Pelan Pelan is our best overall choice for a Bali surf-and-yoga retreat, especially for beginners who want small coaching groups and a quieter base outside central Canggu. Rapture is the strongest Bukit Peninsula option, while Mondo Village and Surf & Yoga Bali suit organised camp stays. Padang Padang adds a structured wellness week, Pineapple House offers a flexible small-villa format, Escape Haven is the women-only luxury pick, Isla Indah brings island adventures, and Serenity is the yoga-led budget option.

We selected nine venues that currently advertise both surfing and yoga as part of the same stay or a clearly bookable package across Bali, the Bukit Peninsula and Nusa Lembongan. We checked official venue sources and current retreat records on 10–11 July 2026. Packages, inclusions, schedules and surf conditions change, so confirm dates, skill requirements, meals, equipment and transfers directly before booking.

Conclusion

Choose by experience rather than a generic ranking. Pelan Pelan and Mondo are the clearest structured coaching picks; Rapture and Surf & Yoga Bali offer area and camp flexibility; Padang Padang suits a broader wellness week; Pineapple House is the lighter Canggu villa option; Escape Haven is the women-only luxury choice; Isla Indah is the island-adventure option; and Serenity works best when yoga is the priority.

Before paying, check the exact weekly schedule, coaching ratio, board and transport inclusions, meal plan, cancellation policy and whether the selected breaks suit your swimming confidence and surfing level. If you would rather compare specific bookable programmes than venues, browse the Surfing & Yoga Retreats category.

FAQs About Surfing & Yoga Retreats in Bali

Which Bali surf and yoga retreat is best for beginners?

Pelan Pelan is our strongest overall beginner choice because its current programme emphasises small coaching groups, video feedback and a quieter base. Mondo Village is another structured Canggu option, while Rapture can place beginners at suitable breaks around its Bukit Peninsula camps.

Should I stay in Canggu, Uluwatu or Nusa Lembongan?

Canggu offers the broadest cafe and social scene with several structured options. Uluwatu and the Bukit Peninsula put you closer to famous surf breaks, while Nusa Lembongan offers a smaller island setting and extra water activities. The coaching programme and transfer logistics matter more than the destination name alone.

Do I need experience in surfing or yoga?

No specialist yoga background is required for many beginner-friendly packages, and several selected venues publish first-time surf options. Tell the operator about your swimming confidence, injuries and previous experience so it can confirm whether the coaching, breaks and schedule are appropriate for you.

What is the best time for a surf and yoga retreat in Bali?

Bali has surf options throughout the year. The May-to-September dry season commonly brings stronger conditions to west-coast and Bukit breaks and can be busier; other months can offer suitable waves at different coasts and fewer crowds. Conditions vary, so ask the retreat where it expects to surf during your dates.

What should a Bali surf and yoga retreat include?

Compare the number and length of surf sessions, coaching ratio, yoga frequency, equipment, transport to breaks, video analysis, meals and airport transfers. Pineapple House offers a lighter schedule with some meals excluded, while Padang Padang’s wellness week includes daily yoga but only two group surf lessons.

Is there a women-only Bali surf and yoga retreat?

Yes. Escape Haven is the women-only option in this guide, with a luxury Canggu retreat combining surfing, yoga, meditation, spa treatments and supported accommodation. It is not available to men or mixed-gender groups.
