Anara Surf Camp

West Bali


This surf camp and modern guesthouse is on the shores of Pantai Medewi, with the sea on one side and rice paddies on the other. There are different levels of accommodation, but all are newly constructed with attractive hardwoods, comfy four-poster beds and mosquito nets. A couple of bungalows near the water offer large glass windows and open-air bathrooms.

Surfboard rental costs just 70,000Rp per day, and instruction is also available. Be mindful of rip tides, as they're common in the stretch of ocean in front of the surf camp.
