About Scorpion Bay
Escape the noise and reconnect with what truly nourishes you. The Salt + Swell Retreat in Scorpion Bay invites you to step away from the rush of daily life and return to what matters—slow living, soulful food, and deep, meaningful connection. Nestled at one of Mexico’s most legendary surf breaks, this retreat is a space to unplug, reset, and align your rhythms with the ocean and the land.
About the wave: Scorpion Bay is a legendary stretch of right-hand point breaks where multiple sections can link up during a south swell for rides over a mile long. The wave is incredibly versatile—steep and fast in some sections for shortboarders and mellow and rolling in others for longboarders—making it perfect for all abilities. What makes it even more special is its remote location, which helps keep the crowds low and the lineup friendly, offering a rare chance to score world-class waves without the chaos.
Whether you're riding waves, sharing nourishing meals under the sun, or simply taking a breath in the stillness, this experience is designed to help you find presence in every moment. It's not just about surfing—it's about coming home to yourself, to community, and to a life lived with intention.
Retreat Highlights
Nourishment: Fuel your body and soul with intentional, wholesome meals crafted from seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. Every bite is a celebration of slow living and the joy of eating well.
Movement: Gentle, grounding, and revitalizing—our daily movement practices help you reconnect with your body through yoga, breathwork, and embodied exploration. No rush, just flow.
Surf & Nature: This retreat is centered around the best part of this location - the WAVES! All activities are optional, and you can surf as much as you desire. Let the natural rhythms of sun, sea, and sand guide you back to presence. From ocean dips to golden sunsets, nature holds space for rest, play, and deep renewal.
Connection: This retreat is rooted in human connection—sharing stories, laughter, and stillness with a like-hearted community. It’s where strangers become friends and moments become memories.
