Wake Up to Paradise
Your day begins in the serene surroundings of our retreat, nestled amidst lush rice fields in the heart of Cemagi, where farmers tend to their crops with care. Just outside the bustling vibe of Canggu, you’ll find a peaceful haven that perfectly blends Bali’s natural beauty with its vibrant energy.
Wake up to the soothing sounds of nature, the soft rustle of palm trees, and the gentle calls of birds. Start your morning with a nourishing breakfast, prepared fresh with local ingredients to fuel your day ahead. Think tropical fruits that taste like sunshine, and coffee so good you might be tempted to pack a bag of beans home.
Whether you’re gearing up for an action-packed day or just taking it slow, breakfast at Pelan Pelan sets the tone perfectly.
Surf the Best Waves in Bali
For those opting for the Surf Retreat or Get It All: Yoga and Surf Retreat, mornings are all about catching waves. Bali’s world-renowned surf breaks offer something for everyone—from beginners to advanced surfers.
Here’s how it goes: With only two guests per instructor, you get personalized tips, epic encouragement, and yes, someone to laugh with when you tumble off your board. Don’t worry—falling is half the fun! Plus, our guides know all the best spots, so you’ll be surfing less crowded waves that match your skill level.
What’s included in the Surf Retreat:
- 7 epic surf lessons (weekday sessions)
- Surfboard hire included (so no lugging one through the airport!)
- Weekly video coaching sessions (because watching your progress—and wipeouts—is part of the journey)
A free Balinese massage to soothe those paddle arms
And here’s the pro tip: Bali’s surf scene isn’t just about the waves. It’s about soaking in the vibe, feeling the sun on your skin, and realizing that yes, you can actually stand up on a board.
Afternoon Vibes: Stretch, Chill, Repeat
After a morning in the ocean, it’s time to switch gears. With our Yoga Retreat or Get It All packages, the afternoons are all about relaxation and mindfulness. Picture this: you, stretching it out in a yoga shala surrounded by lush forest views, the gentle rustling of leaves creating a soundtrack to your practice.
Our yoga instructors are the real deal—they’ll guide you through flows that challenge your body and calm your mind. And Mondays? Those are for guided meditation sessions that feel like a reset button for your soul.
Not into yoga? No problem. Our wellness offerings include Balinese massages, guasha facials, hot stone therapy, and even mani-pedis to make sure you’re feeling your absolute best. It’s self-care, Bali-style.
What’s included in the Yoga Retreat:
- 5 yoga sessions
- 3 heavenly massages (because one just isn’t enough)
- A facial, hot stone therapy, and a mani-pedi to feel fabulous
A half-day cultural trip (we’ll get to that next)
Dive into Bali’s Culture
At Pelan Pelan, we believe that Bali’s rich cultural heritage is just as captivating as its natural beauty. Our cultural excursions and cooking classes offer an unforgettable way to connect with the island’s traditions and local way of life.
With our half-day cultural trip, you’ll be transported to some of Bali’s most iconic temples and sacred sites. One of the highlights is the visit to Tanah Lot Temple, one of Bali’s most revered sea temples, perched dramatically on a rocky outcrop. Here, you’ll learn about the island’s spiritual practices and the temple’s importance in Balinese Hinduism. The temple’s breathtaking views at sunset will leave you awe-struck, creating a memory that stays with you long after you leave Bali.
Along the way, you’ll have the chance to visit traditional villages where you can witness firsthand how the island’s artisans and farmers work in harmony with nature. You may also visit local markets, where the vibrant colors and bustling energy give you a taste of Bali’s everyday life.
Cooking Class: A Taste of Bali’s Culinary Secrets
Bali is known for its rich culinary traditions, and what better way to connect with the island’s culture than by learning to cook authentic Balinese dishes with our talented home chef? Our hands-on cooking class takes you through the process of preparing delicious dishes like Nasi Goreng, Soto Ayam, and Sate Lilit—recipes passed down through generations.
During the class, you’ll learn the intricate techniques of Balinese cooking. By the end, you’ll not only have learned to cook authentic Balinese dish, but you’ll also take home new skills to share with your friends and family.
Both the cultural trip and cooking class provide an immersive experience that goes beyond the surface, allowing you to connect deeply with Bali’s traditions, people, and flavors.
