Bali is perhaps the best-known island in Indonesia, being a ‘dream’ destination with names such as Padang Padang and Uluwatu with its famous entry cave.
Bali gets the full force of southern ocean swells direct from the Antarctic with its south-west and south-east coasts being sprinkled with surf spots. The dry winter months (June-Sept) are preferred for surf conditions – but this means that these are also the most crowded times.
However, given a bit of local knowledge (that’s where we come in!), it is still possible to find uncrowded perfect breaks on Bali. If you want to have regular and easy access to the surf, it’s best to stay in the south of the island as this is where all the surfing action is located. We would recommend The St Regis as well as Amankila for luxury accommodation and expert tuition close to the surf.
