Indra

Indra’s approach is simple; that to reach depth, one does not have to travel far. You already have all the solutions and improvements you seek, but you overlook them because you make yourself believe that they are beyond your reach. In his classes, you gain more by doing less.

Darma

Darma lives and grew up in Nusa Lembongan and that made him close and aware of the nature and its conditions especially the sea. He participated in surfing competitions a lot and also attended several lifeguard trainings since he was a teenager.

"Séjour décevant en terme de qualité mais prix très correct "

L’hébergement était plutôt bien. La nourriture vraiment bonne. Le personnel de l’hôtel très gentil. La salle de yoga est bien, et au centre de l’hôtel. Le rendez vous pour le surf est à 5min à pied de l’hôtel.

Accommodations are excellent. Staff is wonderful. Food is excellent. Staff takes a good deal of pride in their work and it shows. The surfing and yoga instruction is excellent, they are group lessons and the instructors can’t control for pain in the ass customers. But the location, gentle wave. Pleasant and eager instruction is all excellent. I’m not into yoga and energy healing in general but very much enjoyed giving it a go with instructors who genuinely are. Do get the massage place scheduled at the beginning of your package. Ask for the tiny woman. She can bend steel. I would have returned to her had I discovered her earlier.

"Perfect surfing, yoga and community connection"

It’s my second time with Isla Indah and I enjoyed my stay very much again.

Very welcoming staff, smooth arrangements of all activities and warm hospitality made the trip memorable.

I especially enjoyed the surfing part, Monkey Surfing has best instructors ever!

Food was very nice too, breakfasts and community dinner was delicious and healthy, very much in concept of yoga retreat.

"Amazing experience and value! "

We loved everything about this surf/yoga/ snorkeling camp. It was very well organized. We were staying in Ubud before, and even though we paid a little extra for the further away pickup, they arranged it all for us. They also got us to the airport on our way out & this was included in the price. The communication was very good ahead of time and during our stay. The surf instructors were amazing. We surfed with Kal most of the time and he is a very good teacher. He helped us catch more waves than we ever have. He explained things very well and made us feel confident on the waves. The boat to get to the break & the surfboards we used were great. The snorkeling experience was better than expected & we saw manta rays & a large sea turtle. The yoga classes were also very good. There were a lot of different options. We actually only made it to 2 out of 3 of the yoga classes because the schedule was so packed and we wanted to explore the island a bit. The accommodations were also very nice. Clean, well decorated, and cozy. The onsite restaurant was also excellent. Great healthy food options. It was great to have breakfast & 1 dinner included in our package. The staff was very kind & welcoming. We highly recommend this experience to anyone who is interested. It was a very good value for everything we got. It was convenient & we also feel like we saved money by booking it as a package instead of everything separately. It definitely saved us a lot of time & headache.

Accomodation was beautiful, staff were so nice and the food at Pisang Pisang was healthy and delicious. The guys at Monkey Surf were also really great teachers and helped me progress to a hardtop board. Yoga classes and snorkelling were great too- got to see some Manta rays. As a solo female traveller, this was the perfect retreat.

"Estancia inigualable "

Decidí pasar 7 días en Nusa Lembongan, donde mi objetivo era pasar una estancia de relajación, aprender a hacer meditación y surf. Me encontré con un equipo de profesionales maravillosos que me acogieron de una manera muy agradable y, a pesar de estar viajando sola, durante aquellos días me sentí como si no lo estuviera. El ambiente era muy familiar. El alojamiento era muy confortable, con las necesidades necesarias. La comida era deliciosa y muy completa, apenas tienes la necesidad de ir a comer fuera.

Tanto los profesionales en Monkey Surfing como las profesoras de yoga y meditación, son espectaculares. Había realizado diferentes clases de surf previamente, pero siendo honesta, en Monkey Surfing me dieron consejos imprescindibles para seguir avanzando, a la vez que era muy divertido pasar el rato con ellos en el agua.

También inicié mi camino hacía la meditación con el retiro Indah Retreat y fueron sensaciones muy bonitas, con personas expertas.

