Heading to Ubud to fulfill your Eat, Pray, Love odyssey? Well believe us, staying in a hotel (however fabulous) just won’t do. You need a chic Bali villa set in electric green rice fields and dramatic river gorges of the Ayung River – far, far away from the tourist track.
We were in Ubud recently and *a popular discount hotel website* mucked up our booking. So we took to AirBnB.com for a last-minute find. The villas we stumbled upon were so spectacular that we simply had to show you.
Don’t know about AirBnB? It’s really simple. If you have a fabulous house (anywhere in the world) that you don’t use very often (lucky you!), you can list it on AirBnB. Travellers then book rooms in an awesome house, or an entire estate, just like a hotel. You’ll be blown away at what you can find. There’s even the odd futuristic caravan and fairytale treehouse to keep you entertained.
Check out these 7 heavenly AirBnB villas in Ubud that have us swooning.

Blessed with 365 days of swell, damn good weather and pristine warm water temps, the island of the Gods is a fave surf destination for travellers.
With 60 plus surf spots scattered across the island, surfers and holidaymakers are spoilt for choice. But before you throw on some board shorts and hit Kuta’s gnarly waves with a longboard in tow, check out our newbies guide to surfing in Bali. It will see you “shredding” beyond the shoreline in no time…
Bali surf seasons
Peak Season
The peak surf season for Bali is from April to October where solid swells hit the reefs around Uluwatu, Nusa Dua and Kuta.
Wet Season
The wet season is from November until March, a time when the surf isn’t quite as large and intimidating, but it’s consistent. Waves are roughly 3 – 5 feet in height, day after day.
Opposing winds offer good conditions, particularly in the clear waters and snoozy spots of Nusa Dua and Sanur – just some of the prized surf locations during the wet season.
A short history of Bali’s golden years of surf…
Way back in 1936, Californian surfer Bob Koke moved from the shores of Hawaii and set up home in Bali, opening the Bali Hotel on Kuta Beach with his wife Louise.
Kuta was an empty coast back then, but with Bob’s arrival it became the island’s first ‘surfer’s beach’.
Surfing didn’t immediately catch on with the locals and tourist folk alike, so fortunately for Bob he had the entire Bukit all to himself.
By the 1960s and 70s, intrepid surfers like Kim Bradley, Jerry Lopez (aka Mr. Pipeline) and Rory Russell came across the Bukit Peninsula, and started trickling into the island for a taste of this surfing sanctuary.
Lopez and Russell were credited for exposing and validating Indonesia and prime spots like Bali as a comprehensive surf destination with immense potential.
Gerry Lopez “Mr Pipeline” in action
Surf, sun, sea, serenity: the ultimate mecca for surfers
Bali has been the ultimate mecca for surfers since the 60s and 70s, from Uluwatu to Bukit and Old Man’s Canguu, the combination of surf, sun, sea and serenity attracts hordes of surfers from learners to professionals and is part of the top ten reasons of Bali’s attraction and mystique.
Bali’s tourism industry owes a lot to the sport, after all it was the surf at Kuta Beach that first attracted the Aussies and Kiwi’s back in the golden years.
Classic surf movies shot in Bali
Cult surf movies followed spreading the gospel of surf in faraway lands, as surf culture went on the move to find the best waves, leaving viewers with a sense of awe and an itch for discovery…
Spreading the gospel of surf in faraway lands, as surf culture went on the move to find the best waves.
Classic gems such as Morning of the Earth features Steve Cooney and Rusty Miller riding perfect peaks in Bali as well as Australia’s north-east coast and Hawaii, ultimately portraying surfers living in spiritual harmony with nature and in search for the perfect wave.
The crown jewel of surf movies, Bruce Brown’s The Endless Summer, adored by critics and surfers alike, shows two West Coast surfers travelling the world in search of amazing waves.
Brown’s film masterfully captures surfing as a fun-loving, sociable, sunny sport, and the production value is like a well-made home video. The Endless Summer II highlights the popularity of the iconic past-time and how far the love of the sport has spread with footage of surf sessions from Java and Bali to South Africa, Costa Rica, France, and even as far as Alaska.
Indonesia’s female surfer Yasnyiar “Bonne” Gea stars in NIAS Point of Change, a recently released doco that focuses on the phenomenal Indo surfer.
Bonne Gea was the first female surfer in Nīas and pursued her passion of surfing. Despite all the odds, she went on to become five times Indonesia’s Women’s Surfing Champion. A true inspiration and local hero!
Best Bali surf spots for newbies…
There are many famed surf spots around the island, however some are often dominated by territorial pros, riding and fighting for the best waves.
The following beaches are in arms reach of major surf schools and sit conveniently within the main tourist hubs.
Kuta Beach
This sandy beach stretch has fun and easy waves for the virgin surfer and novice to intermediate rider, with small swells and a variety of surf schools lining the beach. The waves are consistent, measuring at an average of one to three feet. However, the currents are sure to increase in the late afternoon.
Legian Beach
Known as the sister resort to Kuta Beach. The waves come in a steady variety (similar to Kuta) with a sandy break averaging one to three feet waves, with swells increasing in the late afternoon.
There are also notable surf schools found in Legian, such as the Rip Curl School of Surf and the Surf Academy at the Legian Beach Hotel, accredited by the Australian Academy of Surfing Instructors. The academy also offers fantastic wave-riding courses in the front of its garden pool.
Seminyak Beach
Just north of Legian Beach, Seminyak offers a great deal of swell often double the size of Kuta Beach. The ideal rideable waves offer plenty of lefts and rights as well as short lengths, great for surf virgins and kiddie riders.
Right on the borders of Legian, Dhyana Pura has some decent waves level to Kuta, and is way less crowded with an array of surf schools and camps running across the coast.
Batu Bolong Beach (Echo Beach) and Canguu
Pantai Batu Bolong, as named by the locals, is a beautiful sandy beach stretch from Seminyak boasting amazing views of the Indian Ocean.
The panoramic view of the sunset is simply breathtaking and a fave site for sunset surfs.
Nicknamed ‘Echo Beach‘ by the expat surfers, the waves cater to all types, from learners to the pros. There’s a consistent break and flat rock bed with waves under six feet, but learners should take caution when heading out as there are no lifeguards patrolling the coast.
Even if you’re still learning the art of surfing…take it up notch. Go ahead and impress your surf instructor for the next surf sesh and get your extra dose of the chillest BIGGER wave spots in Bali, but remember to always stay safe and know your limits!
Back to Surf School, with the basics…
Surf schools are a great way to learn how to surf in a short period of time while learning the techniques from scratch, picking up important tips, getting to know surf etiquette and gaining knowledge of the sport. Lessons are taught by fully trained and certified surf teachers in controlled, safe ocean environments. They will guide you through the waves and teach you the best ways to stand up on a surfboard.
A great surf school in Bali can teach you to take off on the first wave, usually in eight one-hour surf lessons. But it takes perseverance, practise and strength from you to make it happen!
In reality, learning how to surf is possible in say one or two months. Before you commence a class it’s important to note the coach to student ratio.
Each class with one surf instructor shouldn’t have more than eight surfers. Surf schools that do not respect the 1/8 ratio rule are violating the official security procedures.
Throughout the course, beginners will learn the primary skills of surfing such as:
Paddling through the break and onto waves
Taking off on a wave
Trimming across the face of a wave
Turning and cutting back forehand and backhand.
Surf teachers should be able to get a novice surfer to a surfing level in which the have the ability to do carving turns and cope with re-entries.

