Why this isn't like the others

You can rent a desk anywhere. You can't rent a crew, or a reset.

Plenty of companies run "work from paradise" trips now. Almost all of them do the same thing: hand you a room, a desk, and a wifi password, then leave you to figure out the rest on your own. We built the opposite: a tight-knit crew of 16, a real daily routine, and a team that runs every piece of it with you. Here's the difference, line by line.

A crew, not strangers. One group of 16 that lands as strangers and leaves as family.
A routine, not a desk. Sunrise to sunset, structured to move you forward.
All handled, not DIY. Meals, surf, transfers, and leaders, all done for you.
Other work-abroad trips
Reset & Recharge
The people
A rotating cast of strangers, everyone on their own timeline, checking in and out all month.
One fixed crew of 16. Everyone arrives and leaves together. Strangers on day one, family by day fourteen.
Your days
A desk and wifi. The structure, the discipline, and the routine are entirely on you.
A designed daily rhythm: sunrise journaling, deep-work hours, goal check-ins, and speaker nights.
The logistics
You book your own meals, activities, and transfers, and fill your own calendar.
Chef meals, surf, Spanish, massage, workouts, and airport transfers, all handled for you.
The guidance
A host hands you a key and points you to the wifi password.
Academy-trained SYB leaders run the whole experience right alongside you, every day.
What you leave with
A few phone photos and the same habits you showed up with.
New habits, a crew you keep, and a full gallery shot by a pro photographer.

One is a place to work from. The other is a reset you actually come home from.

The room you'll be in

A villa full of people building things.

This isn't a random hostel crowd. Reset & Recharge draws founders, operators, creatives, and remote pros who take their work and their health seriously. You'll put in deep-work hours next to people who get it, trade what's working over dinner, set real goals on day one, and have a crew holding you to them by day fourteen. Part reset, part quiet mastermind, zero pressure to perform.

Body, mind, and the people around you

Three things get better here. All at once.

No crystals, no chanting, no life-coach clichés. Just three simple things, done consistently, for two weeks.

Body

Move every day

Sunrise jungle-gym workouts, surf, trail runs, yoga on the deck, and food that actually fuels you. You'll leave in better shape than you arrived, without white-knuckling it.

Mind

Clear the noise

Protected deep-work hours, morning journaling, and enough space to hear yourself think again. Come in foggy and burned out, leave with a plan and your focus back.

People

Find your crew

Long dinners, real conversations, and a group that goes from strangers to close friends fast. The connections are the part everyone says they didn't see coming.

Straight from the trip

See the reset in motion.

Real clips from past crews on the ground in Nicaragua. Swipe through.

A day in the reset

Structure where you want it. Freedom where you need it.

Everything is optional. But the ones who lean in are the ones who leave different.

6:00

Sunrise on the sky deck

Optional group meditation and journaling as the sun comes up over the Pacific. Set the tone before the world wakes up.

7:00

Jungle gym

A group workout in the trees, steps from the sand. Strength, mobility, and a cold dip in the ocean after.

8:30

Chef breakfast & deep work

A deluxe healthy spread and unlimited coffee, then dedicated deep-work hours on 200+ Mbps wifi. Move your projects forward without distraction.

4:00

Feet in the sand

The universal signal that work is done. Surf lineup, infinity pool, a massage, horseback ride, or the beach bar with the crew.

7:00

Dinner, sunsets & bonfires

Chef-prepared group dinners, accountability circles, theme nights, and long conversations under the stars.

No add-ons, no surprises

Fifteen days, all handled.

You bring yourself and your laptop. We take care of the rest.

Who shows up

Built for people at a turning point.

Founders & entrepreneurs

Trade the grind for deep-work hours and a crew that gets the hustle, without the burnout.

Remote workers

Keep your job, keep your calls, and swap your apartment for a villa on the beach for two weeks.

Creatives & makers

Space, sun, and quiet blocks to finally finish the thing you keep putting off.

