Our Surf & Stay packages at Seaside Tribe are designed for adults and families with children aged 8 and above.Our space is not ideally suited for younger children (due to a few unsafe spots, no baby equipment, and our surf-focused setup), but we’re happy to discuss individual cases.

Each room is designed for 2 persons. Our Drifter Suite room can additionally accommodate one child (approx. 8–12 years) on a small sofa bed (80 x 175 cm). If you plan to travel with a child, please contact us before booking to make sure the setup fits your needs.

Most often we surf at Kedungu Beach. Waves at our home break are mostly gentle and playful — perfect for beginners and intermediates — but there are also a few faster, trickier sections nearby or on bigger swell days for the more advanced surfers. Most of the spots we surf are semi-reef breaks, meaning a mix of rocky bottom and sandy areas.

Our beginner surf lessons take place in a shallow inlet close to shore, well protected from stronger waves and currents. The only real requirements: you should be able to swim and feel comfortable holding your breath underwater for a few seconds.

We surf real waves — and that means real ocean vibes, too. While we always keep it as safe as possible with small groups, experienced guides, and the right conditions for your level, surfing is still an adventure sport. Minor (or sometimes bigger) bumps, cuts, or reef kisses can happen from time to time — it’s all part of learning in the ocean. In very rare cases, serious injury can occur. Please see our Terms & Conditions for the full risk disclosure.

We’ll brief you on safety before paddling out, and you’ll sign a short Surf Waiver & Safety Agreement before your first session. Having valid travel & health insurance that covers surfing is mandatory if you join our Surf & Stay experience.

Beginner: This is the beginner level where we give you step by step tutorials on both the theory and practice of surfing. Surfing sessions are first focused on catching and riding easy white waves with video analysis at the Villa afterward.

Intermediate: Intermediate level is for guests who have mastered the basics but wish to progress to deeper swells. We guide you to Kedungu’s excellent intermediate breaks and provide tailored advice and guidance to help you progress.

The water temperature in Bali is tropical all year round, so perfect for bikinis and boardshorts! During the dry season which is also the wind season (July-September) you might want to go with a light wetsuite if you're freezing easily.

We provide everything necessary for surfing, including surf boards and long-sleeved rash guards. All you need to bring are beach shorts or bikinis and a beach towel. We do also advise either a high SPF sun cream or a good quality zinc oxide sunscreen. Surfboard rental is included during lesson times only.

We believe it’s most fun to surf in a group and learn from each other, although to improve in a quick and efficient way, we have a 2:1 student to teacher ratio. However, if you are keen on improving your abilities in a private setting, we do offer 1:1 surf lesson for an additional fee, please contact us for price and availability. Also, for children under 12 years we do recommend our private surf sessions.

Surfing is always linked to nature, and sometimes she throws us a curveball. If the conditions in Kedungu don’t suit your level, we’ll look for other spots that fit better — as long as it’s safe and worth the trip. On rare days when heavy storms or a totally flat ocean make surfing impossible, we can’t refund the session, but we’ll keep the stoke alive: join our kitchen crew for a little cooking session, grab a smoothie and chat, or settle in for movie time with some classic surf films. Even stormy days can turn into good memories!

We welcome mostly adults, but families with kids aged 8 and over are also very welcome. Think of Seaside Tribe more as a cozy guesthouse than a rowdy surf camp — you’ll usually meet like-minded travelers between 25 and 45 years old, plus the occasional younger or older surf soul.

As long as you enjoy a familiar, personal vibe and don’t mind our little BBQ nights where a few beers, arrak attacks or cocktails make the round every now and then, you’ll fit right in.

Definitely. Many guests arrive solo and end up leaving with new surf buddies and shared dinner plans. Between small-group surf sessions and communal meals, it’s usually harder to stay solo than to make friends here.

It’s defenetly possible as many of our guests did and hardly ever complained about the internet connection. But we want to mention that we have only very small desks in the rooms which are not made for proper working also our common spaces are maybe a bit too lively, so defenetly not to compare with a good work space. There are a few cafes in the area where people work from or some more or less professional co-working spaces. In Canggu (30 minutes drive away) you will defentliy find a proper co-working space if needed. Best is also always to have a back up data package where you can hotspot from in case internet shouldn’t work properly.

Yes, we supply towels for your room and towels for the swimming pool, but please bring your own beach towel.

There is only a few (but very nice) cafés and restaurants in the area and an newly opened little surf shop. If you want to go for shopping, spas, bar-hopping and loads of options of restaurants, cafés and eateries you need to do a short trip to Canggu (it’s a 20-30 minutes ride by car or motorbike from Kedungu).

We aim to provide you with food that is healthy, fresh and delicious. Our food selection is sourced almost entirely locally and based on seasonal availability. Daily breakfast / brunch and four dinners a week (Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Friday) are included in the Surf & Stay package, which feature a mix of Balinese/Indonesian specialties and international dishes prepared in our in-house kitchen. If you choose to have further drinks, snacks or lunch at Seaside Tribe, our menu provides a small array of food and beverage options.

Bring along good sun cream or other sun protection for surfing (we do provide long sleeve rush shirts) and your (re-)fillable water bottle. To check if there are any RefillStations close by download this App: www.refillmybottle.com/app

Yes sure we can arrange a pick-up from the airport or any other place on Bali for an extra charge. If you have a booking with us, we will send you a message one week before arrival to see if you would like to arrange a pick-up. If you arrivae later than 20:00 in the evening we recommend to use our airport pick-up service. Otherwise you can also arrive to our place ordering one of the online taxis here in Bali (book them via the app, there is Go-Jek, Grab or BlueBird Taxi available).
