“Wonderful week of surfing”

I had an absolutely fantastic week with MBS in Bali. Myself and a friend opted for the Soul Surf Basic and even though it was the ‘budget’ option, at no point did Sarah or the rest of the team make us feel like anything less than VIP. We stayed at a beautiful, super clean, private villa in Seminyak that felt like an oasis. Our breakfasts, as well as our two included dinners, were delicious. They arranged a relaxing and engaging tour for us on our day off. The surfing was so much fun. We were both beginners, but were both able to stand up on the board by the end of the first lesson and I was able to catch a green wave on my own by the end of the week. We got to try surfing at a variety of beaches, with different conditions. Surfing was a new challenge for me, but with Deduk’s help it was such a wonderful, positive experience. He’s patient, gentle and has a great sense of humour. After the week I felt so much more confident and comfortable in the water and on the board. Maud was such a delight to have, as our photographer and to help us feel comfortable both in and out of the water. Our yoga was such a great complement to surf and the instructor (I don’t want to spell her name incorrectly so I won’t even try) was also a surfer so she was able to commiserate with our sore muscles and she geared the classes to help with our surfing. She was so friendly and funny and as someone who practices yoga regularly, she was a great knowledgeable instructor. Everyone took such good care of us, I have never stayed anywhere with such attention to detail and amazing customer service. Sarah even helped us plan our itinerary for when we left MBS, with great suggestions for day trips, restaurants and activities – she even booked an activity for us the day before to save us the effort. The entire week was such a great experience, with genuinely passionate and caring people who do an amazing job. I absolutely recommend MBS and am already scheming of ways to come back for another week of surf, yoga and fun.

“Enjoyable and relaxing week”

I had the most amazing week in Bali with MBS – where do I begin?
I travelled alone to a “Back to Basics” retreat with a little bit of trepidation about what the experience would be like by myself. I need not have worried. From the start I was looked after in all aspects of the trip.
My original flight was cancelled and then my next flight delayed, so I ended up arriving at 3am in the morning! Sarah stayed in contact throughout the whole time and still arranged to have a driver ready to pick me up from the airport. I was so thankful.
The villa was amazing in Seminyak – close to everything, but nice and quiet. I had my own room and space and could also still socialise with the other guests. The other surf sisters on the retreat were great and it was a nice of mix of doing things together – daily surfing, yoga in the villa garden, spa treatments, dinners – and then also having some much needed “me time”.
The “Back to Basics” package did not include all meals so you could experience the local cuisine; however the best meal of the day was by far the amazing wholefood breakfast to fuel up before a surf. We were also treated to 2 balinese dinners cooked in the villa by a private chef. I was even more spoiled on the day that I celebrated my birthday.
On the surfing side, Deduk and Desu were the best coaches who really pushed me to get better at what I needed to focus on. After 5 days of surfing, I was confident and catching my own green waves!
I had such a wonderful time that I plan to visit again sometime in the future. Thankyou Sarah and all of the team for such a great experience!

“Relaxed from an amazing week”

It was an absolute pleasure to spend a week with the team at MBS Bali. If you’re thinking about doing a retreat in Bali and researching MBS Bali – Do it! It was an incredibly relaxing and memorable holiday. It totally exceeded my expectations and I felt incredibly cared for and well looked after. Sarah and Deduk are lovely genuine people who really enjoy what they do and sharing beautiful Bali with visitors. As such, they make wonderful hosts.
As a solo traveller I felt very safe and welcomed. At the retreat I met some fantastic like-minded woman who I really enjoyed surfing with. Unlike my fellow surf-sisters at the retreat; I wasn’t up on the board on day 1, but I did get up (in my own time) and felt that amazing buzz of surfing a wave.
Im now hankering for the NZ summer to arrive to get back out in the water and practice my ‘pop up’.
The accommodation was really comfortable and I’ve never eaten so well! Every meal was tasty and nourishing. I returned from my holiday in Bali feeling relaxed and buzzing from my amazing experience with Mind Body Soul Bali.

