Either ways, after the purchase, you need to be in contact with us via email, phone or in person to confirm the precise dates of your holiday and plan the times of the classes.

In order to complete the booking process, the Client will be asked to pay the full amount of the price of the services and complete the intake form (surf level assessment) that will come with the receipt. In some cases, e.g. if the services are purchased 3 or more months in advance from the Client’s arrival date, we might give the option to book classes by paying a deposit only. The deposit is calculated as either the 20% of the class(es) booked or as the 50%, depending on the service. This assessment is done at our sole discretion.

They are closed groups events that are sold on availability/spot basis and which may or may not include the reservation of accommodation. The Client acknowledges that They are NOT purchasing a travel/trip through a travel agency, but that they are reserving Their spot for an organized sport/yoga/leisure event. This means that the entire trip (flights, travel insurance, cancellation insurance, transportation, and/or catering) is NEVER and IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCE offered, sold or included in any event organized by C&D Astrea, or by its managing partners or by using its brand name NALU: Mind Body Surf. In the case the event is handled by third parties or jointly with third parties (such as travel agencies/hosts/restaurants that are entitled and legally able to offer such services) this will be specified and it is the Client’s responsibility to read carefully each and every description of service and/or product that is specified in the retreat’s information, see section ‘what is included’/’what is not included’. Therefore, C&D Astrea and its managing partners are relieved of all responsibility and they will never be held responsible for the quality and/or delivery of services other than surfing, yoga, other sports that they have previously and specifically indicated and/or the sole reservation of accommodation as they act solely as ‘intermediadores turisticos’.
