Small-group surf retreats for women who want warm water, real waves, and a week off from everything else.
Marnie rays is a small surf retreat company run by women, for women. We started because the surf trips we wanted didn't quite exist — small, warm, well-fed, and full of girls who'd cheer you into your first wave. So we built it.
Read our story →Three retreats, three corners of the world. Choose your wave, pick your week — small groups, real coaching, zero ego.
Unlike other retreats, we've built everything around the guest experience from the ground up. Small groups, carefully chosen brand collaborations, and a women-only environment that creates real sisterhood. Our guests come back because they feel it from the moment they arrive.
“Best week of my life. I came alone and left with ten new friends and a suntan that lasted until November.”
“I was terrified of surfing. Marnie had me standing up on day two. The coaching is world-class and the food was unbelievable.”
“This isn't just a surf trip. It's the reset button I didn't know I needed. Already booked again for next year.”
“The villa, the waves, the women — everything about this week was magic. I cried at the airport.”
“Came for the surf, stayed for the people. Marnie creates something really special here. Can't recommend enough.”
“I've done retreats before but nothing comes close. Small group, no pretence, just genuinely good vibes and incredible waves.”
Marnie Rays is a retreat with a difference. We offer so much more than your standard wellness retreat thanks to our incredible guest chefs, gifts from our brand partners, tailored yoga & meditation classes and extras such as local fun nights out together, a focus on joyful community, all set within a super premium location.
Please note that deposits are non-refundable. The balance will then need to be paid six weeks before the retreat starts. You will have the option to pay in monthly instalments.
We know that sometimes life gets in the way of adventures, and we’ll always do our best to be understanding. That said, once you book your retreat, we begin planning and committing to accommodation, partners, and our team well in advance to make your experience happen. For all new bookings made on or after 27th April 2026, if you can no longer join the trip, we can transfer your payment to a future retreat within one year of your original booking date, provided you notify us at least 30 days prior to departure. Deposits are non-refundable and can only be transferred once. Bookings made before 27th April 2026 remain under the original 60-day policy agreed at the time of booking. As we commit to costs in advance, cancellations or changes made within 30 days of departure are non-transferable and non-refundable. In these cases, the full balance remains payable. If your balance is not paid by the agreed due date, we reserve the right to cancel your booking and retain any payments made. If you are unable to attend your retreat for any reason, including illness, personal circumstances, or travel disruption, our standard cancellation terms will apply. We are not responsible for travel disruption outside of our control, including (but not limited to) flight cancellations, delays, or global events. We strongly recommend that all guests take out comprehensive travel insurance at the time of booking, covering cancellation, travel disruption, and unforeseen circumstances. For full details, please refer to our Terms & Conditions.
We are here every step of the way after you book! We’ll email several times with all the information you need, and details of your payment plan. You also have access to all your payment profile information on our booking partners: www.myeasol.com
We couldn't recommend solo travel more. It can feel scary but we promise you it'll be one of the best things you ever do! Plus, our job is to make sure you have the best time and make new connections (if you'd like to!). We've got beautiful group dinners, and lots of other things we'll do as a little Marnie Rays community. You're in the best hands.
