All-Inclusive Surf Camp with Daily Yoga in Canggu, Bali

A typical day starts early with breakfast at the on-site restaurant, which opens at 7am, then a morning surf session at one of the nearby sand-bottom breaks. Transport to the spot, boards and rashguards are provided, and coaches match the board to your level. Back at camp there is lunch or dinner, a surf theory class, and a video analysis session where you go through the footage from the day. A daily yoga class runs on the open-air deck, and the second surf session usually lands in the afternoon.

What separates this camp from a lot of Bali surf stays is the volume of coaching. Two sessions a day, a theory class, daily video analysis and photos are all included in the nightly rate rather than sold as extras. Groups are kept small, and the breaks used — Berawa and Kuta — are forgiving sand-bottom waves, which is why complete beginners tend to be standing up on day one. Guests who book a month get a board matched to their level as they improve, and enough water time to move from white water to green waves.

The camp sits inside the Discovery Canggu resort on Jl. Subak Sari, surrounded by rice terraces but a short walk from cafes, shops and bars. Berawa Beach is three minutes on foot. There are two swimming pools with loungers, a lounge with a full-size pool table, board games and a big-screen projector for movie nights, an open-air fitness corner with strength and mobility gear, a yoga deck, and a bonfire area in the garden used once a week. High-speed Wi-Fi runs throughout if you need to work between sessions.

Food comes out of the on-site kitchen, which is open from 7am and serves breakfast plus lunch or dinner daily. The kitchen handles vegan, vegetarian and other dietary requirements, and Friday brings a buffet-style BBQ dinner. Pre-surf snacks are provided. Coffee, beers and cocktails are available at the restaurant and bar.

Evenings are social but not a party scene. Surf trivia night, bonfire night, movie nights and sunset walks are on the weekly schedule, and the long communal dining table is where most people end up. Reviews from guests who stayed a month describe it as feeling like family by the end, with the video analysis and patient instructors called out as the reason their surfing improved as fast as it did.