Así que en resumen, me llevo este viaje para siempre, en los más profundo de mi corazón y si alguien está pensando en reservar un retiro alrededor de Bali, sin duda alguna le recomiendo Indah Retreat.

Saludos a Fian, Maria, Planet, Khadir... y a todos y cada uno de ellos. Hasta pronto!

Monkey Surf instructors were great. Big Smiles, caring and attentive and good instruction. The snorkelling is definitely worth doing. Lembongan is so chill. So different from Bali. Feels like a friendly relaxed Community. I will definitely be back

I've had such a lovely experience at Isla Indah. All the staff were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. A special thank you to Zak and Fian. The room was super spacious, comfy and quiet. Having the yoga studio onsite was very convenient and discovering different types of yoga was very interesting. Carolin was very friendly and professional, always ensuring people were comfortable and able to do the poses at their own level. The onsite cafe serves delicious yummy healthy food - you must try their smoothie bowls! The surfing instructors were very friendly and patient, and the waves were the perfect size for a beginner like me. The icing on the cake was seeing the majestic manta rays. Thank you everyone at Isla Indah for making my stay so memorable!

"Lovely place to stay, helpful personnel"

I was welcomed very warmly and presented my personal program. My room was way better than I expected, beautiful and tastefully decorated, with even aroma sticks. Cleaned well and the bed sheets felt better and softer than in many hotels (staying a lot in hotels). The little shop had everything, a lot of lovely organic products.

Surf instructors were great, fun and the groups were small enough so that they could give you personal instructions.

Snorkelling trip was also awesome, fun and good instructions were provided and they made sure that everyone could see turtles and THE manta.

Yoga facility was nice, I joined to three different instructors yoga, they all were kind and warm but the level varied quite much from excellent to ”why did I even came here”.

Need to mention that the airconditioning worket excellently!

"Well worth the money"

Me and my boyfriend jumped on a 3-day plan last minute to experience some surfing and snorkeling, and our expectations were exceeded! The balanse between activities and rest is good, and the only day that worried us (starting with poweryoga at 08.00 and following with surfing at 10.00) also worked out fine because the yoga instructor changed the yoga into a more flow based yoga to compliment the surfing!

The accomodation is also amazing, everything is so close. The beach is a short walk away, and best of all you can have all your meals at this location. The yoga is also at the same location, so everything is just so so close. It hit us just as we left how good this stay had been. We would highly recommend to go!

"Abwechslungsreiches Programm an traumhaft schönem Strand"

Die Angestellten sind alle super nett und helfen bei allen Anliegen weiter. Der Gruppenraum ist gleichzeitig das Restaurant und hier fühlt man sich sehr wohl und trifft andere aus dem Retreat. Das Frühstück hat zwar lange gedauert, war dafür aber genau wie das Dinner super lecker! Trinkwasser ist rund um die Uhr verfügbar. Für den Aufenthalt von 7 Tagen haben wir einen Wochenplan erhalten und es war schön, dass wir uns vor Ort um nichts kümmern mussten. Yoga findet in einem schönen Shala statt und die Lehrerinnen sind super. Das Yoga selbst ist eher ruhig und dreht sich mehr um Atmung und Entspannung als um viele Asanas. Das Surfen hat uns besonders gut gefallen! Die Lehrer sind gut auf uns eingegangen, die Gruppen waren schön klein und das Surfgebiet eignet sich sowohl für Anfänger als auch für Fortgeschrittene :)

Der Schnorcheltrip war auch ein Highlight, da wir Mantarochen gesehen haben und schöne Riffe. Es sind nur 7 min zu Fuß zum wunderschönen Strand, an dem tolle Strandbars sind. Insgesamt war es eine super schöne erholsame Woche auf einer sehr schönen Insel!

"Wonderful experience!"

