Surfers travelling Indonesia’s islands have the choice to opt for the busy mainland spots on Bali, or escape to the smaller lesser-known islands to catch their waves. Surfing is one of the most popular activities of the islands, so we’ve selected the top four surf camps based on guest reviews, location and value for money.
At Pelan Pelan surf camp, improve your surfing whilst being surrounded by Bali’s beauty: rice fields, beautiful beaches, and Hindu temples. At Pelan Pelan, the focus is the ultimate relaxation; the camp combines escaping into the waves with yoga and meditation sessions. Surf and guiding classes are customized to suit the participants’ needs with the rental of surf equipment free of charge. Included in the price are healthy breakfasts, traditional Indonesian lunches, as well as airport pick-up on arrival. To complete the relaxation experience, the onsite spa offers complimentary massages throughout your stay. A number of eight and fifteen-day packages are available, each with different focuses, but if you are interested in an extended retreat the surf camp also offers a 29-day surf vacation.
