Day 1 - Soft Landing ✈️

Arrive anytime after 1pm and settle in for an unforgettable week. Meet your new friends by the pool and start to unwind. Join us at 4pm for a welcome yoga session.

As the sun sets, enjoy a welcome drink overlooking the Indian ocean, followed by our first group dinner of Indonesian specialties, and a toast to an epic week ahead.

Day 2 - Skate & Explore 🛹

We kick off our first full day together with a special Balinese ritual and a colourful breakfast.

Time to hit the beach for our surf lesson! Our local instructors will take you to one of Bali's most stunning beaches to catch your first waves.

As the day comes to a close, join us for a stretchy 'surf recovery' yoga class as the sun sets on the horizon, and enjoy a delicious Balinese feast at our new home.

Day 4 - Boat Day 🐠

After a beautiful breakfast spread, we set sail for our Boat Day to neighbouring islands. Snacks and tunes are served up on board, and you can let your hair down for the day as we swim, snorkel, and explore the incredible coastline.

Day 5 - Skate & Recover 🛹

Time to slow down the pace even more. After a slow morning of meditation, yoga, and a delicious breakfast, it's time for some rest and recovery, with optional massages, and plenty of time to simply relax by the pool with your new mates.

Uluwatu is known to be Bali’s haven for surfers and beach lovers. With turquoise waters and both legendary surf breaks and beginner-friendly waves, you’ll fall in love with this stunning coastline.

Our week includes 2 surf lessons with local guides. Whether you’re a seasoned surfer or a total beginner, our lessons will cater to all levels and ensure you have the best time on the board.

Skating for all levels 🛹

Complement your surf practice with surfskating sessions, in Uluwatu’s most fun (and pink! 💅) indoor surfskate park.

No matter your level, our 2 surfskate lessons with our carefully-selected skate instructors are the perfect way to try something new and/or practice your balance and skills on the board.

Yoga & movement 🧘

A perfect week of activities wouldn’t be complete without some yoga, mindfulness, and movement.

Join us our private yoga shala for daily yoga sessions, either an energising Vinyasa flow or a restorative Yin practice, depending on what the rest of the day has in store.
