You can bring your surfboard, but if you booked surf lessons with us, we will provide you with a surfboard that is fit to your surf level. The water tends to be colder from June to October - you may want to take a wetsuit with you if you're visiting during those months. Otherwise you just need a bikini or board shorts. However, a rash guard/lycra or t-shirt is highly advisable to avoid sunburn. We sell them as well at the retreat. If you burn easily, we'd advice a long sleeved rash guard and, of course, bring a good water-resistant sunscreen.

Yes! We have different wifi spots for the common area as well as every room.

Security in Bali
Bali is an island of Indonesia. It's mostly hindu and becoming more and more popular. The beautiful rice fields, mountains and beaches make it a heaven for people loving nature. Besides nature it's also a hotspot for artists, hippies, surfers, hipsters, celebrities and the rich. Each village and area attracts it's own people making it possible to see Bali from a lot of different angles. The area around the retreat (Canggu) is known for it's excellent surf, beautiful nature and peacefulness. It is a nice getaway from the crowded areas in Kuta, which are more hectic and include a lot of tourism and partying. It's the friendliness of the locals that make a lot of people want to come to Bali each year. We find it important to involve the local traditions and lifestyle in our retreat. Doing so creates an environment in which you can learn from them and they can learn from you resulting in a lovely experience for everyone.
IS IT DANGEROUS TO TRAVEL TO BALI?
It’s not dangerous! However you have to pay attention, look out for your personal belongings like everywhere else. A lot of tourists are sitting on the back of a scooter, holding there smartphone up to navigate the route with google maps. If you do that please be careful and holt your phone close to your body so that no one can grab it during your ride. This is a common mistake tourists are making. Balinese people are really friendly and nice! Just use your common sense and trust your intuition.
DO I NEED A TRAVEL INSURANCE?
We’re suggesting a travel insurance. It will cover medical and cancellation costs caused by things out of your control. At the moment it's required to have a health insurance that covers COVID.
What else is good to know?
Even though you find a lot of western influence in Bali, Indonesia is not a western country- that’s what makes it so charming to us!
People drive on the left side of the road in Bali (you will pick this up very fast).
The local currency is called the Rupiah (IDR). 100.000 rupiah are worth around 7€. The Balinese mentality is very nice. People always smile and are very friendly. If things take a bit longer then expected, please relax, Balinese will always try their best to help you as good as possible. Part of the culture is to bargain about a lot things. Don't feel you are being ripped off, it's just their way of doing business. We'll help you to get good at it and to pay the right price.
