August 13, 2023 at 12:00 amThe kind and friendly staff at the retreat were amazing. We really enjoyed meeting the small group of interesting guests. The retreat location in the beautiful quiet countryside was perfect. The accommodation and gardens were spotless and stunning. The massages and yoga classes were fantastic. The surf instructors were absolutely fabulous. I had Putu as my instructor and she was so caring, positive, and encouraging. My daughters, aged 13 and 15, absolutely adored their teacher Alit – he was the highlight of their visit! And let’s not forget the 3 adorable dogs who live at the retreat – we loved them too!

July 3, 2023 at 12:00 amAs a complete beginner surfer, I found the beach we surfed at to be really rough. I’m not sure if there are quieter beaches, but it would have helped boost my confidence. The 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 me improve. The food was delicious and made with fresh, healthy ingredients. It was a lovely social experience, as meals were served at communal tables, making it easy to get to know others without feeling pressure to always engage. There was also a good variety of excellent spa treatments available. The day trip to the temples was a great experience, and the driver served as a wonderful guide. By the end of my stay, I felt so relaxed!

March 14, 2023 at 12:00 amI’ve been really impressed throughout my entire stay at Pelan Pelan. The staff at this place is incredibly welcoming and nice. They do a great job of maintaining and keeping the facilities clean, and the whole camp has a beautiful tropical vibe to it. They even have a dedicated gardener! The food, which is prepared by local cooks, was delicious. It was such a great place to relax, and the on-site yoga studio and SPA were wonderful as well. When it came to the surf sessions, I loved the fact that there was one instructor for every two students. Plus, the instructors actually get in the water with us and give us helpful tips.

June 22, 2022 at 12:00 amI expected mainly 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 situated by the river and among the rice fields, so it was really beautiful. The staff was extremely friendly, and I felt welcome from the moment I arrived! All the facilities were incredibly clean and beautiful. I can honestly say I’ve 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 the instructors provided 2:1 instruction (sometimes even 1:1, depending on who was surfing). They’re really passionate about what they do. The team at Pelan Pelan runs the place professionally, and it’s conveniently located close to everything while still being in a secluded area among the beautiful rice fields. Every staff member is excellent. I highly recommend it to anyone!

The yoga teachers were great and the classes were well-explained, perfect for beginners too. The food was delicious. The beds were made and lovingly decorated with fresh flowers every day.

September 10, 2018 at 12:00 amI didn’t like that I had to leave, but I absolutely loved everything about Pelan Pelan! It’s a hidden gem of a retreat tucked away on a beautiful, well-maintained property. The staff pays incredible attention to detail and ensures that every guest has an amazing experience. During our surf sessions, each of us had our own instructor who helped us get in the perfect position to catch waves. The yoga classes took place outside, surrounded by breathtaking beauty, and the instructors were both knowledgeable and led well-structured sessions. I also had the most incredible massages during my stay, some of the best I’ve ever had! And let’s not forget about the food – always healthy and incredibly delicious. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Pelan Pelan, and I’m definitely going back soon!