This whole trip was wonderful. I let the staff know what I wanted to do (surf lessons, yoga, snorkeling, massage) and they put together a fantastic package that covered everything from the minute the airplane touched down until I flew out five days later while still leaving me time to explore on my own when I wanted. All the instructors and staff were extremely friendly, capable, and helpful. The lodgings were comfortable and attractive. The food was delicious. I've tried a few surf lessons before, but it wasn't until my Monkey Surfing lesson here that I was able to actually stand and catch a wave. Turns out surfing is much more fun that way.... But anyway, I'd strongly recommend this program and would enjoy doing it again myself!

Ich werde diese Insel nochmals besuchen müssen...

"AMAZING!! 10/10 recommend"

Yoga: Although I have never done yoga before, this retreat was an incredible introduction, with the classes and teachers being suited to a beginner level when needed.

Surfing: the teachers, Planet, Dahma and Kadir were so helpful and friendly, and we all managed to stand up and swap to shorter boards by the end of our lessons. We left their classes with new friends in each instructor.

Staff: AMAZING, one of the highlights of the trip. The staff were friendly, fun, inclusive and really made you feel like a part of the family. I will absolutely be coming back to Lembongan just to see them all again

"HAPPY place"

EVERYTHING! We did this retreat with a friend and we loved every second on the island. This place is super chill and everyone is incredibly friendly and easygoing. We didn't want to leave.

The surf was amazing, Kadir, Dharma and Planet were incredible instructors and kept correcting us so we could actually get better while having a laugh, it was so much fun. Even though by the end of day 4 of surfing the paddling was definitely not working and we needed to be push because we felt like our arms were falling out, we were still having the best fun catching those waves and trying to turn.

And the yoga was so wholesome, Nadine, Carolyn and Indra were sensational and just the perfect complement for all the fun we had here. The people in Isla Indah were all lovely humans and even though we only stayed for a week we created new friendships with all these lovely humans. Thank you ALL for such an incredible and memorable time!

We will be back to this paradise :D

We liked how kind, patient and organised the instructors were and they gave amazing feedback about our surfing. We went from not being able to surf to being intermediate in 3 surf lessons. They gave us reef shoes and sun protective gear that was really good as well. We really loved the experience. The staff at the accommodation made it feel like a home and were so kind. There was not a lot not to like.

"Totally recommend "

The pictures don’t do this place justice. It was absolutely wonderful the yoga classes were excellent, the surfing lessons were perfect and the island itself is so calming and beautiful. I did the 4 day retreat which was long enough for me as Nusa Lembongan is a small island and I felt I had explored sufficiently (in between yoga classes, surfing lessons and snorkelling) by the time the 4 day retreat was over. Totally recommend it to anyone especially if you’re travelling solo, I met some lovely people!

Toen ik aankwam werd ik meteen al met open armen ontvangen door de mensen van Isla Indah. Iedereen is super vriendelijk en kreeg meteen een heerlijk komkommer/ limoen drankje. De surf lessen waren super leuk met aardige instructeurs en de yoga lessen waren ook van goede kwaliteit.

Ik heb nieuwe dingen geleerd! Ook heeft het personeel mij geholpen met een taxi te regelen vanaf Sanur naar Ubud.

"An amazing 5 days yoga retreat on Nusa Lembongan"

The rooms were lovely, really well decorated and everything was clean. They also had snacks, drinks & other goodies in the rooms! I was travelling alone and I felt really safe here. The staff were lovely, there was one who I think might have been new as she never knew what was going on! But the others were great. The food was good too. Also a lovely boutique shop by reception which is a bonus too! And the yoga, it was amazing. Nadine, Delphine and Caroline are all fantastic instructors with a really calming and securing way about them. I didn’t want to leave! Delphine also introduced me to meditation, which at first can be quite daunting, but she made it delightful. She also gave me some tips for the future which I have been doing since leaving, so thank you. I really hope the yoga teachers get paid a good cut of the money as they are what made my trip! I highly recommend Isla Indah as a place to stay on Nusa Lembongan, you are close to the port, loads of yummy cafes and restaurants that cater for vegan/gluten free too! And not far from the beach too. I loved the Bali Eco Cafe and also Ginger and Jamu! I have travelled Indonesia for 4 weeks now and can safely say Nusa Lembongan was my favourite place. It is not too touristy yet which makes it a fabulous place to visit.

