Retreat location
Bali, an island of Indonesia, has a predominantly Hindu culture and is gaining popularity. It’s a paradise for nature lovers, with stunning rice fields, mountains, and beaches. Additionally, it is a hub for artists, hippies, surfers, hipsters, celebrities, and the wealthy. Each village and area has its own unique charm, allowing visitors to experience Bali from various perspectives.
The area surrounding our retreat, which is near Canggu, is renowned for its fantastic waves, picturesque scenery, and tranquil atmosphere. It serves as a peaceful escape from the bustling tourist hotspots of Canggu and Kuta, which are known for their lively party scenes and heavy tourism. The warmth and friendliness of the locals are what attract many people to Bali year after year. Moreover, the Canggu area offers some of the finest surf spots in Bali, and our surf school exclusively hires top-notch local instructors who cater to both beginners and experienced surfers.
We believe it is essential to incorporate local traditions and lifestyle into our retreat. By doing so, we create an environment where mutual learning takes place, resulting in a truly enriching experience for everyone involved.

August 13, 2023 at 12:00 amWe absolutely adored the kind and friendly staff at the retreat. The small group of guests we had the pleasure of meeting were incredibly interesting and lovely. The retreat’s location in the serene countryside was simply beautiful. The accommodation was spotless and the gardens were breathtaking. The massages and yoga classes were fantastic, and the surf instructors were absolutely fabulous. Personally, I had Putu as my instructor, and he was caring, positive, and so encouraging. My daughters, aged 13 and 15, had Alit as their teacher, and they absolutely adored him – 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 – they just added an extra touch of joy to our experience.

July 3, 2023 at 12:00 amThe beach we surfed at as a complete beginner was really rough – I’m not sure if there are quieter beaches, but it would have really 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 really invested in teaching us. The food was delicious, healthy, and fresh. It was also a lovely social experience because meals were served at communal tables, making it easy to get to know others without feeling pressure 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 fantastic experience, and the driver served as a great guide. By the end of my stay, I felt so relaxed!

March 14, 2023 at 12:00 amI’ve gotta say, my whole time at Pelan Pelan has been seriously impressive. The staff here are so friendly and welcoming. The facilities are kept in amazing condition, and everything is just so clean. The entire camp has this beautiful tropical vibe, complete with a dedicated gardener to keep it looking fab. And let me tell you, the food prepared by the local cooks is fantastic. It’s been such a chill experience here, especially with the awesome on-site yoga studio and spa. And when it comes to surfing, I really gotta give props to the instructor ratio per student. Having one instructor for every two students is great, and they’re actually in the water with us, giving us some really helpful tips.

June 22, 2022 at 12:00 amI expected there would mostly 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 anticipated, but it was by the river and among the rice fields, so it was very beautiful. The staff was super friendly, and I instantly felt welcome from the moment I arrived! All the facilities were incredibly clean and beautiful. I can honestly say I have never felt so relaxed and energized at the same time. I highly recommend it if you want to relax for a week.

March 4, 2020 at 12:00 amEverything is great! The family vibe is awesome, and they offer 2:1 instruction (sometimes even 1:1 depending on who’s surfing). They are really passionate about what they do. Pelan Pelan runs their operation in a professional manner and is conveniently located close to everything, yet tucked away in its own peaceful spot amidst the beautiful rice fields. The entire staff is excellent, and I would highly recommend them 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 warmly welcomed you into the “Pelan Pelan family” right from the beginning. The yoga teachers were amazing and the classes were well-explained, perfect for beginners too. The food was incredibly delicious. They made the beds every day and decorated them with fresh flowers, which was really sweet.

September 10, 2018 at 12:00 amI didn’t like that I had to leave, but I loved everything about Pelan Pelan. This retreat is a hidden gem, tucked away on a beautiful and well-maintained property. The staff pays incredible attention to detail and ensures that everyone has an amazing experience. During our surf sessions, each person has their own instructor who guides us to catch waves in the perfect position. The yoga classes take place outside, surrounded by the breathtaking beauty, and the teachers are knowledgeable and create well-structured classes. I also enjoyed some of the best massages I’ve ever had during my stay. The food prepared by the staff was always healthy and incredibly delicious. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Pelan Pelan – I’m definitely planning on returning!
