Surf Camp 79

Surf Camp 79 describes itself as the only locally owned surf camp in Kuta. It sits on Jalan Pariwisata in the Mong area at the north end of town and offers both mixed dorms and private double rooms, plus a separate space called The 79 Hideaway.

Guests can book a bed alone or join the camp's surf programme with lessons and guiding at the breaks around Kuta. The weekly schedule also includes yoga, surfskate sessions, massage and body recovery, and a communal family dinner that sets the social tone. The covered rooftop terrace with artificial grass and hill views is the main hangout.

It is a good budget base for solo travellers who want to learn to surf and meet people. Book through the website or contact the camp by phone or email for package rates.
