Xanadu Surf & Yoga Boutique Retreat

Xanadu Surf & Yoga runs small-group surf, yoga and wellness holidays from two properties around Kuta: Xanadu Village, a year-round surf and yoga camp, and Xanadu Retreat, set in the hills above town with views over the hills and ocean. Its 5.0 rating from more than 400 Google reviews makes it one of the best-reviewed stays in the area.

Stays are sold mainly as week-long programmes. Surf coaching covers levels from first-timers to advanced, with video analysis, theory sessions and individual feedback, plus dedicated weeks for advanced shortboard progression and longboarding. The Yoga Immersion Week builds through movement, breathwork, meditation and philosophy. At the Retreat there is an ocean-view yoga shala, a pool, spa treatments, an ice bath and infrared sauna, and healthy meals are part of the package.

Guests praise the patient instructors and attentive, genuine service. It suits solo travellers and couples who want structured progression rather than a simple room. Programmes have limited places and fixed dates, so book ahead on the website.
