Bali’s Original & Best Surf & Yoga Retreat for Women since 2003
Our guests' dining experience while on the retreats has been such a highlight over the years, that it has often been joked that we should be called 'Gourmet Goddess' retreats!
What sets us apart as the world's favourite women's surf retreat is that we take the time to go that extra bit further for our guests, and with our menu that love and care shows. Rather than serving banquet style meals as is the general standard, we serve almost all our meals a la carte so we are able to tailor each dish to our guest's personal tastes and dietary requirements.
Another reason why we set the standards in luxury surf retreats is that we also make all our own food, even down to our gourmet jams & chutneys and coconut lime sorbet. This way we hand pick everything that goes on the table and that is reflected in meals bursting with flavours along with high nutritional content.
Our food philosophy is simple – we serve delicious whole food meals prepared in our own kitchen using the freshest ingredients...and a whole lot of love!
Surf Goddess's focus is on freshness and flavor - layers of flavor. It starts with the ingredients, such as locally grown organic greens for our salads, plenty of sustainable wild seafood and the whole concept of 'free-range' anything appeals to us.
Surf Goddess's food is an amalgam of various spices and flavors created to enliven the senses. It is a culinary journey that is led with passion and fun as we present fresh new menus daily.
Being in Bali we are partial to Asian flavors, yet our menu is peppered with classic delights. Our food includes tastes for everyone to enjoy, from pure comfort to globally inspired cuisine. All our dishes are bursting with freshness and flavor.
Included in your retreat package, you'll enjoy delicious and satisfying meals made with love from our own recipes. We leave 3 meals unstructured so our guests are free to explore Bali at their leisure and sample the outstanding restaurants that the island is well known for; convieniently most are within 5 minutes walking distance of our villa.
