Bali has earned its reputation as one of the best places in the world to learn to surf, and the programmes gathered here reflect the variety the island offers. You will find week-long surf and yoga retreats in Uluwatu and Canggu, dive courses on the quieter island of Nusa Lembongan, and flexible surf-and-stay options that let you set your own pace. Durations range from six to eight days, with most programmes running for a full week. Prices on this page start from 389 USD and reach up to 948 USD, with several European-priced retreats available from 570 EUR to 826 EUR and Australian-dollar options from 680 AUD. Canggu appears most often as a base, prized for its forgiving beach breaks and the rice-field scenery just behind the coast, while Uluwatu and Munggu offer their own distinct character. These programmes suit solo travellers and those arriving with a little or no experience, as well as surfers who already know their way around a board and want daily guiding to the best conditions. Many retreats pair morning yoga with surf coaching, so you can work on balance and flexibility alongside your time in the water. If diving appeals more than surfing, there is a course on Nusa Lembongan where manta rays and mola mola are among the draws.
Prices on this page range from 389 USD to 948 USD for the US-dollar programmes, 570 EUR to 826 EUR for those priced in euros, and 680 AUD to 914 AUD for the Australian-dollar options. The variation depends on the location, duration and what is included.
Most retreats run for seven days, though you will also find a six-day option at The Pineapple House in Canggu and eight-day programmes elsewhere. One flexible surf-and-stay camp lets you choose your own length.
Several programmes are designed with beginners in mind. Canggu's beach breaks are described as among the most forgiving in Bali, making it a popular spot for learning. The Nusa Lembongan surf camp suits those with a bit more experience, as the reef breaks there reward some prior ability.
Canggu is the most common location, with multiple surf and yoga camps. You will also find retreats in Uluwatu on the southern peninsula, Munggu village near the Seseh surf beaches, and on Nusa Lembongan, a smaller island just off Bali's south-east coast.
Most programmes include daily surf lessons or guided surf sessions, accommodation, and meals such as breakfast and lunch. Several retreats also offer daily yoga classes. The dive course on Nusa Lembongan includes the course itself, accommodation and boat transfers from Bali.
Yes, these programmes are well suited to solo travellers. Camp-style accommodation and group surf lessons make it easy to meet others, and many guests arrive independently.
Days often start early with a yoga session around half past seven, followed by breakfast. Surf lessons or free surf sessions usually run from mid-morning into the early afternoon, timed around the tide. Afternoons are generally free to relax or explore.
Some retreats operate on a weekly schedule with a fixed check-in day. The Uluwatu surf and yoga retreat, for example, has check-in on Saturdays. Other programmes, such as the flexible surf-and-stay option in Canggu, allow you to arrive when it suits you.
