Brown Sugar Surf Camp Medewi

Brown Sugar Surf Camp is a small surf camp and surf school in Medewi on Bali's quiet west coast, about two hours' drive from the airport. Its bungalows sit right by the beach, with a pool and a garden, and the camp is surrounded by rice fields rather than bars and traffic.

Surf courses are aimed at beginners and intermediate surfers. Medewi's long left-hand point break peels slowly over rocks and suits progressing surfers and longboarders, while nearby beach breaks are used for first lessons, with the coaches choosing the spot to suit the swell, tide and each student's level.

Most guests book a week-long surf holiday combining accommodation and lessons, with packages from around USD 459 per week. The camp suits surfers who want a calm base and uncrowded waves away from Bali's busy south, and the team can arrange airport transfers on request.
