women’s surf & yoga retreats

Cape Town

New Dates Released for February 2026!

Welcome to NOW NOW Surf & Yoga Retreat

a women-only retreat in Cape Town designed to bring together surf, movement, and community. Set in a peaceful Kommetjie surf villa, our week-long experience combines daily surf lessons, guided yoga classes, and wholesome living by the ocean.

Whether you’re an experienced surfer or just starting your yoga journey, this South Africa surf and wellness retreat invites you to reconnect with yourself and other adventurous women.

A yellow star-shaped explosion or burst with irregular points on a black background.

Because movement feels better together.
Because solo travel to South Africa shouldn’t feel lonely.
Because we weren’t made to sit still.
Because the ocean doesn’t wait — and neither should you.
Because it doesn’t need to be perfect.
It just needs to be now.

Let’s surf, stretch, move & laugh together.
Let’s find her. NOW NOW.

Why Now Now?

Why Cape Town?

Because it’s raw and beautiful in equal parts.
Because the waves are clean, the sunsets are gold, and the mountains meet the sea.
Because it’s wild, soulful, and a little unpredictable — just like us.

At our surf retreat, you can hike in the morning, surf at lunch, and dance under the stars by night.

This is Cape Town — a surf and yoga destination unlike anywhere else.

Where?

Just 45 minutes from Cape Town International Airport, Kommetjie is a laid-back surf town between the mountains and the sea. With more than six surf breaks nearby, it’s where barefoot mornings roll into golden sunsets.

Quiet enough to breathe, close enough to dip into Cape Town’s food scene, markets, and nightlife.

This is the best of both worlds: nature, movement, and stillness, with a side of Cape Town adventure.

We’ll Be There Too

Best friends for over a decade, Cami & Gaby have surfed, stretched, and explored their way through five countries together. We started NOW NOW Collective to share that feeling — the one you get when you’re moving, laughing, and fully alive.

Our women’s surf retreat in Cape Town is about community, curiosity, and low-pressure good times. We’ll be there for the deep chats, the belly laughs, and the wipeouts.

Every day at our Cape Town surf and yoga retreat is a little different — shaped by the waves, your energy, and the group vibe:

7:00 AM – Breakfast
Start your morning with fresh fruit, smoothies, homemade granola, and toast while chatting with the group about the day ahead.

8:00 AM – Surf Session
Head to the beach for a personalised coaching session. We’ll work on your paddling, pop-up, and riding techniques — tailored to your level — at one of Kommetjie’s beautiful surf spots.

12:00 PM – Back to the House
Rinse off, relax, and maybe flick through your surf photos from the session.

A Day In The Life

1:00 PM – Lunch
A wholesome, hearty meal to refuel for the afternoon.

2:00 – 5:00 PM – Rest or Optional Adventure
Take a nap, lounge at the beach, or join an optional outing — think horseback riding along Noordhoek Beach, visiting the penguins at Boulders, or exploring the shops in Kalk Bay.

5:00 PM – Yoga & Breathwork
Unwind with a 90-minute yoga session designed to match the energy of the day — from energising vinyasa flows to slow, grounding yin. Every session includes meditation and breathwork to help you reconnect.

7:00 PM – Dinner
End the day with a delicious dinner, either at the house or at a favourite local restaurant, sharing stories and laughs from the day’s adventures.

Before You Ask, FAQs

  • Not at all. Most of the women who join us are beginners or just starting out. Everything is optional, and everything is guided. No pressure — just movement, flow, and fun.

  • Yes — and honestly, most of our guests do. We’ve created this retreat with solo travelers in mind. It’s safe, welcoming, and built for instant connection. For all backgrounds, all body types, all stories welcome.

  • We get this question a lot — and it’s valid. Like any big city, Cape Town has areas to be mindful of, but the retreat takes place in small, laid-back coastal towns just outside the city like Kommetjie and Scarborough. These areas are known for their surf communities, slow pace, and friendly locals.

    We take care of your airport transfers and all local transport during the week, so you won’t need to navigate anything solo unless you choose to. The group is always together, and there’s a strong sense of community from day one. The house is equipped with an alarm system and will be locked whilst we are in and out of the house.

    We’ve lived here, we host here — and we wouldn’t run retreats in places we didn’t feel good in ourselves.

  • A 30% deposit is required to confirm your booking. The remaining balance must be paid by 18 January 2026. We’ll send you a reminder closer to the date to make the final payment.

  • We’ll send a full list before the retreat — but think: swimsuit, activewear, something warm for the evenings, and clothes you feel good moving in. We provide all surf and yoga gear.

  • We keep it small — max 12 women. Enough to make friends, not too many to feel lost.

    • Flights to and from Cape Town

    • Travel insurance (highly recommended)

    • Extra snacks, drinks, or meals outside the retreat program

    • Optional activities not listed on the schedule

    • Personal expenses (souvenirs, taxis, etc.)

    • Equipment damage or loss fees (surfboards & wetsuits)