"Fantastic week"

I was at Isla Indah for a week to do 3x surfing classes and 6x yoga/meditation sessions.

The surf instruction was the best I've ever had, the team looked after me extremely well and I improved a lot over those three days. By the end I was turning on the waves on a hard board which I'd never got close to before. And having never surfed on a reef break they kept me completely safe.

The accommodation was fantastic. Clean and relaxing and the staff were always very friendly and helpful.

I'd not done much yoga before this trip. The classes were very well run, the teachers took care to look after people of all abilities and experiences. I had a great time and will be continuing with more yoga when I get home.

The surrounding area is very relaxed and has all you'd need. Very close to the beach and right on the main street in Lembongan. Plenty of bars, restaurants and shops. Not as hectic as other areas on Bali. Just a really chilled atmosphere.

Many thanks to the team at Isla Indah and Monkey Surfing.

"Amazing Place, Amazing People, Great Retreat"

Not all the "styles" of yoga were to my personal liking - but part of the reason I chose this retreat was to explore the different styles and work out which works best for me - and this is exactly what I did. So thank you.

The surfing instructors were amazing and loads of fun. Not only did they help me improve my surfing in just three sessions, but we had fun in the process. It wasn't all just serious stuff, more like serious Surf & Fun stuff. A special thanks to Kadir & Planet.

The snorkelling was absolutely amazing, a must for the natural sea lovers. The coral & fish were lovely and the waters crystal and beautiful. Green Sea Turtles and Manta Rays were just fantastic to see up close and the guides were easy to understand and very good. We were even lucky enough to see some dolphins too. Thanks so much.

Overall, the food at the Isla Inda was just "to-die-for". Amazing and the chief was very accommodating in relation to specific requests, or altering a dish to make it vegan, etc etc.

The staff at this resort were super helpful and friendly and overall just wonderful people who wanted to ensure my stay was enjoyable and effortless.

I would go back here anytime. Thanks.

Locals and other travelers eat there as well bc food is so fresh and tasty. Great a/c and hot water. Spacious clean bedroom and bathroom including tasteful decor with a relaxing aesthetic and Balinese detail. Lovely yoga teachers. Everything was seamless from pick-up at my hotel on the main island to drop-off back to the main island. Everything on my itinerary was on time and planned perfectly. Plenty of time to explore the island, meet people, and enjoy other activities too.

I have joined to do some yoga, surf and snorkelling activities. All of it was great! I just wish they could take some video or pictures about us doing surf just for memories.

The staff was brilliant with every request. Chris helped a lot in the booking process and Leo has done a clear and precise check in on arrival.

The girls were also always smiling and made me feel at home.

The programme is very well thought trough and they are happy to change some part of the schedule.

I booked this trip as a solo traveller looking to fill a few spare days, and I had the most relaxing and fun time at Isla Indah. The itinerary was perfect for me; there was enough to do during the day and the yoga/surfing/snorkelling was great, but there was also time to unwind and explore the island. The staff and instructors were amazing, too, and the on-site food was incredible. Couldn’t recommend this place enough.

About the activities everything was great! I enjoyed the yoga classes so much, as well as the surf lessons, they made everything super easy and fun. Thanks a lot to all the teachers!

Snorkelling with Manta Rays and the Balinese massage are just the cerry on top.

I ended up extending my stay for one more night to enjoy another delicious group dinner with all the staff and other guests and having a great time with them.

Terimakasih everyone 🙏🏻 and see you later 🤗

J'ai passé une semaine magnifique à Isla Indah. La retraite de yoga était le highlight de mon séjour à Bali. Les cours de yoga et de surf dispensés sont de grande qualité, il s'agit de cours en petit comité ce qui les rendent comme écrit plus haut très qualitatifs. Les professeurs sont pédagogues, attentifs et à l'écoute. La propriété est très agréable et le personnel bienveillant. On se sent si bien à Nusa Lembongan qu'il est difficile de repartir.

