Balangan Surf Camp

Introduction to Balangan Surf Camp

How's this, it takes 120 seconds to get from your bed to the surf when you stay with us at the Balangan Surf Camp. Just make your way down to the fantastic Balangan beach, where one of Bali’s longest left-handers breaks and, if the swell is big enough, there may well be one or two tube sections as well.

The sheer length of this wave means that it has several starting points, as well as varied sections – in a word, everything the surfer heart desires: whether steep or simple drops, sharp faces or smooth longboard sections, there’s something for everyone. Even advanced surfers can learn something here

For your comfort and to make sure you really enjoy your holiday, we've made every effort to create a genuine Bali feeling in our choice of accommodation. The Balangan Surf Camp is an authentic family business in keeping with Balinese style, with an eye for detail. Accommodation is in two-storey bungalows with one room on each level or in bungalows for up to people. The bungalows are situated round the pool set in a tropical garden. The Balangan Surf Camp restaurant has tasty treats in store and also has a pool table and TV/DVD. Traditional Bali houses are the ideal place to chill out between your surf sessions. There’s always a wonderful view of the cliff-lined coast and you can look out over the sea as far Uluwatu.

Here in the remote Southern region of the island it’s the ideal place for ‘overworked’ surfers to unwind. But on the other hand, it’s just a 40-minute drive to the hot spot Kuta.

Food and Drink

The cost of living on Bali is extremely low. A healthy and filling meal (fish plus a side dish) will cost around £2. The warungs on the beaches also offer fruit salads and an ample nasi or mie goreng for a mere £1. The obligatory evening beer on the beach is likely to be the most expensive thing on the menu of healthy indo food. Breakfast is inclusive – a choice of American, Indonesian, English or Continental – coffee or tea, jaffle with fruit salad or mie or nasi goreng.

The Balangan Surf Camp kitchen also has various western dishes on offer - sandwiches, pizza, pasta, burgers and fries, and of course Indonesian specialities.

Surfing at Balangan Surf Camp

Balangan and the spots nearby are also suitable for beginners who already master a first green wave start. For absolute beginners we would advise a stay in one of the other surf camps, either in Seminyak, Canggu or Padang surf camp

For intermediate surfers Bali has a whole series of soft reef and semi-beach breaks in store. Perfect waves at long point breaks will push your skills and maybe even make you an advanced surfer by the end of your stay. With our experienced guides you can be at all the spots of the southern peninsula within 15 – 30 minutes: Dreamland, Impossibles or Uluwatu.

In Balangan the advanced surfers really get their money’s worth . The best waves all round Bali are on our schedule: the legendary Airport breaks, the classic Bali waves such as Dreamland and Balangan or the world famous spots like Padang-Padang, Keramas or Uluwatu. As something of an institution here, we obviously know a few unknown and unsurfed waves – the ones the guidebooks don’t know.

The diversity and sheer perfection of the waves is enough to make any surfer's heart miss a beat. No matter what time of the year, Bali has a constant surf and ideal conditions for both beginners, intermediates and pro's.