“Mother Daughter Magical Adventure of a Lifetime”

I wholeheartedly agree with all of the excellent reviews given previously. My week with MBS was magical and truly memorable. I went with my daughter who is an experienced surfer; I am pretty much a novice although I have surfed in the past. The instructors were absolutely fantastic and so much fun to hang with before and after surfing. I am amazed at how well I did, all due to the patience and skill of the instructors. The yoga sessions were in the evening and thus were relaxing and restorative. We surfed at a beautiful Canggu surf spot; even the drive there was through breathtaking rice paddies. The food was delicious- our chef, Wayan, cooked amazing breakfasts, lunches, and dinners daily, adjusting the meals to our individual preferences. The table setting gorgeous every night. The villa was spacious, bright, and clean. Sarah and Deduk, the hosts, took care of every detail. Sarah shared her wealth of knowledge of Balinese culture and life, something I could not have learned if we had stayed in a hotel. Deduk took incredible surf photos of us every morning, and even carefully packed up a large fragile item my daughter had purchased so we could check it at the airport. For our free day, Sarah arranged a snorkeling trip where we swam with Manta Rays, and drift snorkeled through the most beautiful coral reef teeming with life- I can’t even begin to describe how magical it was. I highly recommend you book an MBS retreat as soon as you can.

“Ultimate Bliss”

“Bali Bliss…..”

Do not think twice about booking this retreat. I have been to others in other countries but this experience was magical, life changing and exceeded all expectations. The host was warm and welcoming from the start and truly cares about each individual and their experience. The surf instruction and equipment was spectacular. I came home a better and more experienced surfer. The yoga was an amazing complement to the surfing. A great way to begin or end your day. The spa treatments, divine and plentiful. The food, delicious. Each meal was a culinary treat. The villa, beautiful, comfortable and sparkling clean. And finally, the culture day made the whole experience complete. To see the countryside and how the Balinese live outside of the city was inspiring. I will dream of this adventure for years to come and cannot wait to return to MBS Surf Bali.

Best week EVER – surfing and yoga fun with peaceful reflection

A magical week spent with MBS Surf Bali. From the warmest welcome by the team at the start I knew this was going to be a life changing retreat. Very high quality accommodation, such a beautiful villa – and our retreat leader really has thought of everything you may need.

It’s all about the little touches, from the complimentary surf lycra and customised water canister to the box of ‘everything you may need’ including insect repellent, sun screen and surf board wax..! Each day we were treated to world class food in a multitude of styles, and were given beautiful little gifts and cards with inspirational quotes – these mostly made me cry as they always seemed to be what I needed to hear!

Even if you are nervous about surfing it’s absolutely fine, the team are more than used to helping people who are complete beginners and are very sensitive to everyone’s needs. I felt like we were taken care of in a truly fantastic way, and much more than I was expecting. Our retreat leader and the team are so open, friendly and are genuinely there to help with any questions or issues you may have.

A life changing experience – MUST DO!

This was the most incredible vacation I’ve ever had which is truly saying alot because it’s one of only a handful that I’ve been on as a solo traveler.

I have never tried surfing before and I was able to stand up on day 1! Such an incredible sense of accomplishment thanks to Deduk and the Double D surf instructors. I was pretty apprehensive about the surfing part but it’s been on my bucket list for years and I couldn’t be more happy that I shared the experience with MBS Surf Bali and Double D. The guys at Double D were super helpful and attentive and most of all they made it incredibly fun! I can’t praise them enough for making my 5 day surfing experience more enjoyable.

As for the rest of the trip – I don’t think I could ever do the week justice in a write-up. It was nothing short of amazing, incredible and lovely. S is the best – so helpful and eager to make your experience the best it can possibly be. Nothing is too difficult of a request including reikki session bookings, tattoo artist recommendations and wine delivery   Also, S and Deduk are so candid and warm, incredibly easy to talk to and share experiences with. I truly felt at home in the villa.

The villa staff were equally as accomodating, ready to make you coffee and always serving us incredible meals. It was such a nice change from Hong Kong food to eat healthy yet delicious meals! I am now missing the meals just thinking about it!

Another aspect of the retreat that I absolutely loved was a sense of really feeling like you’re embracing the culture. You would never get this experience staying at a resort. You really get to know people who live in Bali and to me that was a real treat.

As for the other ladies on the trip – I feel so lucky to have met such amazing people. Everyone got along so well. I think it helps that the ladies that attend this trip all share similar specific interests – adventurous, outdoorsy and fun to name a few…..Our retreat leader was happy to make reservations for a few nights out for us and we all went out together and had a fantastic time!

Anyways, I could go on and on but don’t want to ruin all the surprises for the ladies that have yet to go. If you’re looking for the best girls vacation of your life then you cannot miss out on MBS Surf Bali. Thank you Retreat leader, Deduk and my fellow villa-mates for an incredible week…xoxo

What an OUTSTANDING holiday! Loved it ALL!

