RETREAT DETAILS
Surf in Luxury
You’ll arrive at the airport to meet our driver who will help you with all your gear. When you arrive at Floating Leaf, you’re welcome to a complimentary foot massage or if there’s time, put your fins on and head to some local breaks to get wet as soon as possible.
On the first day, we’ll discuss your surfing level, preferences, season and current surf conditions to help you get the most out of your trip. Bali has amazing waves for all levels, from beginner to expert. We’ll hook you up with a good instructor if you need it. Sila is among the most knowledgeable surf guides on the island. We don’t know how he does it, but he always knows the best surf in any condition.
Included in your package are all sorts of goodies such as delicious, healthy meals, a surf guide, a massage, spa discounts and use of Floating Leaf amenities.
Floating Leaf is perfect for surfers who are traveling with a spouse or friend who doesn’t surf. With an open air yoga studio, large swimming pool, luxurious rooms, the award-winning Melati spa and nearby shopping, your spouse won’t even realize your gone.
Bali’s World Class Surf
Bali has two surf seasons. First, the popular dry winter season from June to October where the offshores create perfect lines at breaks like Uluwatu, Padang Padang, Airports, Balangan, Dreamland, Kuta and Medewi on the west coast. There’s also the wet, rainy season with fewer crowds from November to March where the offshores switch, creating world class waves on east coast breaks like Keramas, Hyatt Reef, Sanur, Serangan and Nusa Dua. Each season has its gems.
In terms of difficulty, each coast has both expert and beginner waves. Most intermediate and expert waves break over reef, but there are also beach breaks that can break as nicely as any wave in the world with the right conditions.
If you want to avoid the crowds, your surf guide will take you to uncrowded breaks that only locals know about. Hush hush as these secret spots (yes, Bali still has a few) need to remain secret.
Three days at Floating Leaf is a great way to begin a surf vacation. We’ll give you all the local knowledge to break out on your own afterward if you want. Take a ride up the coast to explore other surf gems or head off to world famous G-Land just across the channel.
