What is Otra Ola?
What is Otra Ola?
Otra Ola Retreats curates intentional journeys rooted in nature, movement, and connection. We blend yoga, surfing, ceremony, sound, and adventure in soulful destinations — designed to help you slow down, come home to your body, and reconnect with what matters.
Otra Ola means another wave, a reminder that life moves in cycles, nothing is fixed, and we are always allowed to begin again.
Whether you’re here for the waves, the yoga, the jungle, or the medicine of community, this is a space where you’re supported exactly as you are.
The Heart Behind Otra Ola
The Heart Behind Otra Ola
Otra Ola was created from a desire to live with more intention and presence. What began as a personal journey toward healing and awareness has grown into a space where movement, nature, and community come together.
Our retreats are an invitation to step out of routine, create space for yourself, and experience life a little more fully — together.

"An unforgettable, soul-nourishing experience. This retreat was nothing short of amazing. It was grounding, enlightening, and truly beautiful amongst the nature of Costa Rica. Every detail, from the delicious food and serene accommodations to the thoughtfully planned activities, was intentional and nourishing. My heart, body, and mind felt completely cared for. Samantha is absolutely made for this—being in her light is something truly special. I left feeling so full of gratitude… my only wish is that it could have lasted longer. I never wanted to leave!"

"I was fortunate enough to join the Otra Ola Retreat in Costa Rica! The week was an absolutely magical experience. The surf and yoga sessions made for active yet restorative days, fueled by delicious healthy meals in between. I’m so thankful to the team for curating such an incredible itinerary for us, and left feeling closer to love through connection to myself and my fellow retreaters. I highly recommend attending an Otra Ola retreat if you are interested, and I can’t wait for my next one!"

"Best week ever in Brazil with Otra Ola! The team was super intentional with every detail, but remained flexible during the week of the retreat and really read the group to make sure everyone was getting the most out of the experience they could. Our community we created in the week was truly special and healing. It wouldn’t have happened without the awesome Otra Ola team! Couldn’t recommend this experience more, you won’t regret it! "
— Bradley
"Only come if you want to have an absolutely incredible time. Surf and yoga aside (which were amazing) I had such a beautiful time building a community with the other participants. The leaders did such a wonderful job creating a very safe and energetically warm environment. Absolutely tragic to go home afterwards. Could not recommend more!"
— Sam
"Manu, Sam, Phil, the love, care and attention to put to every detail is something that didn’t go unnoticed, every little detail from the flowers, the notes, the food, the activities, everything showed just how much you cared and how genuine and mindful you where when putting everything together. This was an incredible experience that I’ll forever hold near and dear to my heart and I hope I can see you all again somewhere in the world! Much love 🤍"
