August 13, 2023 at 12:00 amThe staff at the retreat were kind and friendly, which we really loved. The small group of guests was interesting and lovely. The retreat location in the beautiful quiet countryside, along with the immaculate accommodation and stunning gardens, added to our enjoyment. The massages and yoga classes were wonderful, as were the surf instructors. Putu, my instructor, was caring, positive, and encouraging. My daughters, aged 13 and 15, adored their teacher Alit; he was the highlight of their visit! We also fell in love with the three dogs who live at the retreat.

July 3, 2023 at 12:00 amThe beach we surfed at was really rough, which was tough for me as a complete beginner surfer. I’m not sure if there are any quieter beaches around, but it would have been great for boosting my confidence.
The gardens, rooms, and facilities were absolutely beautiful. The staff at the resort were incredibly friendly and helpful. Everything was well-organized and ran smoothly.
The surf instructors were really patient and invested in helping us improve. They made sure we felt comfortable and supported throughout our lessons.
The food at the resort was delicious and it seemed really healthy and fresh. I loved the social experience there too – meals were served at communal tables, so it was easy to get to know other guests without feeling pressured to constantly engage in conversation.
I was impressed by the variety of spa treatments offered, and all of them were excellent.
One of the highlights of my stay was the day trip to the temples. It was a truly great experience, and our driver served as an amazing guide.
By the end of my stay, I felt incredibly relaxed.

March 14, 2023 at 12:00 amI’ve gotta say, my whole stay at Pelan Pelan has been absolutely impressive. The staff here is incredibly welcoming and nice. They go above and beyond to make you feel at home. The facilities are top-notch too. Everything is always well-maintained and clean. And let me tell you, the whole camp is simply stunning. They even have a dedicated gardener here! The tropical vibes are on point.
Oh, and don’t even get me started on the food. The local cooks whip up some seriously tasty meals. It was pure bliss just chilling out and enjoying the delicious dishes. And if you’re looking to unwind even more, they’ve got an amazing on-site yoga studio and SPA. Talk about relaxation central.
Now, let’s talk surfing. The instructor-to-student ratio is spot on. With one instructor for every two students, you get some awesome one-on-one time. And the best part? These instructors actually get in the water with you and offer great tips. They’re totally hands-on and super helpful.

June 22, 2022 at 12:00 amI had expected that there would mainly be young 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 amidst rice fields, so it was very beautiful. The staff was incredibly friendly, and I felt welcome from the moment I arrived! All the facilities were really 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 was good! We had a great family vibe and our instructors gave us one-on-one or two-on-one instruction depending on our surfing abilities. They are truly passionate about what they do. Pelan Pelan runs the surf school and accommodations professionally, and it’s conveniently located near everything while still feeling secluded in the beautiful rice fields. All the staff members were excellent and I would highly recommend it to anyone!

September 10, 2018 at 12:00 amI didn’t like having to leave, but I absolutely loved everything about Pelan Pelan. It’s a hidden gem of a retreat with a beautiful and well-maintained property. The staff pays great attention to detail and ensures that everyone has an amazing experience. During our surf sessions, each of us had our own instructor who helped us catch waves in the right position. The yoga classes were held outside, surrounded by stunning beauty, and the teachers were knowledgeable and provided well-planned classes. The massages I received were truly incredible, some of the best I’ve ever had! And the food they prepared was always healthy and incredibly delicious. I can’t express enough how wonderful Pelan Pelan is. I will definitely be returning!
