(Newswire.net — July 10, 2023) — Kalon Surf Resort is an all-inclusive surf resort nestled in the space where Costa Rica’s jungle, mountains, and beach come together. Guests will be able to enjoy the country’s natural beauty, vibrant culture, luxurious accommodations, and gourmet meals — all while learning to surf from professional coaches.
Learn to surf in style
Kjeld Schigt started Kalon in 2011 with a mission to build the best surf school in Costa Rica when his love of surfing led him to leave the corporate rat race and follow his passion. That same call of the waves lures hundreds of fellow surfers to this magical location each year.
Upon arriving at the resort, every guest is assigned a surf instructor. From beginner to advanced, any level can enjoy learning new skills and techniques at Kalon.
“Surfing is a difficult sport,” says Schigt, “and we know our guests have limited vacation time. When they come to Kalon, we make sure our guests get a coaching experience that is dedicated, worthwhile, and — most of all — fun.”
Amenities at Kalon Surf Resort
While still in the business space, Schigt searched out surf camps to visit during his vacations. “Everything I found was geared toward hostels,” he recalls. “My wife and I founded Kalon to fill a niche gap in the market. Our resort caters to professionals who want to learn the sport of surfing amidst the luxurious surroundings of an all-inclusive resort. We make every visitor’s surfing vacation a once-in-a-lifetime experience.”
The resort’s latest accommodations emphasize Kalon’s attention to detail. This ocean-view villa offers breathtaking views of both the seaside and the surrounding jungle where guests are lulled to sleep by the music of the waves. “We built the villa on my favorite area of our 6.4-acre property,” Schigt remarks. “It’s difficult to imagine a more beautiful place in the entire world.”
Kalon also provides visitors with true luxury in every room. Along with gorgeous natural scenery on all sides, guests open the doors to find two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a private plunge pool, a comfortable living area, a kitchenette, a minibar, and a private patio.
The inspiration behind the resort’s new villa was the popularity of Kalon’s other accommodations. The Bungalow provides a similar layout but is wholly immersed in the wonder and wildlife of Costa Rica’s rainforest, and Kalon’s Junior Suite greets guests with the stunning sights and sounds of the sea and adds private jacuzzis for ultimate relaxation.
Kalon’s remote luxury allows professionals to leave their desks, devices, and deadlines behind for a few perfect days of peace and tranquility, immersing guests in luxury both indoors and out.
Another aspect of Kalon’s five-star accommodations is the resort’s gourmet meals, as each one honors Costa Rica’s rich culture. “One of the best parts of a vacation is experiencing a new culture,” Schigt remarks. “When you venture into a new country, food helps you better understand the land and its people. Trying new foods is always fun, and at Kalon, we offer a truly immersive experience in Costa Rican cuisine.”
Connecting with Costa Rica’s culture
“My favorite aspect of travel is connecting with the local community,” admits Schigt. “When my wife and I travel, we make a point to find out where the locals go. We listen to their stories, experience aspects of their daily lives, and do whatever we can to connect. Rather than simply observing, our goal is to understand the people we meet.”
To help visitors explore Costa Rican culture, Kalon offers extra activities at the resort, such as coffee tastings and cooking classes. “While these activities don’t have much to do with surfing, they enable our guests to connect with the people that prepare their food daily,” Schigt says. “Visitors leave our resort with a far better picture of the people that served them during their stay.”
Kalon is not content to take from the culture — it is on a mission to give back as well. “Before guests come, we ask them to fill any empty space in their luggage with notepads, toothpaste, pencils, and other things needed by Costa Rican families,” Schigt explains. “Many children who live in the village below our resort struggle to attend school because they lack supplies. This is just one way we and our guests get the chance to invest in this amazing community.”
A stay at Kalon Surf Resort is difficult to define. Guests connect with a new culture, push themselves to learn new surfing skills from world-class coaches, experience unparalleled natural beauty, and enjoy all of this amidst luxurious accommodations — all of these combine to make Kalon Resort an exclusive destination like no other.
