MEET YOUR HOST
Pro surfer Giada Legati will guide you through some of the most beautiful surf destinations in the world.
Raised in Bali, Indonesia, Giada started surfing at 8 years old and quickly grew into a competitive surfer, becoming a respected athlete with multiple titles across surf competitions in Asia.
Since then, she has built an international surf career competing for Italy in the World Surf League Qualifying Series and ISA events, while also working as a WSL commentator.
But beyond competition, Giada represents a lifestyle built around surfing, travel, connection, and experiencing places in a deeper and more authentic way — the same feeling at the heart of every Kima Women’s Surf Retreat.
THE KIMA CIRCLE
The right people change everything.
Beautiful villas and perfect waves are only part of the story.
At Kima, we've always believed that who you share an experience with matters just as much as the destination itself. That's why we created these retreats: to bring together women who love surfing, appreciate great experiences, and know how to enjoy life.
Women who are curious, supportive, adventurous, and unapologetic about investing in themselves.

RETREAT VS SURF CAMPS
Both Kima Surf Camps and Kima Women’s Surf Retreats are built around a shared love for surfing, travel, and beautiful destinations.
But while Surf Camps are designed around independent surf travel, Kima Women’s Surf Retreats offer a more curated, intimate, and elevated experience.
Created for small groups only and hosted by pro surfer Giada Legati together with Kima Surf, these retreats combine surf progression with premium villa stays, personalised coaching, beautiful dining experiences, and carefully selected activities beyond the water.
Designed as a welcoming women-only experience, the retreats are about progression, connection, confidence, and sharing unforgettable moments with like-minded women — all while experiencing the signature Kima lifestyle in a more exclusive and intentional way.
WHAT WILL YOU EXPERIENCE?
FAQ
Kima Circle attracts women with high standards - girls who love great waves, beautiful experiences and aren't afraid to treat themselves.
Many guests arrive solo, and it's often the reason they leave with the strongest friendships.
Come on your own, and you'll quickly find yourself surrounded by women who just get it.
Most leave wishing they had stayed longer.
You should feel comfortable catching and riding unbroken waves independently and paddling out without constant assistance.
If you're unsure whether you're ready, reach out. We'd much rather help you find the perfect retreat than have you guessing.
Surfing is at the heart of everything we do, but this is much more than a traditional surf camp.
Think surf progression, beautiful villas, unforgettable dinners, local experiences, incredible women and the kind of trip you'll still be talking about months later.
Mornings usually begin with a yoga, mobility or warm-up session to get your body ready for the day ahead, followed by your first surf session with our female surf guides and Giada.
Expect two surf sessions most days. Depending on surf levels and conditions, the group may split into smaller groups to ensure everyone receives the right level of support, coaching and attention.
Between sessions, you'll have time to relax, recover and enjoy the villa, but there’s always something happening. Each day includes a curated activity, whether that's exploring the local area, sightseeing, discovering hidden gems, visiting a beautiful wellness space or enjoying one of the retreat's special surprises. Every destination has its own little secret - we’ll keep some mystery for now.
Evenings are reserved for one of our favourite parts of the retreat: getting dressed up and heading out together to some of the best and trendiest restaurants in the area. Great food, great conversations and unforgettable memories are all part of the experience.
Of course you'll surf incredible waves, progress with expert guidance and receive video analysis throughout the retreat. But every destination is also built around something unique beyond surfing.
Because while great waves bring us there, we believe the most memorable trips help you connect with a place, its culture and the people around you.
And yes, dinners are included. Expect everything from local gems to some of our favourite trendy restaurants - part surf trip, part gastro tour.
Accommodation, airport transfers, daily surf activities, transport, meals, photography, social activities and retreat experiences are all included.
Our goal is simple: arrive, switch off and let us take care of the rest.
She'll be surfing, coaching, helping with video analysis, joining dinners, sharing experiences and spending time with the group throughout the retreat.
Think less celebrity appearance and more experienced surf traveller, cool older sister and someone you'd genuinely want to spend a week exploring with.
Smaller groups mean better surf experiences, more personalised support, stronger connections and a much more intimate atmosphere.
The magic is in keeping it personal.
There’s something special about spending a week with women who love surfing, appreciate beautiful experiences and genuinely cheer each other on.
No awkward competition.
No pressure.
Just great waves, great conversations, spontaneous adventures and the kind of friendships that make you wonder why you didn’t do this sooner.
It's the girls trip you keep talking about taking, except someone finally organised it properly.
And we're not stopping there with a few exciting locations already on our radar.