Der gesamte Aufenthalt inklusive der Aktivitäten war sehr gut geplant und konnte schon im Buchungsprozess sehr gut individuell angepasst werden. Ein besonderer Dank gilt hier Christopher (Chris) der sowohl während der Planung als auch während meines Aufenthaltes sehr bemüht war alle Gäste zu unterstützen und Wünsche zu ermöglichen. Alle Aktivitäten (Surfen, Yoga und Schnorcheln) waren gut organisiert und wurden von professionellen Guides durchgeführt. Auch das Essen in der Unterkunft hat sehr gut geschmeckt. Bei meinen Aufenthalt möchte ich besonders hervorzuheben, dass man schnell in Kontakt mit anderen Gästen aus verschiedenen Ländern kommt und Chris dies auch fördert (zum Beispiel durch ein gemeinsames Abendessen). Es eignet sich daher auch sehr für Leute die alleine reisen oder neue Kontakte knüpfen wollen. Insgesamt habe ich mich sehr wohl gefühlt.

"Amazing Experience with incredible nice and helpful staff!"

I had an amazing time, and was extremely happy that I chose to do the retreat on Nuse Lembongan island opposed to one in Canggu or elsewhere on mainland Bali. The airport pick up was incredibly helpful and stress free for getting me to the island safely, and right on time!

The staff was super helpful, and were always available to answer any question I had.

Surfing was amazing, and the instructors were SOOOO good!

The food was fantastic, and very well priced. Especially for the portion sizes! The big retreat wide dinner that we had was very well organized, they were very generous with the food and drinks, and again everything was delicious.

My room was perfect with AC and hot water, and they did not come clean the room during my stay which is exactly what I wanted. I'm not a fan of someone coming through my room with all my stuff there when I'm only there for 3 nights. When I needed another towel i just asked and they gave me a new one. I saw someone ask for ore toilet paper and they just gave it to them, so it's perfect if that's the type of room service you're after.

Everything was above excellent, the whole staff including serving and hosts were amazing. I was sick for 2 days, they cared and looked after me, even offered to take me to the doctor. The accommodation, schedule, facilities and food were all super good. I'll defo be back.... maybe before I leave Bali on the 19th March who knows

"Excellent experience"

Having booked through booksurfcamps.com I did not know what to expect!

However, I was really impressed with the whole experience. The welcome was great. The accommodation was good. The trainers were good too. The food and the centre - everything seemed to work like clock work. Being meeted and greeted etc...taken to the airport...

Isla Indah Retreat and Monkey Surfing have evidently worked hard on making sure that the guests have a seamless experience. So much so that I would have no reservations in recommending this to friends.

From the early contact to the booking, the process was made very simple as I received quick replies from Chris. I was pleasantly surprised with Isla Indah, the food was amazing which meant I didn’t have to eat anywhere else as it provided healthy vegan and vegetarian options. The staff were really friendly and helpful and made a lot of effort to make me feel welcome.

The yoga classes were great and the surfing lessons also good. It was a welcome relief that all of my schedule was planned for me and I could just enjoy my holiday.

I will definitely recommend Isla Indah to friends and hope to be back again soon.

We enjoyed everything about our time at Isla Indah Retreat. From the spacious room with the king-sized four-poster bed, to the delicious vegan-friendly cuisine. The staff were friendly, the yoga was awesome, and the surfing lessons a treat.

The jewel in the crown was snorkelling with manta rays.

Being a small exclusive resort the atmosphere was friendly and intimate - almost more like a home stay.

We will definitely be back for more.

i would highly recommend this retreat to everyone who is looking for active break from busy stressful life, and also relaxed evenings by the beautiful sunset on the beach.

"Perfect home away from home."

I'm so pleased I booked this retreat as there were so many to choose from. Everyone at Rama Gardens go out of their way to make you feel like one of the family and ensure that you are having the best time. Lis is an absolute treasure and is amazing at looking out for all the guests and coordinating them for the activities.

Surfing: the team are really invested in sharing their passion for surfing and the water with guests, taking time to go over the theory before getting in the water. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly but a special shout goes out to Kal who makes it his personal mission to get everyone standing up on the board and riding a wave.

