You Asked, We Listened: Shaka finally has a pool!

We're thrilled to announce the latest addition to Shaka: a stunning pool! We know, we know… it’s long overdue— but better late than never, right?

Nestled in our lush surroundings, the pool is meant to be a tranquil haven for our guests. Whether you’re looking to take a refreshing dip before hitting the waves, cool off after a successful surf session, or simply unwind with a good book (and a beer), our pool offers the perfect escape.

But that's not all—it’s also a fantastic space for honing your surf skills! We’ll be incorporating paddle technique classes, turtle roll demonstrations, and even duck dive practice into our surf coaching..

The pool is here for you to relax, recharge, and refine your skills, adding a whole new dimension to your Shaka experience.

We can’t wait for you to enjoy this exciting new addition on your next visit!
