BALI FITNESS RETREATS
COMFORT & STYLE
Swell has the look and feel of a boutique hotel retreat, but with the relaxed, social vibe you would find in a surf resort or retreat in Bali.
In designing our boutique hotel from scratch, our thought was to create the perfect retreat for solo travellers or sociable couples and friends to get together with other surfers.
At the heart of Swell is a big, airy, open communal area with sunken sofa/fire pit, pool table, games area, huge dining table and a bar. A ping pong table stands at the end of our massive swimming pool and deck.
And the location of Swell?
Right in the centre of Bingin; we are a genuinely short walk to the surf, beach and great restaurants.

Our boutique surf camp / resort accommodation is located in Bingin, on the Bukit Penisula, right in the centre of the best waves in Bali. We chose our location carefully: Swell is very deliberately placed so that you only have a short walk (250m) to the beach. Restaurants are all around us and Yoga, two gyms, a mini-mart, a spa, a French bakery, and even a laundry are all within a very short walk. There is no surf resort or surf hotel in Bali that is better located than Swell.
See the package pricing page for details on the different surf holiday packages we offer with Swell.
When we decide to do something, we do it well. We wanted to have the best surf instructor team in Bali so we found them and they have put together a package exclusively for our clients. That includes having smaller groups, a dedicated photographer/videographer to be able to carry out the all-important video analysis and surfers who can teach at all levels (including expert by the way). If you are looking for a bargain, that’s not our place, it’s not how we operate and it’s not worth contacting us. There are plenty of other places where you can stay and lots of independent surf instructors in Bali, along with other, cheaper surf camps.
We are the most centrally located hotel in Bingin, and lots of people come to Bingin for the world-class waves. However, Bingin is also a great destination for people who don’t surf: Several white sandy beaches are a short walk from us. Love healthy and tasty food? There are over a dozen quality restaurants in our area serving all different kinds of cuisine.
So yes, people that do not surf are also very welcome at our Bingin hotel.
The average age of Swell clients varies from week to week.
General speaking we cater to clients between 25 and 65 years old. Since we are not the cheapest surf hotel in Bali we tend not to get many 18-21 year olds who are on a super-tight budget. Swell is not a suitable place for children so the minimum age for a Swell Surf Holiday is 15.
Yes, Yes, Yes! Thats why our place is designed the way it is (it’s not an accident). Our communal area is deliberately set up to encourage our guests to speak to each other, get to know their fellow surfers and hang out. Don’t chose our place if you want to stay in your room all the time; it’s not a good choice. Our rooms are lovely and comfy, but there’s deliberately no TV or wifi in them to encourage everyone out into the social spaces.
At Swell we cater to surfers of all levels. From complete beginners who want to learn to surf, intermediate surfers who need surf coaching, or expert surfers who need guiding.
Swell is a luxury surf retreat experience, for clients that want to sleep & eat well and make the most of the surf conditions using the excellent knowledge of our surf guides on their Bali surfing holiday.
We started our Luxury Surf & Yoga Retreat in the Caribbean in 2009. Clients loved the concept of the luxury of a boutique hotel with the social aspects of a hostel. It’s ideal for people travelling alone but because of the facilities in our place, and its location, it’s also ideal for a group of good surfers to stay too.
We placed it in the best location in Bali; Bingin. It ticks all the boxes: Stunning beach – Awesome surf – restaurants (including Mexican and Frencha, a French bakery, just a few metres from us), bars, 2 fitness centres within a short walk, places that offer yoga classes, surf shops and lots of local charm.
Our surf instructor team include Blackie who is arguably the best surfer on the island. He and the rest of the surf team, have been surfing breaks like Uluwatu, (real) Padang Padang and Bingin along with many other lesser known surf breaks for years. Well-respected surfers like this can make sure you get your waves and can also give you advanced surf coaching techniques to take your surfing to the next level.
