Kuta Beach – Perfect for Beginner Surfing in Bali

If you’re just starting out and wondering where to begin your surfing journey, Kuta Beach is the place to go. With its soft sand bottom, mellow waves, and endless options for board rental and lessons, Kuta is the mecca of beginner surfing Bali.

Why we love it:

• Gentle beach breaks ideal for first-timers 
• Surf schools and friendly local instructors 
• Buzzing beachside vibe and loads of post-surf cafes 

Tip from Surf Goddess Retreats: This is where many of our guests catch their very first wave and fall in love with the sport!

Canggu – Where Surf Meets Style

Trendy and full of soul, Canggu offers a laid back surf culture with a mix of beginner to intermediate breaks. The waves at Batu Bolong (aka Old Man’s) are slower and rolling perfect for longboarders and those looking to cruise. Just next door, Echo Beach ups the ante with faster, more challenging waves.

Why we love it:

• Stylish surf cafés and beach bars 
• Variety of breaks for different skill levels 
• A great community vibe for solo travelers 

Looking for the perfect mix of surf and wellness? Our Surf Goddess Retreats in Canggu offer daily surf sessions, yoga, nourishing meals, and sisterhood all wrapped up in paradise.

Uluwatu – A Dream for Advanced Surfers

A world-famous wave and an icon of Bali surf spots, Uluwatu is for the more experienced surfer looking to push their limits. This reef break delivers long, powerful rides and consistent swells, especially during Bali’s dry season.

Why we love it:

• Epic wave quality and stunning limestone cliffs 
• Vibrant surf scene and iconic sunsets 
• Nearby surf temples (literally there’s a temple above the break!) 

Not quite there yet? No worries. Surf Goddess Retreats helps you build up your skills safely before taking on more advanced spots like this.

Seminyak – Chic and Accessible Waves

While better known for its upscale beach clubs and boutique shopping, Seminyak also offers beginner friendly waves that are less crowded than Kuta, yet just as inviting. The beach breaks here are ideal for practicing your pop-up and catching long, clean rides.

Why we love it:

• Easy access from your villa or retreat 
• Fewer crowds, great for confidence building 
• Sunset surf sessions followed by beachfront cocktails 

Many of our Surf Goddess Retreats guests stay in Seminyak and love having the option to surf and explore all in one place.

Medewi – Bali’s Best Left-Hander

For those ready to go off the beaten path, Medewi on Bali’s west coast is a mellow longboarder’s dream. This slow peeling left hand wave is ideal for intermediate surfers who want long rides without the pressure of heavy crowds.

Why we love it:

• Peaceful, traditional village vibe 
• One of the longest lefts in Bali 
• Uncrowded and great for skill progression 

Medewi is also a great day trip from our retreat center, offering a different pace and lush rice paddy views on the way.
