To keep things smooth, we group surfers into four levels. Read the descriptions and pick the one that feels closest to where you are.

Yes, absolutely! At Xanadu, we’ve designed our programs to cater to different interests and experience levels — whether you’re here to surf, deepen your yoga practice, or enjoy both. Each of you can book a different program and still share the same room.

You’ll also get to enjoy plenty of shared moments together — from meals to community activities and some of the afternoon workshops that bring all guests together. It’s the perfect balance between personal growth and shared experience.

If you wish to book the same room while choosing two different packages, just drop us an email and our team will assist you with a manual booking.

Both Xanadu Village and Xanadu Retreat share the same heart and philosophy — a balance of surf, yoga, community, and connection — but they offer different experiences to suit your style of travel.

Xanadu Village

Located in the heart of Kuta Lombok, the Village has a cozy, surf-villa feel with six rooms and a laid-back atmosphere. It’s ideal for beginner and intermediate surfers looking for a social, friendly environment where everything revolves around surf, yoga, and connection.

• Six-room boutique property

• Daily surf & yoga schedule year-round

• Walkable location close to cafes and beaches

Xanadu Retreat

Perched on the hillside with ocean views, the Retreat offers a more elevated “barefoot luxury” experience. It’s designed for guests who want to unwind, deepen their practice, and enjoy comfort and privacy — while still being part of the Xanadu community.

• Infinity pool, spa, ice bath, infrared sauna & wellness facilities

• Three different programs running in parallel - you can choose a program that best fits your needs

Nope! We’re pretty mellow when it comes to this, so feel free to join in or skip any activity on the program. The choice is always yours.

To ensure the highest quality of holiday experience, we only accept Saturday-Saturday stays at Xanadu Retreat and Sunda-Sunday stays at Xanadu Village.

We've carefully created the weekly programmes for you to have the ultimate surf & yoga experience.

By plane

The quickest and the easiest way of getting to Lombok is by plane. Lombok International Airport (LOP) has direct flights from:

• Kuala Lumpur (Air Asia) - 3hrs
• Singapore (Scoot) - 2hrs
• Jakarta (Garuda, Air Asia, SuperJet, CityLink, Lion) - 2hrs
• Bali (Wings Air, CityLink) - 25mins
• Other Indonesian airports

We're a 25-min drive from the airport.

The easiest way to book domestic flights is via Traveloka.com - an Indonesian equivalent of booking.com as some of the airlines do not accept online payments on their websites. Use Traveloka for airlines other than Garuda and AirAsia - AirAsia and Garuda can be booked directly.

By fast boat from Bali

Another, not-so-fast option, is a fast boat from Padang Bai in Bali to Bangasal/Senggigi in Lombok. The boat takes around 3 hours and it's another 2.5 hr drive from the harbour to Xanadu.

There are multiple fast boat companies, to name a few: Eka Jaya, Ostina, Blue Water Express etc. You can check the schedule and book your ticket directly with them.

By public ferry from Bali

It's the longest ride you can take and the cheapest one. The ferry leaves from Padang Bai and goes to Lembar. The ride takes anything between 4-6 hours depending on the sea conditions. There is no schedule and no advance bookings. The ferry operates 24/7 and leaves on average every 2 hours or when full. The drive from Lembar to Kuta takes 1.5 hour.

Absolutely. Many of our guests arrive having never surfed before or with only limited surfing experience.

Our beginner-friendly programs focus on building strong foundations in a safe and supportive environment. You'll learn everything from ocean awareness and surf etiquette to paddling, catching waves and standing up confidently. Our coaches work closely with each guest, helping you progress at your own pace while ensuring the experience remains enjoyable and rewarding.

Yes. In fact, many of our guests are intermediate surfers looking to improve their consistency, confidence and understanding of the ocean.

We offer level-specific coaching designed to help surfers progress beyond the beginner stage, with guidance on wave selection, positioning, timing, turning techniques and reading conditions. Through a combination of surf coaching, video analysis and workshops, you'll receive personalised feedback to help break through common progression plateaus.

More advanced surfers may also be interested in our Advanced Surf Progression Week, designed specifically for surfers ready to tackle steeper, more challenging waves.

Kuta Lombok is surrounded by a variety of surf breaks suitable for different experience levels, making it one of the best places in Indonesia to learn and improve.

Depending on the conditions and your surf level, our coaches may take you to beginner-friendly beach breaks, mellow reef breaks or more advanced waves around South Lombok. Rather than surfing the same spot every day, we carefully select locations based on swell, wind, tides and the ability level of the group.

This flexibility allows us to provide the safest and most enjoyable learning environment possible while helping guests experience the diversity of Lombok's coastline.

A little bit of both. Like a traditional surf camp, we provide accommodation, surf coaching, equipment and a welcoming community of like-minded travellers. However, our programs go beyond simply taking guests surfing each day.

At Xanadu, we combine structured surf coaching, video analysis, surf theory, yoga and recovery practices to create a more holistic experience. Whether you stay at Xanadu Village or Xanadu Retreat, the focus is on meaningful progression, personal wellbeing and creating space to reconnect with yourself and the ocean.
