Bali Surf Retreats for Women

What happens on a surf retreat?

A well-planned surf retreat will take you to the best surf breaks for your level at the best time to catch the best waves. Usually this is in the morning as the wind tends to pick up as the day goes one, so surfers head out in the morning to catch ‘glassy’ surf. The best time to surf also depends on the tides. Different surf breaks will work best on different tides, and the tides change daily with the phase of the moon. It can be quite a science to find the right tide and break combination, so surf session times will always be flexible. After surfing your retreat will offer a balance of personal time for relaxation, spa pampering alongside sightseeing adventure and spiritual activities like yoga and meditation.

20 Years Of Teaching Women Surfing

Established in 2003, Surf Goddess was the first ‘surf retreat’ designed specifically for women who want to go on a ‘surf camp’—but with all the inclusions found on a luxury vacation. The Surf Goddess coaching program was inspired by our founder, who was taught surfing by a woman and recognized that women often learn surfing differently than men. She saw the need for an approach tailored to introduce women to surfing at any age or fitness level.

From there, we developed a surf retreat experience that holistically addresses women’s unique physical strengths and challenges, our relationship to the ocean, and the personal intentions we bring to learning how to surf. Our mission remains the same today: not just to teach women how to surf on their holiday, but to help create a generation of wave riders who carry the soul of surfing with them wherever they go.

We’ve introduced thousands of women to the joy of surfing through our beginner-friendly surf holidays. If you’ve never surfed before, you’ll be amazed to find yourself standing on the board by the end of your first lesson. We also honor that every woman’s journey is different, and our supportive women’s surfing program lets you progress at your own pace, comfortably and confidently throughout the week.