Anyone hitting reset

Sabbatical, career pivot, burnout, or just ready for change, this is the space to figure it out.

Who's running it

Led by people who actually live this.

Three hosts who have run this trip for years and know how to make two weeks count.

Mantas

Founder

Started SurfYogaBeer in 2014 and built Reset & Recharge as his own annual sabbatical. He runs the mornings: workouts, deep work, and the goal-setting that makes the two weeks actually stick.

@mantaszvinas

Steph

Lead Host

The heartbeat of the villa. Steph keeps the days flowing and the crew tight, with a knack for making sure nobody feels like the new person for long.

@stephcurrrie

Sam

Host

Your go-to for the surf, the workouts, and the adventures. Sam makes sure you get in the water, out on the trails, and all the way out of your comfort zone.

@sam_knollmeyer

Every trip is run by academy-trained SYB leaders, with a pro photographer and videographer along for the ride.

In their words

The reset is real. So is the family.

Real words from past SurfYogaBeer travelers in Nicaragua.

Grateful to be able to escape, disconnect, reset, reflect, reconnect, recharge and feel what presence, depth and momentum truly mean. Still buzzing and floating on the clouds.

@amalspirations · past traveler

How transformative a journey this turned out to be, how enriching the experiences, how impactful the healthy habits and the newfound connections of mind, body, and soul.

@adrian.frieg · past traveler

So grateful to have the ability right now to pick up and go. An action-packed, super-fun, enlightening adventure, and so many amazing new friends I never would have met otherwise.

@sbala510 · past traveler

The daily work commute is a whole lot more fun here. I never wanted to log off.

Home base

A private, gated compound, right on the sand.

Playa Maderas is a laid-back surfer's paradise 15 minutes north of San Juan del Sur: jungle, cliffs, world-class waves, and sunsets that stop conversation. Our villas sit directly on the beach, all within walking distance.

A massive jungle gym, two surf-view yoga decks, two infinity pools, and hidden corners to disappear into. We've been coming here since 2015, in a 24/7 gated community, and never had a single issue.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

Yes, and most people do. We build dedicated deep-work hours into every day, with 200+ Mbps wifi, a backup line, and LTE for tethering. Take your Zoom calls from paradise, then close the laptop and hit the surf.

Absolutely, we actually recommend it. Most of our travelers come alone. By day one you won't feel like it. Coming solo is the fastest way to real connections and a crew that feels like family.

Entrepreneurs, remote workers, creatives, and anyone ready to reset, whether you're on a sabbatical, launching something new, or just burned out and craving momentum. Most travelers are 25 to 45.

Fast and reliable. 200+ Mbps in every villa, by the pools, and on the yoga deck, with a backup line and LTE for tethering. People run Zoom calls from paradise all day, every day.

Not at all. Everything is optional, this is your reset. Go all-in every day or take a morning to do absolutely nothing. It is built to support you at your pace.

Accommodation, daily breakfasts, 8 chef dinners, all workouts and yoga, 3 surf lessons, 3 Spanish lessons, 3 massages, horseback riding, journaling and speaker sessions, daily cleaning, theme parties, a photographer and videographer, and your SYB leaders. Flights, airport transfers, some dinners out, alcohol, and insurance are not included.

Fly into Managua (MGA) or Liberia, Costa Rica (LIR), both about 2.5 hours from the villas. Pre-book an airport transfer with us and we've got you from touchdown.

Playa Maderas is one of the safest areas in the region. Our villas are in a 24/7 gated community with safes in every room. We've run Nicaragua since 2015 with zero safety issues.

A 20% deposit reserves your spot, with the balance due six weeks before departure. Cancel more than 45 days out and you keep trip credit toward any future SYB trip within 12 months. Within 45 days, payments are non-refundable, which is why travel insurance is required.

Talk to a human first.

Booking two weeks away with people you haven't met is a big leap. Hop on a quick, no-pressure call with Danielle from our crew. She's lived the trip and will tell you straight if it's your reset.
