Wellness & Surf Escape in Bali: Yoga, Ocean & Relaxation

The retreat runs for a full week in Canggu, Bali, a town known for its surf, yoga, and healthy-living scene. Each day, you can join a morning surf session (lesson or guide) with Suni, the on-site surf coach, and pick from a menu of group yoga classes at Desa Seni — the neighboring resort where classes in hatha, vinyasa, yin, ashtanga, and kundalini are taught throughout the day by a team of teachers. The morning surf is almost always better in Bali, so afternoons are mostly free for whatever you want: a massage from Era, the manager and spa therapist (one is included), a trip to a hidden temple, horse riding on the beach, a cooking class, or just lounging by the pool with a book. The hosts are surfers and yogis themselves and are happy to share their local knowledge, pointing you to the best cafes, sunset spots, and places that don’t make it into the guidebooks. The villa is made up of two traditional wooden joglo houses from Java, rebuilt in Canggu in 2013, with a large shared living space, a fully equipped kitchen, two pools, and a poolside gazebo for afternoon naps. The atmosphere is small and personal — you’ll likely get to know the other guests and the staff, who are known for being warm and helpful. This isn’t a full-service retreat with 24/7 programming; it’s a supported base for an active, self-directed holiday. Rachel, one of the co-founders, has been teaching yoga for nine years, with a specialism in Yin, breathwork, and Ayurveda, and is available for guidance if you want to deepen your practice.
