11-Day Surf and Yoga Wellness Escape in Bali

The retreat runs a set rhythm. Each day includes two yoga classes — one energising morning flow, one relaxing evening stretch — held in a 60m² bamboo shala on the lawn, shaded by palm trees and looking out over rice fields. All props are provided. Morning classes focus on building energy and focus; evening classes work on releasing tension from surfing and sitting. Teachers are certified and rotate styles, so you get variety across the week.

The surf program is where this retreat stands out. You get seven private surf classes, which means it's just you and the instructor in the water. Each session is progressive, with video analysis the day after (except Saturday) so you can see what you're doing right and what to fix. There's also surf theory on the beach before you paddle out, covering things like reading waves and paddling technique. The max ratio is four students per instructor, but if you book the private option, it's one-on-one.

The location is really what makes it. The retreat sits in Padonan, a village in the Batu Bolong area of Canggu, between rice fields and local family homes. It's quiet and green, but a ten-minute drive gets you to the beach, shops, and restaurants of Canggu. The property itself has a 12-metre pool, a yoga shala with a lounging area upstairs, and a garden with spiritual statues, water fountains, and a pond with fish. It used to belong to a sacred healer, so there's a calm, intentional feel to the place.

Food is vegetarian and mostly vegan, cooked on site by a chef who keeps everything sugar-free, gluten-free, and homemade. Breakfast is served daily, and there's one weekly dinner (Monday). You'll be eating things like fresh fruit, smoothie bowls, nasi goreng, and vegetable curries — filling but light, the kind of food that makes you feel energised rather than sluggish.

The retreat is capped at 14 guests across 7 rooms, so it never feels crowded. The team operates like a family — guests often mention the warmth of the staff in reviews. There's also a free 60-minute massage included, plus access to an ice bath and dry surf training equipment whenever you want them.