Yoga: the setting for the yoga is amazing and a variety of classes are available. I really enjoyed the classes here.

Free diving: I did this for something slightly different and thought it was a great addition to the program. Igor was extremely knowledgable and took the time to ensure I was confident before we headed out to sea. I struggled a bit with equalising but used my new found skills for snorkelling after the class!

Overall this is a fantastic place to go, I was travelling solo but never felt alone and met people that I know will be friends for life.

The surfing instructors were all really nice, and picked up on what you had to do to improve really quickly. I felt like all two of us that went improved so much during these days. The instructors were really good at what they did, and made the whole experience feel safe and so fun! :))))

The yoga instructor was really sweet, and it felt like there were options for everyone with all different levels to participate and get better!

"Perfect surf retreat for health-minded, active people!"

I’ve stayed in several of these yoga retreats, and this one is my favorite.

Very short walk to the beach or the main road. Quiet at night so no issues sleeping.

Single-standing units, which were colorful, clean, and lovely. Bathroom smelled a little, but they all do in this part of the world and a little air circulation/incense cleared the air.

Food: Excellent and very healthy. I eat mostly paleo and was happy there were a lot of veggie/meat options for me to choose from. The smoothies were amazing!

Staff: Top notch. Some of the nicest people I’ve met, and really made the retreat for me as their energy really sets the tone. They were really nice, helpful, not uptight, and don’t fuss about what classes you didn’t make it too like other places I’ve stayed.

Surf was great. If you want to learn to surf a reef-break, this is a great place to try it as its gentle. The instructors were great, even if they did seem a little impatient with my overweight, middle-aged ass at times.

Yoga also excellent. The walk there is brief and a great way to get to know the other people at the retreat.

I had a really easy time making friends here and know I made some friends for life. I can’t wait to come back.

Accommodation was absolutely fine- I had a a/c in bungallow, was nice and clean and could request for sheets to be changed whenever i needed. Yoga teacher is nice and have a good knowledge about yoga teachings. Monkey surfing is certainly the best place to learn yo surf on the island. All instructors were very friendly, responsible and would always make sure you get most out of your surf lesson. Retreat itself was very well organised. I will definitely be coming back and I highly recommend this to anyone who are looking for yoga retreat in beautiful place

"An amazing week in Lembongan! "

The yoga - which was offsite and organised in partnership with a yoga centre - was excellent, mostly yin yoga and quite focused on mindfulness, without being preachy. I felt like new after the 6 lessons. Worth pointing out that the instructors listed here are the surf instructors, not the yoga teachers (and sadly, I didn't catch the yoga teacher's name - needless to say she was great!)

All in all a really good mix of activities (surfing, yoga and an amazing massage), the staff at Rama Garden were just wonderful and very welcoming, and they did everything they could to make the stay memorable and help with special requests, in particular Liz.

I would highly recommend renting a scooter to explore the island, it's a great way to spend the time in between yoga and surfing.

It's nice not having to worry about breakfast and lunch, and the smoothies are really tasty.

i will force myself to be short because it could be very long to write down all my experience.

instructors are top! they know your name, they explain you surf with simple words, and the most important: they manage to make you get the wave!

the place is amazing!

i was so sad to quit the island.

and the top of the top: people around you at the rama garden 😍... they care about you and they let you space at the sale time, they give you smiles and good vibes.

thank you all the team!

"Great introduction to surfing"

More of a surf retreat then a yoga retreat, which was fine for me. Bumpy start for the yoga portion as the instructor took emergency leave and there was no replacement but Rama Gardens kindly refunded me the cost for the yoga sessions so I could book elsewhere. Location is great - just a few minutes walk to the beach (amazing sunsets every evening!), 10 min walk to the yoga place and surf place. The snorkeling trip was awesome (but maybe not for those who get seasick easily).. seeing the manta rays up close is something I won't forget. Just a side note, it might be cheaper to book an accommodation and book your activities separately, but for the convenience of having the schedule planned out was fairly worth it for me. Accommodation is as illustrated in the photos. The check out was early on the day I had my last surfing lesson as the next customers were checking in early, but I was allowed to shower in one of the rooms that was empty, so that was a nice touch of flexibility.

