Come and join Pelan Pelan Bali for a relaxing holiday with your family. We offer a range of activities including surfing, yoga, and immersing yourself in Balinese culture. Our package has everything you could want for an amazing Indonesian vacation. Your whole family will have a fantastic time and truly embrace the Pelan Pelan mentality of taking it easy.
During this retreat, you and your family can enjoy yoga and surf sessions, as well as join a trip to Tanah Lot temple, have guided meditation sessions, learn to cook authentic Balinese meals, and experience relaxing Balinese massages.
Let’s talk about surfing! Bali has waves all year round and perfect weather, making it ideal for beginners and advanced surfers. No need for a wet suit, just put on some sunscreen, grab your bikini or board shorts, and you’re good to go into the water. Every morning, we’ll choose a surf spot based on the level of our students and the wave conditions. Each guide will only assist two guests per session to provide more personalized attention. Bali has plenty of surf spots to offer, and we know where to find the perfect wave for you. If you don’t have your own board, don’t worry, we’ll provide one that suits your level for the courses.
Now, let’s move on to yoga. At Pelan Pelan, we believe in the combination of healthy food, an active lifestyle, and the healing energy of yoga. During this retreat, you’ll have the opportunity to take yoga classes surrounded by Bali’s beautiful nature and discover yoga as a complete health discipline for your body, mind, and soul. We offer all kinds of yoga, and we choose and combine various styles based on your requests. Our yoga classes are given in small groups and suitable for all levels of experience and age. We love practicing Vinyasa Flow, which combines movement and breath flow smoothly. With each breath and pose, you’ll feel yourself getting stronger. We also offer Ashtanga, Baptiste, Jivamukti, Power, and Prana Flow yoga, all of which can be considered as Vinyasa yoga.
In Bahasa, Tanah Lot means land in the sea. During this retreat, you’ll have the chance to explore the temple’s captivating beauty and witness the stunning sunset.
We’re hosting this retreat in Canggu, Bali, Indonesia. Bali is an amazing island within Indonesia with beautiful rice fields, mountains, and beaches that nature lovers will adore. It’s also becoming more and more popular, attracting artists, hippies, surfers, hipsters, celebrities, and those with wealth. Each village and area in Bali has its own unique vibe, allowing you to experience the island from different perspectives.
Canggu, where our retreat is located, is known for its fantastic surf, stunning nature, and tranquility. It’s the perfect escape from the bustling areas of Kuta, which can be quite hectic and touristy. One of the reasons people flock to Bali each year is the warm and friendly locals, and that’s why Pelan Pelan believes in embracing local traditions and lifestyle in our retreats. We want to create an environment where you can learn from the locals and they can learn from you, resulting in an unforgettable experience for everyone.
But Canggu isn’t just famous for its waves. It’s also known for its vibrant surf culture and nightlife. You’ll find plenty of cafes, bars, restaurants, and shops just a short 10-minute drive from Pelan Pelan Surf and Yoga Retreat.

It teaches you to embrace peace and find calmness within. It’s a chance to disconnect from the constant activity of your thoughts.
For those wanting to unleash their creativity, there’s a jewelry making class available. Get hands-on and create your own silver jewelry, serving as a beautiful souvenir of your time in Bali. The class lasts for three hours and costs around 40 EUR.

Putu was my instructor and he truly cared, was positive and encouraging. My daughters, aged 13 and 15, adored their teacher Alit – he was definitely one of the highlights of their visit! And let’s not forget about the three adorable dogs who call the retreat their home – we fell in love with them too!

July 3, 2023 at 12:00 amThe beach we surfed at as a complete beginner surfer was really rough, and I’m not sure if there are quieter beaches that could have boosted my confidence. The gardens, rooms, and facilities were beautiful. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and everything was well organized and ran smoothly. The surf instructors were patient and invested in our progress. The food was delicious, healthy, and fresh. It was also a lovely social experience as meals were served at communal tables, and it was 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 a great experience, and our driver served as a fantastic guide. By the end of my stay, I felt so relaxed.

March 14, 2023 at 12:00 amI’ve been absolutely blown away by my time at Pelan Pelan. The staff here is incredibly friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home. They really go above and beyond to make sure everything is top-notch. The facilities are impeccable – they’re always clean and well-maintained. And let me tell you, this place is stunning. The whole camp has this amazing tropical vibe, thanks in part to the dedicated gardener who keeps everything looking perfect. And the food, oh my goodness. The local cooks whip up some fantastic meals that I couldn’t get enough of.
I have to mention how nice it was to relax and unwind here. The on-site yoga studio and SPA were great additions to my stay. And let me tell you, the surfing sessions were incredible. I loved that there was one instructor for every two students. It really allowed for a personalized experience, and the instructors were right there in the water with us, giving us helpful tips. Overall, my time at Pelan Pelan has been absolutely amazing.

June 22, 2022 at 12:00 amI was expecting to see mostly younger backpackers, but that wasn’t the case. However, it didn’t really matter because everyone was still very open and friendly, and anyone could fit in. The location was more secluded than I had anticipated, but it was situated by the river and among rice fields, so it was incredibly beautiful. The staff was extremely friendly, and I felt welcomed right from the start. All the facilities were exceptionally clean and impressive. I can honestly say that I have never felt so relaxed and energized at the same time. I highly recommend it if you want to unwind for a week.

March 4, 2020 at 12:00 amEverything is good! Pelan Pelan has a great family vibe, with 2:1 instruction (although it could be 1:1 depending on who’s surfing). The team here is so passionate about what they do. They run Pelan Pelan professionally, and it’s conveniently close to everything, yet tucked away in its own secluded area within the rice fields. Plus, every single staff member is excellent. I highly recommend it to anyone!

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 welcomed you into the “Pelan Pelan family” right from the start. The yoga teachers were great and the classes were well explained – perfect for beginners too. The food was delicious. They made the beds every day and decorated them with fresh flowers, which added a loving touch.

September 10, 2018 at 12:00 amI didn’t like having to leave, but I absolutely loved everything about Pelan Pelan! It’s such a beautiful retreat tucked away on a well-maintained property. The staff pays incredible attention to detail and ensures that everyone has an amazing experience. During our surf sessions, each of us has our own instructor to help us catch waves in the right position. The yoga sessions were held outside, surrounded by stunning natural beauty, and the teachers were very knowledgeable and led well-structured classes. Oh, and let me tell you about the incredible massages I received – they were some of the best I’ve ever had! And the food they prepared? Always healthy and incredibly delicious. I can’t say enough amazing things about Pelan Pelan. Needless to say, I’ll definitely be returning!
