8 Day Surf & Yoga Wellness Escape in Canggu, Bali

Your days here follow a steady rhythm: a morning yoga class to wake the body up, a few hours in the surf, then an evening yoga session to stretch out and reset. The yoga happens in a 60-square-metre bamboo shala set on the lawn next to the rice fields, with mats, blocks, bolsters and belts all provided. Mornings are more energising vinyasa or power-style classes; evenings are slower, with yin and stretching. Teachers are certified, and there's a range of styles across the week.

The surf program is separate from the yoga and runs most days. It includes semi-private lessons with a maximum of four students per instructor, and you're grouped by ability, so beginners and more experienced surfers won't hold each other back. After each session your coach talks through your progress. There's also video analysis day by day, plus access to dry-land surf training equipment and an ice bath back at the camp.

The retreat is run by The Holy Camp, a small property in Padonan, a quiet corner of Canggu. It's surrounded by rice fields and family homes, with the beach about a ten-minute drive away. The owner was a sacred healer, and the grounds still have that feel — spiritual statues, water fountains, ponds with fish, and colourful flowers throughout. With just seven rooms, it stays intimate, and the staff are often described as family-like by past guests.

One afternoon, there's a mindful workshop — the schedule mentions mala making once per package. Other than that, afternoons are mostly free. You can use the pool, book a massage nearby, rent a scooter and explore the rice fields, or head into Canggu for food and shopping. Breakfast and dinner are included daily, both vegetarian, cooked in the on-site kitchen.
