Sup Fit Yoga (Gran Canaria, Spain)

ABOUT THE SURF CAMP

This is not a typical surf camp — it's a SUP retreat located in the peaceful south of Gran Canaria, where the sun shines almost every day of the year.

The retreat base is in Arguineguín, a small fishing village far from the crowded surf spots in the north. Here, you’ll enjoy calm, clear waters ideal for paddleboarding and SUP Yoga — no strong waves, just the perfect setting for beginners or those looking to deepen their technique in a safe and beautiful environment.

We work in several hand-picked spots, depending on the conditions and the activity: calm beaches for SUP lessons, scenic routes for SUP tours with snorkelling, and open spaces for grounding and breathwork by the sea.

The beach is just a 15-minute walk from the accommodation, or a short €2.50 taxi ride. You’ll also be close to local restaurants, markets and hiking trails through unique volcanic and forest landscapes — including a special hike through the lush laurel forest of the island’s interior.

This retreat is for those who love to move, explore and reconnect with nature, without giving up comfort or quality.

This is a small and conscious SUP retreat designed for active adults who want to combine movement, nature and rest — all in a warm, personal atmosphere.

The average participant is between 30 and 60 years old, often travelling solo or with a friend, and looking for more than just a typical surf or yoga camp.

We welcome people who enjoy trying new things, staying active even on holiday, and who value balance: between activity and rest, fun and peace, connection and freedom.

Group size is always limited to 6 people max, allowing for personalised attention, space to breathe, and real connection — with yourself, others, and the beautiful natural surroundings.

The main language is English, and the vibe is relaxed, respectful and friendly. If you’re looking for comfort, sunshine and soulful experiences — you’ll feel right at home here.

The retreat is created and led by Mireie, certified yoga teacher, SUP instructor and conscious travel guide with years of experience in tourism and wellness.

SUP FIT YOGA was born from her personal journey — after a challenging time in her life, she found healing, balance and renewed energy through the ocean, movement and nature. That’s when she knew she wanted to help others experience the same reconnection.

Today, Mireie combines her passions — yoga, SUP, nature, adventure and authentic local culture — to create soulful experiences that go beyond the usual. Her mission is to guide small groups with love, presence and care, helping them reconnect with themselves while discovering the real Gran Canaria, far from mass tourism.

She personally guides all retreats and experiences, sometimes collaborating with trusted local partners for specific activities, always keeping the human and emotional quality of the journey at the center.

ACCOMMODATION AND CATERING

Guests stay in spacious, modern apartments with two separate bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, living-dining area, and private balcony or terrace.

Each apartment is shared by two guests, either in private or shared rooms (same gender), depending on the option booked. All apartments include a private bathroom, bed linen, towels, hair dryer, and free WiFi.

The apartments are located in a quiet and sunny area, just 15 minutes walking (or €2.50 taxi ride) from the beach and the town centre of Arguineguín. The complex features several swimming pools, including an adults-only pool, pool bar, mini market, and plenty of spaces to relax in the sun.

Some sea view, full comfort and privacy 
Non-smoking accommodation
No need for adapters (European plug sockets)
Personal items can be safely stored in your room
Free street parking nearby

These apartments offer the perfect mix of independence and comfort, ideal for travellers who want to feel at home while enjoying a guided retreat experience.

This is a self-catering retreat, offering you full flexibility and comfort. Each apartment features a fully equipped kitchen with everything you need to prepare your own meals — fridge, stove, oven, kettle, and all basic utensils.

There’s a mini market inside the complex and a supermarket just a few minutes’ walk away, open daily from 8:00 to 20:00. You’ll also find a wide range of restaurants and cafés nearby, offering options for all tastes and budgets — from local Canarian dishes to international menus.

As part of the retreat experience, you’ll enjoy a traditional Canarian meal during our cultural day, where you'll taste local flavours and learn more about the island’s culinary roots.

We always ask about allergies or intolerances in advance to ensure everyone feels safe and cared for during shared meals.

This setup gives you the freedom to eat how and when you prefer — with the joy of discovering authentic local food when the moment calls for it.

