DRIFT Retreat

Drift Retreat is a yoga and surf retreat on the island of Jersey, channel islands.

A DRIFT Retreat is a unique wellbeing experience where we live fun-filled healthy days, sharing delicious organic food together. Surfing and yoga are the staple of every day whilst there are numerous additional activities available for as ‘action-packed’ or ‘relaxed’ a time as you prefer. We stay in a historic Tower renovated with all the mod-cons, on the west coast of Jersey, located within the Jersey National Park. Nutritious organic vegetarian food is served for every meal: Gluten-free, dairy-free and Raw are available. Fill up with healthy fuel needed for your day, detoxing without even noticing: Fresh juices, smoothies, super foods, mostly locally sourced and wholesome food. Wake up to yoga each morning, surf sessions every day and explore the nature and wild life on your doorstep with five miles of pristine beach and Jersey National Trust’s Wetland Centre nearby.

Guest appreciation post:

As places start to fill up for Drift Away Portugal we’re reminded of the amazing people that are drawn to Drift retreats.

We’re not exaggerating when we say they’re some of the loveliest people you could possibly get wooshed around in the ocean with.
Like Donna 💖 (pictured here)

Having the chance to spend time with our guests is probably that best part about Drift. Getting to know folks from all corners of the world, from all walks of life is such a gift, and seeing the bonds that are forged between guests over the fire is so special.

Thanks to everyone that makes Drift a community.

DRIFT is 10!! Celebrating ten years of drifting…A whole decade of joyful surf, soul food & salty yoga sessions — We’ve been holding space, sharing waves, fuelling bodies, and moving with the tides for 10 solid years. From our first wild coastal long weekends to the full-spectrum retreats we run today, DRIFT has always been about more than a getaway. It’s been a way of life. Community. Connection. Cold water. Campfire chats. Connection. Epic sunsets. And always, always good food! Thank you to every single one of you who has surfed, stretched, shared and surrendered with us over the years 💛 Here’s to the next wave 🌊 We’re always evolving and have exciting developments to share in 2026 including more special guests and new offerings incoming. We still have a couple of spaces on our Portugal Retreat 12-18 October!

Why do we still do it …Because we love it! Because we need it! Because we want it more than ever! The need for balance is real! We can’t be in the big wide world being productive at a thousand volts all the time if we don’t also take time to recharge & reset & feel good! Radical rest - revolutionary self-love - resisting fascism - protecting our Mother Earth - reciprocating - learning - growing - empowering - evolving - connecting... Thank you for being part of it. 🙏 STILL running to the ocean at every available opportunity .. STILL loving sharing with friends old and new at every opportunity … STILL laughing our heads off at every opportunity…. STILL practising our pop ups / getting our press-ups in whenever we can (Big Up Tuesday morning crew)! STILL Needing radical rest and retreats to reset from the crazy world and come back stronger. STILL loving the ocean and her many moods and lessons. STILL so GRATEFUL for the life we live. thanks ✨🙏🌊💫

Beach + Sunset + Wild thing = a moment to Drift into the present

“Yoga begins right where I am—not where I was yesterday or where I long to be.” – Linda Sparrowe

In our latest Drift blog, Nat shares her insights from the UN Ocean Conference in Nice, France in June. So if you’re interested in learning more about global ocean policy and protection and understanding what these big events stand for, it’s a must read.

Despite only starting surfing at age 21, and heading back to Uni to study Sustainability at age 36, our lead yoga & surf coach has since done a deep dive into the world of ocean science and communications. She’s recently completed 3 years as an IOC-UNESCO consultant within the ECOP Programme and has now joined RISE UP for the Ocean as comms mat. cover. Nat’s written a scientific paper on ocean literacy (and surfing) and coordinates her own citizen science and activism projects & .surf.

She’s passionate about bridging ocean advocacy with wave riding, and this fusion is what will be guiding our surfing sessions in Portugal for Drift Away in October.

Our Story

A DRIFT Retreat is a unique wellbeing experience where we live fun-filled healthy days, sharing delicious organic food together. Surfing and yoga are the staple of every day whilst there are numerous additional activities available for as ‘action-packed’ or ‘relaxed’ a time as you prefer. At DRIFT Jersey we stay in a historic Tower renovated with all the mod-cons, on the west coast of Jersey, located within the Jersey National Park. Nutritious organic vegetarian food is served for every meal: Gluten-free, dairy-free and Raw are available. Fill up with healthy fuel needed for your day, detoxing without even noticing: Fresh juices, smoothies, super foods, mostly locally sourced and wholesome food. Wake up to yoga each morning, surf sessions every day and explore the nature and wild life on your doorstep with five miles of pristine beach and Jersey National Trust’s Wetland Centre nearby.

We believe in taking some time out to unplug, relax in nature, get in the sea, walk in the sand and woodland and just drift away for a few days. You always come back feeling renewed, recharged and rejuvenated with fresh energy.
