Sumba retreat with special guest Lilliana Bowery
1st to 8th July, 2025
MORE INFO
Come surf, connect and slow down with us on a remote island in Indonesia!
This 8-day surf trip is for the intermediate to advanced surfers dreaming of quiet lineups, daily surfs with local guides, fresh food, and time to connect with a small crew of like-minded women — all alongside pro surfer Lilliana Bowrey and the Swell Society team.
After exploring Sumba in 2024, Lilliana and Marney (Swell Society’s co-founder) couldn’t stop thinking about the waves, the people, and the energy of the place — and were so excited to share it with a group of like-minded women. We’ve created a retreat that brings together everything we loved: surfing remote waves, eating local food, slowing down, connecting with the culture, and just being on island time with good people.
We also wanted to bring this retreat to Sumba to support the beautiful locals who are so welcoming. We’ll be staying in locally owned accommodation, eating traditional Indonesian food, and being guided in and out of the water by locals. We’ll be based at Sumba Sunset Surf Camp — a laid-back, family-run surf camp surrounded by nature and incredible views. Each room is twin-share with two comfy double beds, fans, ensuites, shared common areas, and meals cooked with love.
about the trip
With daily surf guiding, yoga flows to stretch out those muscles, delicious Indonesian meals, and an epic adventure to local villages and lagoons, this week is everything you’ve been dreaming of. Come as you are, and leave feeling inspired, empowered, and deeply connected to yourself, the ocean, and an incredible new crew of lifelong friends.
Who it’s for
This retreat is for intermediate to advanced surfers who are confident in the water and can handle overhead waves. You don’t need to be a pro - just comfortable paddling out, up for a challenge, and ready to catch some of the best waves of your life.
