Bali is one of the most beautiful and wave-blessed islands in the world. Our new Bali Surf Retreat is situated in Canggu, on the southern shores of Bali. This Surfcamp offers everything you need to spend an unforgettable surfing holiday and live a real Bali experience: Great quality accommodation, delicious organic food, surf guiding and coaching, traditional massage and treatments, and relaxing yoga sessions.
But the real advantage of Bali Canggu Surf Retreat is not only its comprehensive surf packages, but to think about as well about the non (or not yet...) surfer, like the “Family package” with interesting global price for the whole family, or the “Chill deluxe package” that focus more on relaxation, body awareness, cruising and fun (Balinese cooking classes, shopping sessions in Kuta, etc ...). And if this is not enough, you have the opportunity to book each feature of the package separately and thus create your own package !
The Surf Camp
This traditional surf retreat is situated in Canggu amongst the rice fields on the southern shores of Bali. Our Bali Surf Retreats offer guest’s quality accommodation and delicious organic meals, along with surf guiding, massage treatments and yoga sessions. It is a place where you can indulge in an unforgettable surfing holiday, filled with endless waves and maximum comfort. The emphasis of course is on surfing but our retreats aren’t just about chasing waves. It is our desire to make you feel at home.
The Hangout
The Chillhouse itself is a traditional pagoda style wooden house. It is the communal area, and features Wi-Fi for all our guests. Bar, lounge and restaurant are on the ground floor beside the pool, while the first floor is dedicated to massage, therapy and spa treatments to enjoy and let go. The second floor is a chill area for sunrise meditations or to enjoy sunsets over the surrounding rice paddies.
The Surfers' House
The Surfers’ House is laid out for 8 guests. On the ground floor there are three double rooms with stylish bunk beds, air-conditioning, safety deposit boxes and extra blue sky bathrooms. The Treetop Loft has seperate access and features an outdoor bathroom on the ground floor, the bedroom on the first and a chill-out bale’ on the second floor that reminds of the pure old days of the surf pioneers. A large, open communal living room on the ground floor is the hangout and features a stereo, TV with heaps of surf DVDs and a fridge filled with beers.
The Bungalows
Our five luxurious bungalows are set amongst 1500 sqm’s of exotic tropical private gardens. They are beautifully appointed with your comfort in mind, and feature deluxe beds, full air-conditioning, safety deposit boxes, mini bar and lovely outdoor bathrooms.
The Restaurant
Our chef serves great organic food for breakfast and dinner, as we believe that free-range meat, fresh veggies, locally caught fish and MSG free brains is the best approach for the health and well being of our guests.
Massage & Therapy
Manual Therapy at The Chillhouse aims at a holistic approach that includes therapy as well as pure relaxation. Whenever you want to treat an injury or ailment or just simply reward a “surfed-out” body we have a range of treatments to suit your needs. Over a 2 weeks stay, applying a technique called NAET, we are even able to eliminate allergies that have been bothering you for a long time
The Surf
Bali is one of the most beautiful and wave-blessed islands in the world. This means you can surf every day from January until December. At our local beach, Canggu, which is only a 5 minute bicycle ride away, there are 8 great waves that work on almost every swell and tide – from beginner waves to full-on barrels it is all there right on our home beach. Within just an hour drive there are more than 60 different spots …no matter what level of surfing you’re at, there’s something for everyone here in Bali.
Canggu Surf Retreats offer customers a surfing program that is designed to optimize your surfing experience on two levels: Firstly, we try to make sure you are at the right spot at the right time, and secondly, we work on developing your surfing skills. To ensure we give you the maximum attention we limit our groups to four people. In this way we can really work on your individual needs.
Surf Lessons
If you are a beginner it is best to start surfing with the right equipment and coaches who really take care of you. This will help you move much faster towards mastering the art of surfing than if you start out by yourself.
Surf Guiding
Our aim is taking you to the right waves at the right time. We check the swell, wind, tide, and our experience helps choose the right spot to make sure that you score a maximum of sessions during your short stay on Bali.
Surf Coaching
We try to push your level of surfing, no matter how advanced you are. Be it your first take off or your first barrel, we will help you to improve and achieve your goals.
Bali Surf Spots
Bali has over 20 top-quality breaks on the Southwest and Southeast coasts of the island and around the Bukit Peninsula. Some of these breaks like Padang Padang and Uluwatu are world class barrelling reef breaks. Others range from good fun, like the beach breaks around Kuta and Sanur, to serious tubular waves. Bali gets the full force of southern ocean swells directly from the Antarctic, its south-west and south-east coasts being littered with surf spots. The dry winter months (June-Sept) are preferred for their perfect surf conditions. However, this means that these are also the most crowded times. The Monsoon, or wet season (Oct-May) still offer good waves. Bali, unlike other areas of Indonesia where all spots are heavy reef breaks for experienced surfers, actually has a lot of beach breaks accessible to all.