Thank you so much to the team at MBS Surf Bali for making the week better than I could have imagined. Retreat leader and Deduk ensured that each of us felt at home and nothing (truly nothing) was too much trouble for them. If you are thinking of doing a retreat in Bali, want to learn to surf, or simply want to have an amazing week…stop looking and please book with MBS Surf Bali. You won’t regret it!

Villa – The villa was gorgeous and each of the rooms amazing. My sister and I shared a king-size room with a beautiful outdoor shower (I especially loved all the little treats and positive words we received when our rooms were made up each day). The villa itself had a pool, deck area with a large relaxing day bed and reclining deck chairs, a grassed area perfect for our yoga sessions and a large kitchen, dining and relaxing area. It was also in an excellent location, simply a short walk to the main area of Seminyak.

Surfing – The surfing was my favourite part. The boys at Double D surf school were the best. I’ve done a few surf lessons before (I teach PE so have taken kids out many times), but none have compared to these guys. I went from barely catching waves in the white wash to actually being able to catch a wave in the green water on my own. The boys were so supportive and knowledgeable, and also took us to different beaches depending on our ability levels and the conditions on the day.

Food – Possibly equally my favourite part. The food provided at the villa was breathtaking (and every meal was a great photo opportunity). We had three course, healthy, delicious meals to look forward to each day. A large coconut to come back to straight after a morning surf was brilliant. Our retreat leader was also so helpful in booking us into a amazing restaurants so that we could go out together and enjoy some of the best food Bali has to offer.

Yoga & Spa Treatments – The yoga was fun, challenging and a great way to stretch out after all the surfing. It was catered to our ability levels, but also to how we were feeling on the day. The spa treatments were also excellent. We were able to pick anything we liked on the day. I had three varieties of massages which were terrific, but I know the other girls had facials, hair treatments and pedicures too.

Other – There were also some extra things that were a really beautiful touch:
– Chocolate Cooking Class (healthy chocolate of course)
– Learning about the Balinese culture and their offerings
– Balinese coffee….hmm, so good
– Transport to and from the villa
– Photos of our surfing experience
– Box of goodies including extra sunscreen, bug spray, lip balm (and anything else you needed)
– Love my rash vest, sarong, water bottle and bag
– Booking in Reiki sessions for us
– Making friends with fantastic people from all over the world
– Helping my sister find accommodation for the following week that she was staying

Thanks again guys!! I can’t wait to come back to Bali to catch up with you all! Airlie xxx

The best week

My week with MBS Surf Bali was more than I could have imagined. Our retreat leader and Deduk are very warm, kind and generous. S is the perfect host, and nothing is too much trouble, so you are left to simply enjoy your time.

Deduk and the surfing instructors at Double D are great. They make learning to surf such a fun experience. They are very encouraging and without it being stressful or worrying you are soon out there in the green water feeling great and having fun. The villa staff are wonderful, cooking us beautiful, delicious and healthy meals and catering to our needs. The yoga sessions are tailored to help you prepare for surfing and the instructor works with how you are feeling.

There are so many little thoughtful touches and gestures included in the week that make you feel special. It’s a full week – yoga, surfing, eating, relaxing by the pool, shopping, pampering – but nothing feels rushed. The villa is beautiful and you instantly feel at home. It’s nice to have two nights to eat out at fabulous restaurants that our retreat leader can recommend.

I took the deluxe package and the spa I visited was amazing, and the treatment so pampering. I came back floating. This trip was a real treat for me and the whole experience was a very special one that will stay with me. Our retreat leader and Deduk are happy to share as much about their lives and Bali as you’re interested to learn about. I really felt I experienced Balinese culture and gained an appreciation of how special this place is. I can’t end without mentioning the lovely company of the other five women on the retreat.

If you are thinking about a surfing, yoga retreat I would say do this one with MBS Surf Bali. I loved it and my friends tell me I returned ‘glowing’. Thank you so much.

The most AMAZING week of my life!

What better way to spend a week in a beautiful place like Seminyak than with a small group of lovely ladies in an amazing villa. The week was so cleverly and brilliantly organised! I’m one who loves structure and organisation and our retreat leader managed to pull this off brilliantly without it being “too structured” at the same time. We all felt so at home and comfortable in this lovely villa. I’ve never been lucky enough to stay anywhere that has such beautiful bedrooms, bathrooms, an outdoor kitchen and eating area, outdoor lounge and the pool.

