Surf Goddess Retreats is a world-first: a luxury surf retreat designed exclusively for women, established in Seminyak in 2003 by founder Chelsea Ross. Over two decades, the retreat has introduced thousands of women to surfing through a coaching program built around the unique physical strengths and learning styles of women, a refreshingly different approach that has made Surf Goddess one of the most respected surf operations in Bali.
The all-inclusive retreat package combines daily surf coaching with unlimited spa treatments, morning yoga, and gourmet meals. Lessons are tailored to each guest's level, from absolute beginners to intermediate surfers ready to tackle reef breaks, with the school maintaining an exceptional four-to-one team-to-guest ratio that ensures highly personalised instruction throughout.
The Surf Goddess Sanctuary is located on a private lane in the heart of Seminyak, offering the tranquillity of a boutique villa oasis while being within walking distance of the area's best restaurants, shops, and beach clubs. It's a genuinely unique blend of surf holiday and luxury retreat, the original, and still the best, for women who want to learn to surf without compromising on the quality of their overall experience.
