August 13, 2023 at 12:00 amThe staff at the retreat was kind and friendly, and we absolutely loved them. The small group of guests we met were really interesting and made our stay enjoyable. The retreat’s location in the quiet countryside was absolutely beautiful, and we couldn’t get enough of it. The accommodation was spotless and the gardens were simply stunning. The massages and yoga classes were wonderful, and our surf instructors were absolutely fabulous. 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 a highlight of their visit! And let’s not forget the three dogs who lived at the retreat – we loved them too!

July 3, 2023 at 12:00 amThe beach we surfed at was really rough and it made it difficult for me as a complete beginner surfer. I wish there were quieter beaches where I could have practiced and built up my confidence.
The gardens, rooms, and facilities at the surf beach were beautiful.
The staff at the surf beach were incredibly friendly and helpful. They had everything well organized and everything ran smoothly.
The surf instructors were patient and really invested in helping us learn.
The food at the surf beach was delicious, healthy, and fresh.
It was a lovely social experience at the surf beach. 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 at the surf beach and all of them were excellent.
The day trip to the temples was a great experience. The driver was a great guide and made the trip even more enjoyable.
By the end of my stay at the surf beach, I felt so relaxed!

March 14, 2023 at 12:00 amI’ve been blown away by my experience at Pelan Pelan! The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. Plus, they do a fantastic job of keeping the facilities clean and in tip-top shape. The whole camp is just stunning with its tropical vibe and even has a dedicated gardener. And let’s not forget about the delicious food prepared by the talented local cooks. It was so relaxing to kick back and enjoy everything, especially with the awesome on-site yoga studio and SPA. But what really stood out to me were the surfing sessions. The instructor ratio was perfect, with one instructor per two students. And unlike other places, they actually join us in the water and offer helpful tips. It definitely made a huge difference in my experience.

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 secluded than I had anticipated, but it was situated by the river and among rice fields, so it was really beautiful. The staff was extremely friendly, and I felt welcome right from the start! All the facilities were really tidy and beautiful. 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 relax for a week.

March 4, 2020 at 12:00 amEverything is good! The family vibe is great, and depending on who’s surfing, they offer 2:1 instruction, which could also be 1:1. They’re really passionate about what they do. Pelan Pelan runs their operation professionally and it’s conveniently located near everything, yet it’s tucked away in its own secluded area surrounded by rice fields. The entire staff 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 warmly welcomed you into the “Pelan Pelan family” from the beginning. The yoga teachers were great and the classes were well-explained, which is also great for beginners. The food was delicious. The beds were made every day and lovingly decorated with fresh flowers.

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 tucked away on a beautiful, well-maintained property. The staff pays attention to every detail and ensures that everyone has an amazing experience. During our surf sessions, each person gets their own instructor who helps us get in the perfect position to catch waves. The yoga classes, held outside surrounded by natural beauty, are taught by knowledgeable teachers who put together great sequences. And let’s not forget the incredible massages I received during my stay – some of the best I’ve ever had! The food they prepared was always healthy and incredibly delicious. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Pelan Pelan. I’m definitely going back!

The people there were absolutely fantastic, and I found the surfing and yoga classes to be perfectly suited to my beginner level.
