Retreat location
Bali, an island in Indonesia, is mostly Hindu and gaining popularity. The stunning rice fields, mountains, and beaches make it a paradise for nature lovers. And it’s not just nature – Bali is also a hotspot for artists, hippies, surfers, hipsters, celebrities, and the wealthy. Each village and area has its own unique charm, offering different perspectives of Bali.
The retreat area, near Canggu, is famous for its amazing surf, beautiful scenery, and tranquility. It’s a great escape from the busy areas of Canggu and Kuta, which are more crowded and focused on tourism and partying. What really attracts people to Bali every year is the friendliness of the local people.
In the Canggu area, you’ll find some of the best surf spots in Bali, and at Pelan Pelan’s surf school, we only hire the best local teachers. There are multiple surf spots with waves suitable for both beginners and advanced surfers.
It’s important for our retreat to embrace the local traditions and lifestyle. By doing so, we create an environment where we can learn from them and they can learn from us, resulting in a truly wonderful experience for everyone.

August 13, 2023 at 12:00 amWe absolutely adored the staff at the retreat – they were so kind and friendly. The small group of guests was also incredible – such interesting people. And let me tell you, the location of the retreat in the quiet countryside was simply stunning. The accommodation was immaculate, and the gardens were just breathtaking. The massages and yoga classes were absolutely wonderful! Oh, and the surf instructors were simply fabulous. I had Putu as my instructor, and he was so caring, positive, and encouraging. My daughters, who are 13 and 15 years old, absolutely loved their instructor Alit – he was definitely a highlight of their visit! And can we talk about the three dogs that live at the retreat? We fell in love with them too!

July 3, 2023 at 12:00 amThe beach we surfed at as a complete beginner was really rough, which didn’t help boost my confidence. I’m not sure if there are quieter beaches that would have been better.
Helpful ReviewThe gardens, rooms, and facilities were all beautiful.
The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and everything was well-organized and ran smoothly.
The surf instructors were patient and invested in helping us improve.
The food was delicious, healthy, and fresh.
The social experience was lovely, with meals being served at communal tables and making it easy to get to know others without feeling pressured to always engage.
There was a good variety of spa treatments available, and all of them were excellent.
The day trip to the temples was an amazing experience, and the driver also served as a fantastic guide.
By the end of my stay, I felt so relaxed!

March 14, 2023 at 12:00 amI’ve gotta say, my entire time at Pelan Pelan blew me away. The staff there is beyond friendly and welcoming. They go out of their way to make you feel right at home. And let’s not forget about the facilities – they’re top-notch. The place is kept super clean and tidy, thanks to an amazing team, including their own dedicated gardener. Seriously, the whole camp has this incredible tropical vibe that just can’t be beaten.
And the food? Oh, man. The local cooks whip up some seriously delicious meals. I couldn’t get enough of it. It was the perfect place to relax and take it easy. Plus, they’ve got an on-site yoga studio and spa that are absolute gems. You’ve gotta check ’em out.
Now, let’s talk about the surfing sessions. I’ve gotta give major props to Pelan Pelan for their instructor ratio per student. It’s so impressive – one instructor for just two students. And get this – they’re actually in the water with us, giving us awesome tips and pointers. It doesn’t get much better than that.

June 22, 2022 at 12:00 amI expected that there would mainly be younger backpackers, but that wasn’t the case. However, it didn’t really matter because everyone was still very open and friendly, and everyone was welcome. The location was more remote than I had expected, but it was situated by the river and among the rice fields, so it was really beautiful. The staff was super friendly, and I felt welcome from the very first moment! All the facilities were really clean and beautiful. I can honestly say that I’ve never been so relaxed and energetic at the same time. I highly recommend it if you want to relax for a week.

March 4, 2020 at 12:00 amEverything was good! You could feel the family vibe and the instructors gave 2:1 instruction, though sometimes it could be 1:1 depending on who was surfing. They’re really passionate about what they do. Pelan Pelan runs things professionally and it’s conveniently located close to everything, yet tucked away in its own private area surrounded by rice fields. The whole staff is fantastic. I highly recommend it to anyone!

October 2, 2019 at 12:00 amThe location is a bit far from the center of Canggu, but there are plenty of eating options nearby and having the motorbike service made everything convenient. We really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere, delicious food, and the surf and yoga lessons. And of course, the pool was absolutely amazing! ?

May 5, 2019 at 12:00 amUnfortunately, you always needed a taxi to get to the center of Canggu. The staff was super nice. They warmly welcomed you into the “Pelan Pelan family” from the beginning. The yoga teachers were great and the lessons were well-explained, which is also perfect for beginners. The food was really delicious. The beds were made every day and lovingly decorated with fresh flowers.

September 10, 2018 at 12:00 amI really didn’t like having to leave Pelan Pelan. I absolutely loved everything about it. It’s such a hidden gem of a retreat, tucked away on a stunning, well-maintained property. The staff pays incredible attention to detail and ensures that everyone has an amazing experience. During our surf sessions, we each had our own instructor who helped us get into the perfect position to catch waves. The yoga classes were held outside, surrounded by beauty, and the teachers were knowledgeable and created well-planned sequences. I also had the most incredible massages during my stay, they were truly some of the best! The food they prepared was always healthy and incredibly delicious. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Pelan Pelan. I’m definitely going to return!
