I spent a wonderful four weeks at Pelan Pelan in June/July 2018. Emma and Putu set the tone: friendly and warm. Everything else followed from there. Staff took good care of us. Surf instructors were amazing. Yoga and meditation instructors were lovely. The setting in the rice fields was serene. The other guests were really great. I can’t say enough good things about this place. It’s easy to see why people love this place and want to return.

One final thing: I thought I needed to do something fun (surf and yoga) after a stressful year. What I realized while at Pelan is that I needed to be surrounded by really good people. In addition to enjoying great activities, I got a little soul salvation from hanging out with the folks here.

The retreat is beautiful and very well maintained. Loved the warmth and friendliness of the staff and the relaxed vibes which made it easy to get to know other guests at the retreat.

The surf instructors are very experienced and made us feel safe in the water at all times. As a beginnner, I couldn’t have chosen a better place to learn surfing!

Thank you Pelan Pelan team for the wonderful stay!

I was initially booked to stay for 7 days at Pelan Pelan at the end of my holiday in Bali, and ended up extending my stay for 5 more days because I loved it so much.
Emma & Putu and the whole of the Pelan Pelan crew are the most welcoming & lovely hosts - from the moment I arrived, I was made to feel welcomed and part of the big Pelan family.
The area is so beautiful & quiet - away from the main hustle and bustle of Canggu, but with the bikes its still super easy to access if you want to.
Lovely chilled out vibes at the villa...I really enjoyed getting to meet other like minded travellers staying there. Delicious food & really comfortable and clean rooms - you are totally looked after in every possible way.
Surfing was my highlight - I absolutely loved being able to surf every day. We were taken to some great spots far from all the crowds - at times it was just the Pelan family in the water which was so fun. I felt so safe in the water the whole time - the instructors have so much experience and knowledge & are really good at passing it on, I have learnt so much about surfing and the ocean during my time here. I cant wait to come back & get back out in the water!