SURF COURSE AND ACTIVITIES

The SUP experience is at the heart of this retreat, designed not just to teach you how to paddle — but to help you find balance, confidence and connection through water.

We work in very small groups, with a maximum of 6 participants per retreat, and a low instructor-to-participant ratio, ensuring you receive personalised guidance and feel safe and supported at all times.

The SUP programme includes:

A sunset SUP Yoga session to start the retreat in flow

SUP technique sessions on calm waters, tailored to your level (beginner to intermediate)

A guided SUP tour with snorkelling, to explore the coastline from a unique perspective

You’ll also receive tips on paddling posture, balance, breathing and awareness — creating a holistic connection between body, mind and sea. Breaks are included and we adapt the timing to the group’s energy and weather conditions.

Sessions are taught in English, and no previous experience is required. Just an open mind and the desire to move, learn and reconnect.

We provide high-quality inflatable SUP boards specifically designed for SUP Yoga and SUP Fitness, offering enhanced stability and safety on the water — especially ideal for beginners and mindful movement practices.

All necessary equipment is included during the sessions:
Board
Paddle
Leash
Life jacket (optional)
Snorkel gear (for the SUP tour)

You don’t need to bring anything — just your swimwear, towel and a big smile!

This retreat is much more than just SUP. It’s a complete journey designed to reconnect body and mind through movement, nature and local culture.

Included activities in the full retreat experience:
Sunset SUP Yoga session
SUP FIT YOGA: functional movement & balance training on the board
SUP technique sessions & guided tour with snorkelling
Beach Yoga sessions that combine breathwork, grounding and guided meditation
Guided hike through the island’s lush green laurel forest
Cultural experience with local food tasting

Optional extras can be arranged upon request, such as:
Relaxing massages
Local adventure activities (e.g. e-bike tours, kayak...)
Custom day trips to explore the island

I'm happy to help you organise these based on your preferences and availability.

Please note: this full retreat experience can be booked with or without accommodation. If you prefer to stay elsewhere nearby, you're welcome to join the complete programme and still enjoy all the activities and group experiences.

Everything is designed to flow — your rhythm, your energy, your retreat.

MORE INFO, HOW TO GET THERE & FAQ

This retreat is not based around surf breaks, but rather calm and protected water spots, ideal for Stand Up Paddleboarding, SUP Yoga and mindful floating experiences.

You’ll paddle in quiet bays with sandy bottoms, safe entry points and no reef or strong currents. It’s perfect for beginners and those looking to build confidence on the board.

Distances vary depending on the chosen location, but all practice spots are within 0 - 5 minutes by car from the accommodation.

One of the big advantages of this retreat is the stable weather year-round in the south of Gran Canaria:

Water temperature: 19–23°C

Air temperature: 22–28°C (even in winter)

Waves: generally calm; ideal flat water conditions for SUP

Wind: light in the morning, occasionally breezy in the afternoons (we adapt sessions accordingly)

No wetsuit is needed — just your swimsuit, sunscreen and good vibes.

The retreat takes place in uncrowded and peaceful locations, far from the busy surf spots in the north.

Locals in the area are friendly and welcoming, and there's no competition for waves — in fact, there are no surf breaks here. Just calm, beautiful water and a relaxed coastal vibe.

This is the place to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the ocean at your own pace.

The retreat takes place in the sunny south of Gran Canaria, near the coastal town of Arguineguín, a charming fishing village that blends local tradition with all modern comforts.

Located about 40 minutes from Las Palmas airport, the area enjoys year-round sunshine, relaxed energy and beautiful natural surroundings — from golden beaches to lush green mountains.

Local culture is warm and welcoming. You’ll experience authentic Canarian life, taste traditional dishes, and discover a more conscious, slow-paced way of living.

Spanish is the official language, but English is widely understood in the south.
Currency: Euro (€)
Cost of living: generally affordable, with plenty of local cafés and restaurants for all budgets.
Medical care: excellent; no special vaccinations required. Travel insurance is recommended, as always.
