Now Offering Surf Lessons

That means you’re perfectly positioned to explore everything this vibrant coastal destination has to offer. And if you’re dreaming of the ultimate surf trip, you’re in the right place. The Ventura surf experience is truly unforgettable. Picture this: you, your friends, and family paddling out at Surfer’s Point, right in front of the hotel, guided by expert instructors. With the rolling waves beneath you, the Ventura hills rising in the distance, and the iconic Ventura Pier framing the horizon, it’s pure magic. Then, when the session wraps, it’s time to unwind. Feel the salty breeze on your skin as you relax at this oceanfront retreat—where nothing but the rhythmic sound of the waves separates you from the sea. So, what are you waiting for? Grab your board and dive in!
The Surf Lessons
Ride the Waves, Soak in the Adventure Your surf lesson comes fully equipped with an 8’-9’ surfboard and high-quality wetsuit—or bring your own gear for a personalized touch. Whether you’re paddling out with family, friends, or opting for a private session, surfing is always better when shared. We tailor each lesson to your skill level and the day’s conditions, ensuring you have an unforgettable experience. With Surfer’s Point and Ventura’s stunning beaches as your backdrop, every ride feels like pure magic. We offer private and group lessons, including our Saturday Group Surf Class—choose between a morning session (7:30am-9:00am) or an afternoon session (2:00pm-3:30pm) for just $100 per person. After catching waves, indulge in the full beachside experience. Unwind by the pool, take the hotel’s bikes for a spin through downtown Ventura’s eclectic charm, then cap off the day with a sunset toast at the oceanfront fire pit—savoring a glass of local beer or wine as the waves whisper their final farewell.
