Indonesia offers some of the most consistent and varied surf conditions in the world, and the programmes gathered here make the most of that geography. You will find retreats spread across Bali's southern coastline, from the limestone cliffs of Uluwatu to the forgiving beach breaks of Canggu and the quieter village of Munggu, as well as options on the neighbouring islands of Lombok and Nusa Lembongan, and even a camp on Java's east coast at Red Island. Most programmes run for seven or eight days, though shorter stays of three to five nights exist, and several camps offer flexible lengths so you can set your own pace. Styles range from structured surf and yoga weeks with daily lessons and group classes to coaching intensives built around private sessions and tailored surf checks. There is also a dive course on Nusa Lembongan for those drawn to life beneath the surface. Whether you are stepping on a board for the first time or chasing barrels, the variety here means you can match a programme to your ability. Prices on this page start from 389 USD and run up to 948 USD, with many European-priced retreats falling between 400 EUR and 826 EUR and several Australian-dollar options from around 680 AUD to 914 AUD.
