AHINI WEEK: This summer we are inviting a small group of women to Château Basque for a very special surf & mindfulness retreat curated together with Gabriella and Marie, blending surfing, movement, mindfulness and slow summer living.

Gabriella, currently based in Costa Rica, will guide the surf sessions throughout the week, while Marie, founder of Raw Vision Studio in Copenhagen, will host daily yoga, movement and mindfulness practices designed to energise, ground and reconnect.

Set between the Atlantic Ocean and the green Basque mountains, the week unfolds through playful surf sessions, long dinners in the château gardens, road trips along the coast and warm summer evenings shared with beautiful humans from around the world.

Whether you are completely new to surfing or already spend a lot of time in the water, this week is about enjoying the process, building confidence in the ocean and simply having fun together.

More than anything, WAHINI WEEK is about creating space to slow down, move, surf, laugh, recharge and share an unforgettable week together at Château Basque.

Surf. Sisterhood. Slow living.

July 10th–17th, 2026.

Limited spots available.
