Surf & Yoga Wellness Retreat in Ekas Bay, Lombok

Ekas Bay sits on the south coast of Lombok, and this retreat makes the most of its position—five different surf breaks within a five-minute drive, each suited to a different level. The coaching is structured but unhurried: three two-hour in-water sessions with ISA-qualified instructors, eight guided surfs, two photo and video analysis sessions, and three theory workshops covering technique. You get unlimited board use and transport to and from the spots, with local English-speaking guides riding along.

When you're not in the water, wellness takes over. The schedule includes four yoga classes—including one at sunset on the beach—a breathwork session, a CPR and ocean safety awareness course, two signature massages and a body treatment. Recovery is treated as seriously as performance here: unlimited sauna and ice baths sit right next to the yoga shala, so the cold plunge becomes part of the daily routine rather than an afterthought.

The host, Melissa, runs the whole operation with a personal touch that comes through again and again in guest reviews. Staff remember your name, remember how you take your coffee, and are quick to adjust anything—dietary needs, surf lesson times, extra treatments. It's that combination of attention to detail and authentic Indonesian warmth that keeps repeat guests coming back, several mentioning they've already booked their next stay.

The surrounding area is genuinely unspoiled. Ekas is a small seaside village where roosters and birds set the morning soundtrack, and the resort sits among rice fields and coconut palms. Day trips take you to Pink Beach for snorkeling and a beachside lunch, and to the island's waterfalls and rainforests. Everything feels a long way from the overloaded south of Bali, yet the airport is only about an hour and a half away by car, with transfer included.