Letizia Lerose

We made many friends at rama garden both with fellow attendees and others staying at the hotel as well as the yoga/surf instructors who we will remain friends with after we’ve left. The yoga classes at yoga shack were perfect; the surf lessons with monkey surfing were outstanding and really fun, the accommodations were adorable (we loved the little bungalow shacks) and the food... was the best on the island! We happily ate every meal at rama garden and it was a good congregating point. We also absolutely loved the Balinese massage at puri nusa. Our hostess arranged transportation to and from Bali for us and helped us customize our visit perfectly to include a tour of nusa penida- our every need was met. Everyone should stay here!!

Celine Nguyen

from United States, August 2018

The pros of this place is that the accommodation is fairly comfortable and the food and juices are amazing. Liz, one of the managers, tried to help me as best as she could. Even her smiling face made me feel better during tough situations. The beach is your backyard and you have a handful of restaurants that have beautiful sunset views. The surfing is great, each day gets more and more advice but awesome for beginners with 3 people max for 1 instructor. My advice for the retreat is to have a message board in the restaurant about the boats if they may or may not be cancelled the next day to avoid confusion and chaos. Treat your guests as family or as a community especially if they're traveling solo. business structure and overall retreat needs massive improvements when it comes to their advertising and customer service.

"great place but it's not really a retreat"

I spent 7 days in Nusa Lembongan with rama Garden retreat center. I had super great time. The island is amazing, the place to stay is really good, even if you choose the cheapest one (bungalow), Lisa, the host, is always there to help you.

They book every activity for you (yoga class, surf lessons, snorkeling tour and massage), which is really good because you don't need to think about anything and you just have to follow the schedule they made for you.

The whole time I was really happy with my stay, yoga class are really good (at Yoga Shank), surf lessons are nice (the best lesson I had during the 3 days was the one with Christopher who explains very well), snorkeling tour is amazing as you'll normally see Manta rays, and massage is really relaxing after your week of surfing with tight shoulder blades :)

I will definitely recommend that place, but just be aware it's not really a "retreat" in the common sense of it :)

Cheers!

I loved the additional activities such as the massage and snorkeling. Every day was full of adventures.

Learning to surf was a whole lot of fun with experienced surf coaches who make sure you will stand up! The surf location is a great spot to learn and conquer any fears. The coaches were very friendly and made sure you were having a good time.

The yoga classes were the right amount of challenging. It was great to be able to focus on areas that you want to learn or overcome. The instructor was great and ensured that all students received attention, as well as, including a little bit of fun. It was a great way to start off or end off your day.

The overall staff really made this experience an amazing one. Thank you!

I wish more smoothies were included in the package, but I totally didn't mind paying extra for all that deliciousness :P

The surfing was super fun, and it was great to have some coaching. I've been surfing for about 4/5 years already, so once the instructor was familiar with my ability level, he was able to really give me some good feedback and tips. The yoga instructors were nice, and taught a different style than I normally gravitate towards, so it was good to experience something different.

"Brilliant five night stay at Rama Garden"

Everything was well-organised - airport/boat transfer, transfer from the boat to accommodation, drop off to the first activity etc. Rama garden is in a good location, just off the main street so it's quiet and a stone's throw from the beach. They also helped me with scooter rental so I didn't have to go anywhere to get one or return it.

Room was very clean and spacious and had shelving so you could unpack your suitcase and there were plenty of hangers and a rail to hang things up. Pisang Pisang was absolutely fantastic, I loved all my meals there but I especially loved their smoothies. All staff made sure everyone was well looked after at all times.

"Great experience, absolutely loved it!"

The surf lessons and accommodation were great. Unfortunately I attended only one yoga class but was happy with it. Absolutely loved the island and the experience overall. Wish I could have stayed for a few more days.

Les profs étaient excellents , l'ambiance familiale était géniale et la cuisine aussi ! On a pu rencontrer pas mal de gens et découvrir un côté de Bali moins touristique donc très sympa !

