Join Lulu Agan, Chief Officer of Bliss for a week of rejuvenation, yoga, and ocean bliss at the stunning Hide & Seek Resort in Popoyo, Nicaragua.

This transformative retreat blends the exhilaration of daily surf sessions with restorative yoga. Between waves and wellness practices, you’ll savor nourishing meals, connect with a soulful sisterhood, and soak in the natural beauty of Nicaragua’s Pacific coast.

And this year, we're going deeper with Rock Your Bliss Empowerment Coaching.

Surfing is like riding the waves of life.  Through guided coaching sessions with Lulu, you'll discover how the lessons you learn in the water translate directly to navigating the ups and downs of life. You'll explore how fear and limiting beliefs hold you back, what your triggers are really trying to tell you, and how to Flip the Switch—choosing presence and possibility over panic and pattern.

This isn't just a surf retreat. It's a remembrance to come home to yourself, reset your body, and rediscover your flow—both in and out of the water.

Nestled just steps from the waves of Popoyo on Nicaragua’s breathtaking Emerald Coast, Hide & Seek Resort is a boutique sanctuary designed to blend surf, serenity, and holistic recovery. With sun-drenched chill spaces, a sparkling pool, sauna + ice bath facilities for deep recovery, and nourishing cuisine served fresh at the the on-site restaurant, this is a place where wellness meets ocean adventure.

We offer just 4 suites that can be booked single or double occupancy, each thoughtfully curated for comfort, elegance, and tranquility. Expect well designed interiors that feel like a true retreat — comfortable beds, tasteful decor, and spaces that allow you to unwind after surfing or wellness sessions.

Imagine beginning your day with a surf session tailored for all levels—from total beginners catching their first wave to seasoned surfers refining their flow. Each session is guided with care and inspiration, helping you build confidence in the water while connecting deeply with the rhythm of the ocean.

After your surf, melt into bliss with restorative MELT Method sessions led by Stacy Fisher—simple, powerful self-care practices designed to release tension, hydrate connective tissue, and bring your body back into alignment.

Then, integrate what the ocean just taught you through Ride the Waves Empowerment Coaching with Lulu—where you'll explore how the lessons from your surfboard translate directly to life, learning to navigate fear, understand your triggers, and Flip the Switch from limiting beliefs to limitless possibility.

You'll feel how surf, MELT, and coaching perfectly complement one another—one awakening your vitality, another grounding your nervous system into ease, and the third helping you bring it all home to how you show up in your everyday life.

During your down time, the Hide & Seek sanctuary invites you to explore or simply be. Lounge by the pool, indulge in sauna and ice bath recovery, or wander the wild coastline as the sun sets in a blaze of gold. Optional activities such as horseback riding on the beach, or cultural excursions can be arranged to enrich your adventure.

Each day is a dance between exhilaration and restoration, community and solitude, motion and stillness. With nourishing cuisine, breathtaking sunsets, and space to reset your mind and body, our Nicaraguan escape offers the perfect balance of surf, soul, and self-care.

Doesn’t that sound blissful?

Surfer, yogini and empowerment coach Lulu Agan and her collective SwellWomen have been at the helm of leading women to their purpose, bliss and optimal health for more than 20 years. Coming from a vibrant background as a globe-trotting corporate executive and private chef, Lulu aims to take her worldly experience and share it with women who desire to hand-craft their most blissful lives possible. As a RYS600 Yoga Teacher and IIN Certified Coach, Lulu masterfully accomplishes this by honing in on the energy of surf, yoga, adventure travel, wellness and empowerment coaching to craft unique retreats and online offerings that serve to empower any woman brave enough to seek a guiding hand. 

To Lulu, the ocean has the power to erase egos, unleash bare human spirit and teach one to color outside of the lines, while yoga brings balance and a deep, supportive connection to oneself — all lessons that can be easily carried from her surfboard or yoga mat back to daily life, allowing that raw passion to color her every moment.
