Surf & Yoga Retreats in Lombok for Surfers Seeking More Than a Surf Camp
No One-Size-Fits-All Approach
Looking for a surf camp in Kuta Lombok but want something a little more thoughtful than the standard surf trip formula? Xanadu offers surf, yoga and wellness programs designed around progression, recovery and meaningful travel.
Whether you’re staying at our surf-camp-style home, Xanadu Village, or at Xanadu Retreat, our elevated hillside retreat surrounded by nature, you’ll experience the best of Kuta Lombok’s surf culture while receiving structured coaching and personalised support.
At Xanadu, we know that every journey is unique. That’s why we’ve created a range of Surf & Yoga programs tailored to different needs, goals, and experience levels.
Each program is thoughtfully curated to meet you where you are, blending mindful coaching, yoga, and community in a supportive, down-to-earth environment. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all retreat. It’s an experience designed to help you progress, recharge and find your own rhythm both in and out of the water.
Two Homes, Many Journeys – Discover the Xanadu That Fits You
Xanadu Retreat
Perched on a hill with spectacular vistas over swaying treetops and across Kuta Bay, our Xanadu Boutique Resort is for discerning surfers who enjoy the finer things in life. It’s special, to be sure. But it’s more than just a place to snap droolworthy Instagram pics. It’s a peaceful and serene home away from home that’s equal parts luxurious and intimate.
Available programs – Saturday to Saturday:
- Surf, Yoga & Wellness Week (Level 1-3)
- Advanced Surf Progression Week (Level 4)
- Yoga Immersion Week (only yoga / no surf)
Xanadu Village
For travellers searching for a surf camp in Kuta Lombok, Xanadu Village offers a relaxed and social experience centred around surf progression, yoga, community and connection.
Located within walking distance of Kuta Lombok’s cafés, restaurants and beaches, it’s ideal for beginner and intermediate surfers who want the energy of a surf camp while benefiting from structured coaching and small group guidance.
Tucked away in a quiet corner of Kuta, Xanadu Village is more laid-back than luxurious, with a focus on good people, meaningful experiences and a genuine sense of community. With just six guest rooms, an outdoor dining area, swimming pool and rooftop yoga space, it’s a place where surf days flow into shared meals, sunset conversations and the kind of connections that often outlast the trip itself.
Available programs – Sunday Sunday:
- Surf & Yoga Week (Level 1-3 / All Boards)
- Advanced Longboard Training Week (Level 3 – Longboards)

Why Choose Xanadu Over a Traditional Surf Camp in Kuta Lombok?
There’s nothing wrong with a traditional surf camp. If all you’re looking for is a place to stay, a surfboard and a ride to the beach, Kuta Lombok has plenty of great options.
Xanadu Surf & Yoga was created for travellers looking for something more.
Our programs combine surf coaching, yoga, recovery and community into a structured experience designed to support your progression both in and out of the water. Rather than simply chasing waves, we focus on helping you become a more confident, capable and independent surfer.
At Xanadu, you’ll benefit from:
- Small coaching groups tailored to your surf level
- Surf theory sessions, workshops and video analysis
- Daily yoga to improve mobility, balance and body awareness
- Recovery practices including infrared sauna and ice bath access at Xanadu Retreat
- Carefully selected surf locations based on conditions and ability
- A welcoming community of like-minded travellers
- A balance of challenge, adventure and time to recharge
Whether you’re standing up for the first time, refining your technique on green waves, or looking to break through a progression plateau, our goal is the same: to create an environment where learning feels enjoyable, sustainable and deeply rewarding.
Because surfing isn’t just about catching more waves. It’s about building confidence, connecting with the ocean and discovering what you’re capable of along the way.
What surf level am I?
To keep things smooth, we group surfers into four levels. Read the descriptions and pick the one that feels closest to where you are.

We are travelling in a group. Can we stay at Xanadu Retreat in the same room and book different programs?
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.
What's the difference between Xanadu Village and Xanadu Retreat?
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-camp 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 & wellness facilities
-
Three different programs running in parallel - you can choose a program that best fits your needs
Am I required to participate in all the activities?
Can I stay less than a week?

We've carefully created the weekly programmes for you to have the ultimate surf & yoga experience.
How to get to Lombok?
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.
Is this surf camp suitable for beginners?
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.
Can intermediate surfers join?
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.
Where are the surf spots near Kuta Lombok?
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.
Is Xanadu a surf camp or a surf retreat?
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.