- Padang Padang: “The balinese pipeline”. Left . Very fast long barrelling. Breaks over a shallow coral reef and is only for expert Surfers.
- Padang Padang Rights: Perfect for beginners. Long slow unbroken waves. Breaks in front of a beautiful white sandy beach. Ideal aswell for sunbathing and watching the sunset
- Impossibles: Left. Fast racy wave. Reef Coral break with 3 seperate peaks that can link up with good conditions. Just for Experts or Kamikaze Surfers !!
- Uluwatu: Left. Reef Coral break. Very consistent with many different peaks which all turn on at different tide stages. Experts only.
- Dreamland: Right and left. Beautifull Beach break that works at different tides and is suitable for novice Surfers.
- Balangan: Left. Reef Coral break on a beautiful and very quiet white sandy beach. Suitable for all surfers.
- Bingin: Left. Reef Coral break. Works best at mid tide and has very consistent waves with many perfect barrels. With high tide it is perfect for long boarders or intermediate surfers. At low tide it can be very shallow and recommended for expert Surfers only.

The Location
Indonesia
The emerald islands of the Indonesian archipelago have for centuries lured everyone, from missionaries to pirates, traders and more recently to tourists and backpackers. The sandalwood and spice breezes, magnificent beaches, mountains and volcanoes of these islands acting as a magnet to both ancient and modern travellers. But Indonesia is also the ultimate surfer's paradise, with hundreds of islands and unknown waves waiting to be discovered. The climate is tropical and has two main seasons: the Monsoon from November to march and the dry season from June to October. The surf is basically found on the Indian Ocean (south/west coast) while the Pacific Ocean (north/east coast ) has hardly any waves. Although there are surf spots and good waves on about any island, the main surfing destinations are the Bali, Lombok& Sumbawa islands, east of Java island, the easternmost corner of Java, and the Nias and Mentawai islands, off the west coast of Sumatra.
Bali
Although Bali is relatively small (90 miles long and 48 miles wide), it is densely populated and culturally and economically one of the most important islands of Indonesia. Bali has more than 3 million people, a great variety of countryside and probably more than 10,000 temples. While Bali may no longer be the "last frontier" surf destination, it still lies at the heart of the Indonesian surf experience, the quality of its waves and "Bali Hai" lifestyle attracting surfers from all over the world. It is also a mandatory stop for anyone on their Indo trip to the adjacent G-Land, Lombok or Sumbawa surf spots. Bali is an island of high volcanoes, rice fields, majestic temples and beautiful beaches which has maintained its traditions very well alive, but you will equally find McDonalds, surfshops, cheap restaurants, bars and plenty of nightlife in Kuta.
Climate
Tropical. Warm waters all year long ! Dry season from June to September - Wet season from October to May
Bali is a tropical island with temperatures ranging from 21 to 33°C. Dry season lasts from April until September, and that means sunshine every day. Wet season lasts from December until March, and at least a short daily shower is common. It might get a bit cooler at night, but still, temperatures mostly remain tropical. So don’t take too many clothes! Except for one long sleeve outfit and the right shoes for hiking the volcano, shorts and tee shirts are more than enough. Besides, shopping is a must on Bali! Water temperature is a constant 28°C, so you will mostly surf in shorts. At chilly morning sessions you will sometimes wear a lycra shirt, but a neoprene shorty is not really necessary.
The Trip
Bali Denpasar International Airport (DPS)
Garuda, Singapore, Qantas + major airlines
Immigration
You need a visa for entering Indonesia, which you can do on arrival in Bali airport for EUR 35.-. It is only valid for 30 days, so if you plan to stay longer please contact the Indonesian embassy in your country or your travel agent for further details. Note that your passport has to be valid for more than 6 months after leaving Indonesia.
Money / ATM / Credit cards
Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) is the currency on Bali. All money changers change EUR, but if you don’t want to take too much cash with you, there are plenty of ATM machines which accept any credit or ATM (Maestro) cards from home. Most of the shops and restaurants accept credit cards as well.
Medical Information
Medical care is fine here on Bali. The most important personal first aid for cuts and wounds, common travel medication and sunscreen is still a very good idea and saves you valuable holiday time. Contact your doctor or homeopathist for vaccinations or us for further advice.
Packing Slip for Advanced Travellers
Along with your personal stuff take plenty of sunscreen with you. The risk of Malaria is still very low. But take with your prophylaxis tablets. In any case ask you doctor before going to Bali. Do not bring too much clothing with you, because we are sure that you are going to shop a lot. There are also a lot of cheap opportunities to wash your stuff.
