Canggu Surf Camp - Canggu, Bali. Indonesia
INTRODUCTION
The Surf Camp Canggu is situated in the green and lushes area of Canggu, which is an area of traditional Balinese rice field surrounded by small villages. Its relaxed ambience and proximity to Kuta and Seminyak makes it popular for those seeking a mellow experience, but still with access to what the cities offer.
There’s a reason why millions of people travel to this Indonesian island every year; the postcard sceneries are all around you and everywhere you turn. With its unique culture, remarkable landscape, great surf schools and chill vibe, Bali does not only offer incredible surf, but also an experience that will last you a lifetime.
The camp, consisting of one big villa and four smaller houses, has a family style feeling with a capacity of 50 people. This makes the camp a perfect place to make new friends. Two pools, chill-out areas, volleyball court, slackline and sun beds are all encompassed by a traditional Balinese garden. In-between the houses we have two dining areas and a gazebo lounge. This is where we hang out and relax between surf sessions. There is usually a light breeze here, so it’s the perfect place to be – even on the warmest days.
Bali is famous for its world-class waves, and for anybody interested in learning how to surf, this is paradise. We offer both lessons and the possibility to free-surf to allow the guests to spend as much time as possible in the water. Where we surf depends on the weather, and we drive to different spots on the island to have the lessons in the best conditions.
The camp staff always try to get involved in what is going on in the local scene and invite the guests to join in, whether it’s surf contests, concerts, art shows or parties.