The FOOD that was provided for us was out of this world. Every meal was amazing and always ready on time (sometimes we were late, oopsie). I’m a big foodie and I found everything everyday to be amazingly presented and very tasteful. Everyone involved at the villa takes a real care for you and really does everything they can to accommodate your needs.

Now for the SURFING, which would have to be one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. Deduk and the other boys taught me how to surf!! Ive had a few surfing lessons before but nothing like these ones, the boys really care for you and because you are in such a small group its a lot more focused on actually making sure you get up on that board. They also make you feel super comfortable out there which I think is the most important part. I can now surf by myself which was the aim of the week!!

I just want to say a massive thank you to the MBS team for the amazing week I got to have with my sister! It’s one we will never forget! Thank you

Everything about this experience was fantastic. The villa was incredible, the food was sensational (and did an amazing job of catering to my gluten and dairy free request!) and the people were amazing. I made far more progress than I expected with my surfing, and feel I grew so much through sharing experiences with everyone and seeing some of the people S recommended. I would definitely recommend this retreat to anyone, but especially those that need an escape. Thank you Deduk and the team for an awesome week!

Incredible week that I never wanted to end

My time at mbss was incredible. I didn’t really know what to expect as I’ve never been to a surf camp. I’ve surfed for most of my life but was in bali on my own so thought it would be a good way to get to know the island and the surf sport. Our retreat leader and Deduk were awesome. They welcomed us into their lives and made us part of it. From going out for dinner,drinks to showing us secret surf spots around the island and just being there to help us with anything at all.

The villa accommodation and staff were second to none. They were so beautiful not to mention the incredible food they prepared for us each day with so much love. Would definitely recommend mbss to anyone wanting to experience Bali, learn to surf, improve their surfing and meet some beautiful people.

Seriously wonderful retreat

I went on the retreat with two girlfriends in July this year and we LOVED it. We started every day with yoga at our beautiful villa, then gorged ourselves on an amazing breakfast (we’d earned it!). Each day was a bit different depending on the tides but at some point we would head out for a few hours of surfing with Double D. We were all pretty novice but they had us standing up on our first waves which was so fun. The surfing really is brilliant, and physically tiring – we all were fitter and stringer by the end of the holiday which was a bonus, and we didn’t have to count how many cocktails we were having etiher.

Our spare time was spent getting massages, treatments, shopping and more eating (and cocktails). Our retreat leader is incredible and organised everything for us – nothing was a problem for her, and she was amazingly flexible if we wanted to do anything different. She knew all the great places to eat and happily booked anything for us. She knows where to shop, drink and go for massages – she knows it all and is only too happy to arrange anything you want.

Our retreat leader and Deduk treated me like a personal guest and took wonderful care to make sure I got what I wanted out of *my* week in Seminyak. They created an environment where I bonded with the other girls in the retreat and also had time for myself to relax and reflect.

I loved the experience and all the people I met so much that I decided to stay for another week and surf with Double D and the new friends I made. I was learning to surf for the first time and with the personal instruction I made a lot of progress in my time there. I felt safe and could decide when I had had enough for the day or if I wanted to spend more time in the water on days where the waves were exceptional.

The private morning yoga session focused on the right things to get our minds and bodies ready for surfing and I loved our teacher. (I loved everyone She and Deduk work with.) I love visiting places where I have a friend to help me get the most out of my time there and have a local experience. She and Deduk provide this for their guests and I had adventures I never would have created on my own. These are the stories I tell my friends.

Best retreat ever!

Ich verbringe jeweils mindestens vier Monate im Jahr in Indonesien & gehe oft surfen. Da ich erst seit drei Jahren surfe, wollte ich unbedingt wieder einmal einen Surfguide buchen. Die Möglichkeit von Mind Body Soul Surf Bali Retreat mit einem all-in-one Erlebnis (Surfguide, Yoga, Kulturtrips, Spa, Essen usw.) hat mich sehr angesprochen. Es gibt nichts schöneres als nach 90 Minuten Yoga am morgen früh in die Wellen zu steigen & den Tag mit einem Spa treatment & anschliessendem sunset drink ausklingen zu lassen. Die Woche hat mir wahnsinnig gut gefallen & ich konnte wunderschöne Begegnungen mit nach Hause nehmen. Absolut empfehlenswert für alle die ihre Seele einfach mal baumeln lassen wollen & dennoch sportlich gefordert werden möchten. Grosses Dankeschön an S & Deduk, die super geniale double d Surfschool & Emma (best yoga teacher ever).