Jimbaran’s waves are great for the newbie surfers, too, and is fast becoming a must-see part of the island to explore.
The crystal blue waters beckon virgin surfers, with an array of surf schools on offer such as the Rip Curl School of Surf and Balangan Wave Surf School, to assist in conquering that first mighty wave.
Rip Curl School of Surf offers surf schools in Legian, Sanur, Kuta and Jimbaran. They cater for kiddies, absolute beginners, as well as the advanced rider.
The International Surfing Association (ISA) is the world governing body for surfing. The official ISA certified surf schools must renew their registrations every year. Read the full list of Obligations for a Registered Surf School.
It’s important to review the core guidelines of what surf schools must provide at their facilities:
Soft-cored surfboards for beginners
Wetsuits
Safety helmets (on request)
Water resistant sunscreen
Comprehensive first aid kit
Uniformly coloured rash vests for participants
Area flags or markers (unless prohibited by local authorities)
Whistle
Rescue board
Mobile phone
Surfboard hire and price guide in local currency (IDR)
For all your surf renting needs, there’s a large selection of surf rental shops in Bali, particularly in the Kuta beach area.
The chart below is a general guide on the price for specific board rentals and an estimation of costs for the duration of hire. Most surf shops offer shortboards, longboards and mini-mals to hire, as well as wetsuits, a range of surf gear and UV protection surf shirts.
Board Rentals (price estimates from board rentals in the Bali area in IDR – Indonesian Rupiah)
A beginner’s surfboard is quite affordable and can be purchased for roughly $250 AUD. The soft / foam surfboard models are longer, wider and heavier, so beginners can easily take off on their initial waves. Beginner boards are made out of expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam which adds durability. This allows for higher buoyancy levels in order for beginners to easily stand-up while training. Yee-ha!
Weight and height – important surfboard variables…
Weight and height are the initial variables to have in mind when purchasing your first board. Floatation demands volume and a good learner surfboard has high buoyancy.
Surf novices should buy soft top surfboards that will help them catch as many waves as possible in the early white water days. You will paddle much faster and will rapidly pop up on a stable board, despite it being bigger and heavier than your traditional shortboard.
Quality foam surfboards can last a long time. In size, they range from 6′ to 8′ feet. An average adult should be able to get started on an 8′ foot, while a child can learn with a 6′ foot.
Remember: the bigger the board, the faster you’ll be riding the waves!
Surfboard categories (primary styles to rent or buy)
What size? What shape? What style? A shortboard, a funboard or a longboard? Agh!
Most importantly, you have to choose a board that suits your weight and level of experience.
To select a board to rent or even buy whilst in Bali, we’ve provided a simple guide below indicating four surf board categories and their main features. Each has its own benefits for different styles of surfing and experience levels. There’s also a surfboard size to weight chart for beginners on a shortboard, malibu / funboard and longboard.
You will notice that the surfboard market has many names for specific types of boards such as shortboards, fishes, funboards, mini-mal, hybrids, long, mal, guns and paddleboards. In an attempt to strip it down to the surfboard basics, we’ve divided them into 4 categories, listing their characteristics and specific features:
Shortboard
Shortboards are made for the pretty good to expert surfer and are the most common style for the professionals.
Designed to maximise speed and manoeuvrability.
Size: 5’5” to 6’4” long | 16” to 19 wide

