The Original Women’s Surf Retreat
Over 2 Decades of Women-Only Surfing Retreats
Established in 2003, Surf Goddess was the world’s first ‘surf retreat’ for women who want to go on a ‘surf camp’, but with the inclusions of daily yoga, spa treatments and wellness workshops found on a luxury retreat vacation. The Surf Goddess coaching program was inspired by our founder, Chelsea Ross, who was taught surfing by a woman, and realized that women learn surfing differently than men and that we needed our own approach for introducing women to surfing…at any age or fitness level.
From there, we developed a surf retreat program, that holistically addresses a woman’s unique physical strengths and challenges, our relationship with the ocean and our goals and intentions of why we want to surf.

Our mission is still the same today and it’s not just about teaching women how to surf on their retreat, but to help create a generation of women wave-riders who will share the soul of surfing around the world.
We have introduced thousands of women to surfing. If you have never surfed before, you will surprise yourself by standing up on the board by the end of your first lesson! We also respect that every woman is on her own journey and our women’s surfing program allows you to progress comfortably at your own pace throughout the week.

- Wellness – Royal Balinese Beauty Ritual
Inspired by the beauty rituals long embraced by Balinese royal women, this indulgent ritual reflects the traditions performed before important life events such as weddings, temple ceremonies, and royal celebrations. In Balinese culture, beauty rituals were not simply about appearance, but honouring the body as the temple for the soul.
The Royal Balinese Beauty Ritual recreates this timeless practice as a flowing journey of care, designed to renew both body and spirit.
Rose Petal and Aromatherapy Foot Soak
The ritual begins with a warm rose petal and aromatherapy foot soak, a symbolic and grounding welcome. In Balinese tradition, cleansing the feet marks the transition from the outer world into a sacred, restorative space. Fragrant petals and warm water calm the nervous system and invite the body to slow down.Royal Balinese Massage with Acupressure Facial Massage
The body is then treated to a traditional Royal Balinese massage, using flowing, rhythmic techniques passed down through generations. This massage releases tension, improves circulation, and restores balance. A nurturing facial massage follows, incorporating traditional acupressure points to encourage lymphatic flow, soften facial tension, and promote a rested, luminous appearance.Royal Mandi Lulur Body Scrub
At the heart of the ritual lies the Royal Mandi Lulur. Originating in the royal courts of Indonesia, this treatment was historically performed in the days before weddings and important ceremonies. Finely ground rice powder, white turmeric root, sandalwood, and fragrant tropical botanicals are used to gently exfoliate the skin. The rarer white turmeric root was valued for its purifying and brightening qualities, while sandalwood was used to cool and perfume the skin.Milk and Rose Bath Ritual
Following the lulur, the body is immersed in a warm milk bath infused with rose petals. This step traditionally followed exfoliation to soothe, nourish, and soften the skin, sealing in moisture and restoring suppleness.Floating Lunch
As with any royal indulgence, the ritual concludes with a luxurious floating lunch enjoyed at the pool. This final moment of nourishment reflects the Balinese understanding that beauty and wellbeing are sustained not only through treatments, but through rest and pleasure.

FAQs: Your Surfing Retreat Experience in Seminyak
What level of surfing experience is required?
Do I need to be able to swim to join a surf retreat?
Yes — you must know how to swim to safely participate in Surf Goddess Retreats. Surfing takes place in the open ocean, where conditions are constantly changing. Even though we choose gentle, beginner-friendly waves whenever possible, the sea is dynamic, and you will spend time paddling, floating, and being moved by waves.
Basic swimming ability is essential for your safety and comfort. You don’t need to be an advanced swimmer, but you should be able to tread water, swim distances unaided, and feel confident in the ocean.
If you’re not yet a competent swimmer, we recommend completing a swimming or ocean-confidence course before joining so that you can fully enjoy your experience.
Do I need to bring my own board on a surf retreat?
No, you don’t need to bring your own board. At Surf Goddess Retreats, we provide a full range of surfboards suited for every level—from beginner-friendly soft tops to epoxy and performance longboards for more experienced surfers.
Your instructors will help you select the board that best matches your skill level, comfort, and the day’s wave conditions. All boards, leashes, and rash guards are included in your retreat package, so you can travel light and focus on enjoying your surf experience.
Of course, if you’re an experienced surfer and prefer your own board, you’re welcome to bring it along. Just let us know before arrival so we can help with transport and storage arrangements.
What kind of surfboards are used at Surf Goddess Retreats?
At Surf Goddess Retreats, we provide a full range of surfboards to suit every level — from complete beginners to experienced surfers.
For beginners, lessons start on large soft-top surfboards, which offer extra flotation and stability for easy paddling and safe, confidence-building learning. As your skills progress, you’ll have the option to move onto epoxy or glass boards, ranging from fun shortboards to performance longboards.
Our experienced instructors will help you choose the right board for your ability, wave conditions, and comfort level, so you can enjoy the best possible surf experience at our women’s surf retreats.
How many students are in a surf lesson?
At Surf Goddess Retreats, surf lessons / guiding are kept intentionally small so every guest receives personal attention in the water. Our typical instructor-to-student ratio is one surf coach for every one to three guests, depending on surf conditions and experience levels.
This boutique approach allows our highly experienced instructors—many of whom have been guiding and teaching Surf Goddesses for decades—to give each woman focused, safe, and confidence-building coaching. Whether you are learning to stand for the first time or refining your technique, you’ll always feel supported and encouraged.
