Surfing the net I stumbled across the Bali Surf Goddess Retreat website and instantly I knew I needed to book in, Surfing + Yoga + Spa
= My Perfect Holiday! The stunning
colonial-esque villa and tropical weather were an added bonus!
The Surf Goddess Sanctuary is located in the heart of hip
and happening Seminyak. Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by the retreat
host, Joyce, after a chat and a drink, in the very stylish and cosy outdoor
living area, we were shown to our room, I was sharing with a friend, we were
overwhelmed by the attention to detail.
Our room was scented by bunches of tuberose, there was a welcome gift
bag containing surf rash, sarong and a few other Bali essentials. The room had a large living room meticulously
furnished in what I would describe as a traditional but feminie Balinese style.
The Surf Goddess team know how to put on a spread. Meals were locally sourced, organic and
utterly delicious.
The 7 day retreat included five mornings of yoga, following
an afternoon surf lesson (everyone in our group was up on the board by the end
of the first lesson); a day of pampering at a nearby day spa, as well as an
additional 5 hours of pampering at the villa, choices including hot stone
massage, traditional Balinese massage, mani/pedis, to name a few; and lastly an
activity day with a number of options such as white water rafting, traditional
Indonesian cooking class, paddle boarding.
By the end of the 7 days I was in a state of pure bliss!
The villa was located in the heart of Seminyak, an exciting
beach town with new restaurants, bars and shops popping up before your
eyes. Each with it’s own unique design and theme.