6′ 4″ – 6′ 8″
6′ 6″ – 6′ 10″
6′ 10″ – 7′ 4″
+ 7′ 4″
Malibu / Funboard
Mostly designed for the less-experienced surfer to have the turning ability of a shortboard and the paddling ease of a longboard.
Size: 6’6 to 8′ long | 20′ to 22′ wide
Malibu / Funboard – Size chart for beginners
Your weight
45 – 63 kg

+ 7′ 8″
Longboard
Longboards float better than a shortboard.
They feature greater strength and a rounder nose, making it hard to manoeuvre but easy to paddle with and catch waves. Perfect for the beginner!
Size: 8′ to 10′ feet long.
Beginners should use a 9′ or 10′ foot board in foam. Once you master the art of surfing you can sell it and get a fibre glass version.

9′ 4” – 9′ 6”
9′ 6” – 9′ 8”

+ 10’0
Hybrid
Hybrids can fit most kind of waves or surfers, combining elements from other styles.
Particularly targeted at experienced surfers who want a performance board which is heavier or a wider build, or even beginners who want a comfortable surfboard to paddle out on.
Size: 6′ feet long or even longer.
In short…
Shortboards are – fast, short and easy to turn but require a level of expertise to ride on. They are way more difficult to catch a wave with and require a lot of balance from the rider.
Malibu’s / funboards are a cross between a longboard and shortboard. They are a lot easier to turn than a longboard and much more buoyant, making it easier to catch a wave.
Longboards range from +8 feet long and will float pretty much anyone. They are slow and not the easiest to manoeuvre, but will ensure better paddling and improve your chances of catching a wave!
Those damn dings…and how to avoid them on a Bali surf vacay
Surfing with a ding in your board can shorten its lifespan remarkably. Unfortunately, if you don’t dry it out completely once the foam meets water, the board will start to de-laminate.
If you don’t want a damn ding ruining all the fun on your Bali surfing vaycay, invest in a mini ding repair kit before you venture across to Bali or purchase a kit in one of the surf stores on the island.
Play Ding Doctor!
There are several surfboard repair kits available on the market. So if you want to play Ding Doctor, reputable brands such as Solarez Pro Travel Kit, Dura Rez, by Phix Doctor and The Ding All Standard Repair Kit will do the trick.
Repair kits such as Solarez won’t discolour your board and best of all can be completed in 10 minutes.
To get the repair started, sand the damaged area thoroughly so that the solution can form a strong bond to your board. It’s advised that you apply it in the shade. Then place the board out in the sun for 5 minutes or so. This product will start to cure in less than a minute.
It’s strongly advised to let the foam dry out before you go ahead and make a permanent repair to your surfboard.
But BAD dings should be left to a professional
Let’s say your board gets knocked around on the plane before you even hit the water or you crack it during an epic wipeout, the best think to do is always have a surfboard repair kit handy or leave it to the professionals. We suggest you hit up Bali’s best ding repair doctors – the knowledgeable craftsmen at Naruki Surf Shop in Kuta.
They are known as the ding repair specialists and come highly recommended to mend all your board injuries. The local crew are masters in fixing surfboard damages and have become an institution with surfers on the island.
They also offer an impressive selection of second hand boards as well as expert advice, so rest assured you’ll be in good hands with these guys and your surfboard will thank you for it.
