Surf and Yoga Escape in Bali's Hidden Canggu

Surf and Yoga Bali runs its retreats from The Holy Camp, a guesthouse with just seven rooms, so you're never part of a big crowd. The owner was a sacred healer and the space still has a calm, spiritual feel—spiritual statues, water fountains, colorful flowers, and a pond with fish. The architecture mixes traditional Balinese style with clean Western comforts: white walls, stone floors, and spacious bathrooms with open-air showers.

Yoga happens twice daily in a 60-square-meter bamboo shala overlooking the garden. Morning classes are energizing—think vinyasa or power yoga—while evening sessions are slower, with yin and deep stretching. All mats, blocks, bolsters, and belts are provided. The teachers are certified and rotate styles, so you'll try something a little different each day.

The surf program is structured the same way. You'll get five semi-private lessons over the week, with video analysis after each session so you can see what you're doing right and what to work on. Groups are kept to a maximum of four students per instructor, and they won't mix levels, so everyone improves at their own pace. You'll also have access to dry-surf training equipment and an ice bath on site.

Food is a real highlight. Breakfasts are included every morning and dinners on Monday only—both are plant-based, homemade, and cooked in the on-site kitchen. The chef avoids sugar and gluten, so expect fresh, light food that fuels your days. Unlimited Balian spring water, tea, and coffee keep you hydrated throughout.

The retreat is in Padonan, a ten-minute drive from Canggu's main beaches like Batu Bolong and Echo Beach. You can easily scooter into town for shopping or smoothies, but the immediate area is peaceful—just rice fields, local homes, and the sounds of birds and nature. Airport pickup can be arranged for €35 per person, making the arrival hassle-free.
