Choosing the perfect surf camp for an epic surf holiday can be a tough decision, since not every surf camp offers the full package. Kima Surf has built an excellent reputation over the last 25 years, offering unforgettable surf experiences in Bali and Sri Lanka. What makes Kima stand out is that we do not just teach you how to surf, we create a lifestyle around it! From daily guided surf sessions to cultural adventures, yoga and social activities, Kima is for those looking for the full experience. Our Kima package includes 2 guided surf sessions daily, video analysis, surf theory classes and pool sessions 3x/ week, daily yoga classes, a daily three course breakfast, BBQ dinners and daily social activities… It simply cannot get better than this!
Like we said, Kima isn’t only about surfing, it is also about creating unforgettable memories with the people around you. When you’re not surfing you can join our social activities in or around camp to meet like-minded people and make friends for life. We organise social activities three times a day, seven days a week, so there is always something to do around camp. Join our meets and greets to get to know fellow guests, our epic party nights with live DJs, create DIYs to make some souvenirs to take home to family and friends, BBQ nights where everyone gets together around camp to listen to live music and have amazing local food or nights out in our Canggu and Seminyak locations.
Kima Surf offers two types of surf programs. The first is our 5-day learn to surf course, which teaches you the basics of surfing, enabling you to build a strong foundation for your surfing journey. Learn a new skill every day with our hands-on surf guiding. The second type is our 1-6 star surf levels, where you will join two guided sessions a day depending on your skill level. Ranging from one-star whitewash waves to six-star barrelling waves, there is a level for everyone. After your surf session, your surf guide will always give you feedback on how the session went and on how you can improve for your next session. Back at camp, you can improve your surf even more by joining one of our surf theory sessions or by reviewing your surfing in a video analysis session.
Surfing is only a part of the adventure with Kima Surf. If you’d like to experience more of the culture in Bali and do some sightseeing, we organise a range of trips for you. You can explore many places further north of Bali where you can see rice terraces, volcanoes, temples and experience Bali’s natural beauty. Choose from eight different cultural trips, including trips to Ubud, Tanah Lot Temple, waterfalls, Northwest or Northeast Bali and if you are feeling more adventurous, join our funday trip or hike up Mount Batur, an active volcano.
Kima has a lot to offer around camp for when you are finished surfing. Enjoy a massage by one of our masseuses in camp to relax your muscles after a long day of surfing. Join our yoga classes happening twice a day, six days a week, included in your Kima package. Our camps also include ice baths a few days per week, perfect to ease your muscles and aid recovery. Lastly, learn how to surf skate or make use of our camp gym and use this to improve your surfing skills outside of the water.
Kima Surf operates in four different locations, two in Sri Lanka and two in Bali. Each camp has its unique vibe that creates a different experience for our guests. Join us in Canggu, our biggest camp with a more surf, yoga and fitness resort vibe. This camp has everything you could think of including a surf skate ramp, an ice bath, a 15m high climbing wall, a gym with a seaview and a diving board into one of three pools in camp. If you’re looking for a more typical surf camp vibe with an authentic Balinese style, join us in Seminyak.
Kima Surf ensures guests have the perfect place to relax and that’s why our camps have a variety of rooms to suit every person’s needs. Choose from dorms, to deluxe rooms and even private villas on camp!
Our camps are also located conveniently close to the beach and to town centres. Our camps are only a short walk to local markets, convenience stores, the beach and restaurants, so you feel right in the hub of all the action.
Included in your stay is a three-course breakfast to fuel your surf sessions for the day. Our restaurant is open throughout the day, so when you come back from surfing you can order lunch and dinner at camp. The menu offers a variety of food suited to everyone, including vegetarian/vegan options as well as a choice between Western or Local dishes. We also host BBQ and family dinner nights, with live music and entertainment from our lovely staff, which is definitely the highlight of the week!
No matter which Kima Surf Camp you stay at, you can be assured that you will receive the same high-quality experience. From surf guiding to social activities, we ensure a high standard is kept for our guests across all locations, so you know exactly what to expect wherever you go.
