Curated retreats blending sport, wilderness, and authentic immersion.

Next Departure: South Africa Surf & Safari

From Cape Town’s beach breaks to the legendary points of Jeffreys Bay, this is a guided surf trip designed for those who want more than just waves.

Over two weeks, you'll join a small group to surf South Africa’s most iconic coastlines. Sessions are tailored to your level, with local knowledge, daily guidance, and space to connect with the rhythm of the ocean.

Outside the water, you'll hike wild trails, go on safari, unwind with optional yoga, or simply enjoy time in nature. Stay in handpicked guesthouses, eat local food, and explore at your own pace within a flexible, supported structure.

This retreat is built for surfers who want to ride, move, and truly experience the places they travel through.

Highlights
  • Daily surf sessions from beach to point breaks

  • Local guides and dedicated trip lead

  • Safari, hikes, and optional yoga

  • Authentic guesthouses and unique stays

  • Built-in freedom with just the right amount of structure

The Story Behind

I’m Alessandro, a snowboarder, surfer, and lifelong explorer of wild places. After years working in the travel industry and leading operations across continents, I started Salio with a clear goal: to design trips that combine movement, nature, and real connection.

This isn't a package holiday or a surf camp. Each retreat is handcrafted to deliver a blend of action, exploration, and perspective. We surf. We hike. We eat well. We travel light and go deep into the landscapes, the culture, and the experience.

I personally design and lead each journey, working with trusted local partners to keep it small, agile, and real. You won’t find a crowded tour bus or scripted schedule here. Just a small crew, quality time, and access to places most people miss.

📍 Cape Town → J-Bay, November 2025 is our first retreat. Join us.
