Heading into the summer, many people start to wonder where they want to go on vacation. Although the more well-known destinations have their benefits, it’s always great to find a hidden gem vacation spot that feels truly unique.
The Kalon Surf resort in Costa Rica is an amazing destination that is perfect for vacationers hoping to become one with nature this summer.
Immersion in the beauty of Costa Rica
One of the unique benefits of a stay at Kalon Surf is the ability to connect with the local Costa Rican culture and landscape. Located just a pleasant two-and-a-half hour coastal drive from San Jose, the resort is located at a lovely point where the jungle and rainforest meet the ocean. Visitors will stay 15 minutes from some of the best surfing spots in the world, but don’t have to worry about crowded beaches.
Of course, a big part of what makes a stay at any resort special is the room itself, and Kalon Surf offers some of the best options around. Visitors are able to choose from six different types of rooms for their all-inclusive resort experience in paradise at Kalon Surf.
The resort’s rooms boast 180-degree panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, along with king-size beds with 400-thread count luxury linens, and en suite bathrooms. In other words, during their stay at the resort, Kalon Surf visitors will be living in total luxury, creating the perfect environment for rest and relaxation.
Another way in which a stay at Kalon Surf helps visitors immerse themselves in their surroundings and culture is through a gourmet, organic menu. With a focus on fresh ingredients grown in a fruit and vegetable garden hosted on-site, Kalon Surf’s menu is heavily inspired by the local Costa Rican cuisine. The menu is also specially designed by chefs to provide visitors with the optimal energy and nutrition required to keep them feeling great throughout their day of surfing.
World-class surf coaching balanced with relaxation
Of course, the main draw of Kalon Surf is its surf coaching, which caters to surfers of all experience levels. The surf coaches at Kalon Surf are passionate, experienced, and patient, helping visitors build confidence and awareness around surfing. They focus on teaching the foundations of surfing with dry training, video coaching, pool training, and — most importantly — in-the-ocean coaching.
“Our instructors’ goal is to help you get the most out of your stay,” says Kjeld Schigt, Owner and Director of Kalon Surf. “If you have never surfed before, need to break ‘bad habits,’ or simply want to take your skill to the next level, our coaching can help get you there.”
Beyond their world-class surf coaching, Kalon Surf offers visitors one of the most relaxing trips you will ever take in your lifetime. To help guests ease into a “pura vida” state of mind, the resort offers plenty of top-notch indulgent services that can create an individualized moment of pure relaxation and calm. For example, they offer a spa with a wide range of services, such as deep tissue massages, hot stone massages, bamboo massages, facials, and more.
Kalon Surf also offers yoga and pilates sessions several times a week that allow visitors to find their zen while surrounded by the lush jungle and open air of the Costa Rican landscape. These sessions are an amazing way for guests to start their days before hitting the waves, priming their bodies and minds for the surfing experience of a lifetime.
Still, what better way is there to relax in a coastal setting than by taking in the natural beauty of the beach and ocean? Kalon Surf’s team and staff pride themselves on helping people unplug and connect with nature. The off-the-beaten-path location prevents the beaches from being too hectic, but affords the opportunity to connect with other individuals focused on relaxation and developing their surfing skills. Plus, it’s hard to beat the area’s picturesque sunsets and scenery.
For those looking to maximize their stay at Kalon Surf with a little more activity, there are optional add-on excursions that visitors can take to even further immerse themselves in the local culture and ecosystem. “From tours of nearby waterfalls and jungles to more extreme activities for thrill-seekers like ziplining and rappelling, Kalon Surf is in a wonderful location that offers pretty much everything under the sun,” asserts Schigt. “Even if you only want to worry about surfing and relaxing, Kalon Surf has you covered.”
Kalon Surf is quickly becoming the world’s premier surfing resort thanks to its amazing surf instructors, gorgeous beaches, and ability to provide visitors with an unforgettable and relaxing experience. In today’s world, many people are looking for a way to unplug from the rest of the world on their vacations, and there is no better tropical escape than Kalon Surf in Costa Rica.
