About this Surf Camp

CARI Surf Camp sits on a quiet lane in Pecatu, a 5-minute scooter ride from Padang Padang and the reef setups of Uluwatu. The place was built by two guys who spent a decade coaching across Morocco, Australia and Southeast Asia before COVID pushed them to do their own thing. The result is a small, deliberately unshowy camp with an actual pool, a garden you’ll end up hanging in, and a crew of five Indonesian instructors who know every tide window on the Bukit Peninsula.

The surf program runs two sessions a day — a Lesson Pack for levels 1 to 3, a Guiding Pack for levels 3 to 5 — plus three yoga classes a week, surf theory, video analysis and a dinner with the whole group once a week. Nothing is optional in a bad way; long stays unlock airport transfers, the MANTRA wellness treatment and the 360 MOVE gym pass down the road. The coaches split groups by ability so beginners aren’t getting pushed into Impossibles and advanced surfers don’t sit watching pop-ups.

Accommodation covers most bases. Three types of private stays — boutique bungalows with a garden view, mezzanine studios with a kitchen and living room, and two villas with private pools for groups. For solo travelers, the two shared-twin bungalows and the four-bed dorm villa keep it social without crowding. Everything is air-conditioned, everything has hot water, and you’re a short ride from Uluwatu, Bingin, Impossibles and Balangan whenever the swell shows up.

Breakfast is served daily, there’s a family dinner and two BBQs per week, and the lounge area is where stories from the lineup get exchanged over cold Bintangs. It’s not a party camp — the focus is your surfing, your recovery, and the kind of tan you only get from seven days of twice-a-day sessions.
