenever you like on your Surfing Holidays

New in 2020 is the option to rent your own surfboard, wetsuit and leash while on surfing holidays with us in our Moliets surf camp. With Moliets-Plage only a short walk from our surf camp, you can go surfing in your own time whenever you please and make the most of your surfing holidays in Southwest France. We have a good range of beginner surfboards in the surf camp. For safety reasons, all rental surfboards are soft ‘foamie’ surfboards, not hard surfboards. If you’re an intermediate to advanced surfer, we recommend you bring your own equipment.

Yoga Sessions

Strengthen Your Body & Revitalise Your Mind on Your Surf Holidays

Yoga has swept surfers all over the world off their feet with all professional surfers using it to improve their flexibility, core strength and surfing performance. So, if after an active day surfing and on the beach you feel like you could do with some stretching, relaxing and “me”-time, yoga is a fantastic way to improve your flexibility and to strengthen your body.

Join our yoga sessions here and see the positive effects of yoga for yourself, your body and your surfing. Choose from 3, 5 or 10 yoga sessions per surf camp week. We provide exercise equipment during the sessions free of charge.

Our enthusiastic and professional Yoga instructors in our Moliets Yoga & Surf Camp make their sessions fun and accessible to ‘Yogis’ of all levels. So, even if you cannot yet touch your toes when bending over, our instructors know just how to help you improve your surfing through yoga. Our registered 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.

Bell Tent Accommodation

A perfect surf camp day in our Moliets Surf & Yoga Camp means surfing great waves, meeting like-minded travellers, doing some sunset Yoga on the beach and kicking back in our spacious bell tents.

All bell tents have a centre pole, an interior mesh zip curtain behind the door curtains and come with mash windows at the base for better ventilation. The tents are tall enough to stand a surfboard in and wide enough for some morning yoga stretches.

With raised wooden beds and a memory foam mattresses, these spacious tents make a great surf camp home away from home. All you need to bring is your pillow, bedding and/ or a sleeping bag. The tents in our surf & yoga camp are also equipped with power outlets and come with two single or one double bed.

Food in the Surf Camp

Delicious & Healthy Food Freshly Prepared for You by Our Surf Camp Chefs

In our Moliets Yoga & Surf Camp we provide you with a breakfast buffet that includes a selection of hot and cold drinks, cereals, jams, fresh baguette, a variation of cheeses, hams and other spreads as well as fresh fruit. Throughout your surf camp week, we also prepare various Morning and Lunch Specials for you, such as sweet or savoury crêpes, smoothies, variations of eggs, salads and other treats. And whatever you don’t get to try in the mornings, you can pack as a lunch for your day out surfing.

On four nights of your surf holiday week, our on-site chef prepares a fresh dinner with deserts for you. Vegetarian and vegan options are available upon request. If you have any allergies or other dietary requirements, please let one of our surf travel experts know in advance so we can cater to your needs on your surf holiday with us.

Twice a week, we 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 pintxos. Both day trips are among the social highlights of your surf camp week in Moliets and not to be missed.

Please note that we do not serve breakfasts on Saturdays due to early departures and late arrivals on change-over days. Thank you.

Please bring a Tupperware box and cutlery and help us reduce plastic and wrapping waste.

Location & Facilities

Close to the beach & town centre

Our Moliets Surf & Yoga Camp is located in the picturesque town of Moliets-Plage on the southwest coast of France. Just north of Hossegor, Europe’s surfing capital, Moliets is close to the Basque Country and northern Spain.

Moliets is internationally known for its incredible waves and great summer vibes – the perfect formula for a fantastic and unforgettable surfing holiday. With sandy beaches, great waves, hammock chilling in the sunshine and trips to Biarritz and San Sebastián, expect your surfing holidays with Star Surf Camps to be exciting.

Nested into a quieter and more secluded spot on the campsite, our Moliets Yoga & Surf camp is made up of our bell tents with raised, wooden beds and electricity, a big Yoga platform and sunbathing deck.

Our surf camp also includes a large shaded seating area for eating and entertaining, a tiki bar, an outdoor cinema, surf equipment and storage tents and lots of fairy lights. We’ve got balance trainers, table tennis and provide you with yoga and exercise equipment.

Our surf camp here in Moliets is part of a larger campsite which also hosts other surf camps and holidaymakers. The campsite is ***-rated, has a reception, parking, playgrounds, sports courts and multiple shower and toilet blocks. On this campsite, you also find a football/ basketball, tennis and a volleyball court all to use free of charge. And, saving the best for last, the beach and town centre of Moliets-Plage are just a short walk or skate ride away. Bliss!

Day Trip Activities

Shake off the sand and salt! We’ve got trips planned for you…
 

We all love nothing more than the laid-back surfing lifestyle. The feeling of the sun kissing your wet skin after you’ve nailed your last wave of your surf session is simply priceless. But once or twice a week, we do fancy washing off the sand and salt to put on our glad rags and hit the road

Tapas, Sangria & Partying in Spain

San Sebastián Day & Night Out

Just 20 kilometres south of the French border, along the crystal clear coast of the beautiful Bay of Biscay, lies the vibrant city of San Sebastián. The gorgeous harbour, lively city centre and grand Spanish plazas give the city a glamorous and sophisticated atmosphere by day, while uncountable busy tapas bars and numerous energetic night clubs make for its flirtatious and crazy vibe at night. Join Star Surf Camps on our fantastic day trip away from the surf to this city we’re sure you’ll be falling in love with!

Leaving our Moliets Surf Camp after your surf lessons, we start our San Sebastián day trip in the afternoon with cool sangrias, delicious tapas and a tour around the old part of town and its bars. Once in San Sebastián, you have enough free time to explore the city on your own, go shopping, stroll through the quaint, little streets or see the stunning cathedral before we make our way up gorgeous Monte Urgull.

Overlooking San Sebastián’s breathtaking bay, the top of this hill makes for the ultimate starting point to a perfect night out! With a drink in your hand and a big smile on your face, watch an incredible sunset and get ready to hit the bars, nightclubs and to party all night long! In other words, it’s as easy as this: SanSebastián’s Spanish flair and great summer vibes together with our awesome Star Surf Camps atmosphere make our trip here an absolute must-do and certainly an adventure not to miss out on!

‘Culture meets Coastline’ in France

Biarritz Day Trip

Biarritz, without a doubt, is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. That’s why locals often call the city “the Queen of the Basque country”. What sets Biarritz apart from the hundreds of other beautiful European coastal hot spots is that its beauty and charm are far from skin deep, as the city is steeped in rich culture and historical relevance with particular reference to the surfing world. It was actually on these very beaches that the first waves in Europe were surfed when a Californian filmmaker called for his surfboard to be shipped out all the way to France after seeing the beauty and the waves on offer. Since then this city has been on an even keel of surf and sophistication. Where else do you find a bond like casino on the beach serving up trendy cocktails as its patrons watch over the surfers and waves almost lapping up to the baccarat table?

The best thing about our Biarritz Day Trip is that there is so much to see and do, so much of this chic town to sample that will cost you next to nothing. We start our tour at the infamous lighthouse with panoramic views across the city and neighbouring beaches. Our walking tour will take you along the pristine coastline, across pedestrian bridges to tiny islands, among art installations and statues, through stained glass churches past our favourite ice cream parlours and will certainly end at a lively watering hole usually accompanied with live music. Et voila!