La cuisine était délicieuse, et on nous a aidé et assisté à chaque instant :)

"Awesome people, Yoga, Surfung, Snorkeling, good food!"

I had a perfect stay at Rama Garden. The room was clean and cozy, the food (breakfast and other meals, especially the smoothies!) was delicious and the employees were very friendly and did everything to make me feel comfortable.

Its a nice place to meet people and make new friends! I would definitely recommend Rama Garden and would love to stay there again one day....

"Surf Sun Smiles "

The location is perfect, the island is really relaxed and beautiful, much more calm than the main island of bali. You can really relax here and enjoy quality time alone or with a partner/friends.

The transportation to get to the island is very smooth and professional.

The hotel staff are all so kind, as a female solo traveller I felt very safe and welcomed. All the guests were also so friendly, like minded, and it's so beautiful to be constantly surrounded by such warm smiles.

The hotel itself is so nice and authentic and the meals were really delicious, especially the smoothies and the shakes.

The hotel location is a short walk to the beach, along the beach there are many lovely bars/coffee shops which are the best place to have a mid morning coffee while you catch up emails (if you must) and to take evening strolls and enjoy the sunset.

The surfing classes were really fun, good for all levels of ability, as a complete novice I learned a lot and felt very comfortable in the water and relaxed while learning. The yoga was also really good and the teacher was very kind.

Cannot recommend this place enough and I will definitely be back.

The rooms had all the comfort whislt keeping simplicity and eco nature. I loved the restaurant pisang pisang excellent food made me curious to wsmt to try everything. Healthy and tasteful. Also an extensive original intriguing fresh list of fresh juices and smoothies. I felt and wanted to be healthy, it was invigorating. The staff are so friendly and nake you feel at home. It felt like being in my family very cosy.

"Great time, thank you! "

All instructors were great, friendly, and very helpful. The accommodations were clean and a short walk to the beach. Freediving was my favorite activity and I will continue lesson back in the states. The food was healthy and delicious and I recommend this retreat for those who want a simple, active, quiet getaway.

"Exactly the relaxing and recharging break I was hoping for"

Rama Garden is lovely accommodation, in a quiet relaxed setting set back from the beach but within easy access of anything you want to do. The treat of having a shower in the secluded outdoor bathroom and the food and smoothies are outstanding. Rosa and the other staff are all friendly, welcoming and knowledgable. Organising motorcycle hire, giving me a map and explanation of the island and introduced me to other solo travellers also staying and doing the yoga/surf lessons. The surf/yoga schedule allowed me to settle into a great rhythm of physical activity and relaxation/exploration and left me feeling pleasantly exhausted at the end of every day. My first attempt at surfing and the instructors had me up standing and gradually improving every day. The yoga was also good, especially the yin classes with live handpan music accompaniment. The whole package felt like a great treat and a welcome change from mainland Bali, in that everything is more relaxed and and the pace of life is more chilled. Also the beach bar at the end of the gang is the perfect spot for a sundowner - away from the louder more brightly lit bars and the staff there also quickly get to know you. As a solo late 30s female traveller, I recommend it and it has inspired me to do more similar things in the future. Terima kasih!!!!

"Surfing with a kid"

The warmth of the people like Rosa, Trinity, Lisa (yoga shack), Planet and Diasa (snorkelling trip) and special care they took for us as a family and first time surf learners.

"Great fun & Food in the sun"

The Location of Rama garden is perfect if you dont ride a motorbike like me. You can walk to all the activities in 15 mins. The Food and juices served at the restaurant pisang-pisang are amazingly good! Its a Nice place to meet likeminded people. Many people I met were also travelling solo. The staff of Rama garden/pisang-pisang knew all the names of the guests staying there; that was such a warm feeling!

Transport to the island and back was really good organized.

The surfing teachers were Great! They really took time to learn you everything and Again, they also knew all of our names! The groups were small So you could really prachtige your skills.

Yoga at yoga shack was also relaxt and doable for a beginner.

"Nice place, beautiful people"

I'm a 35+ solo female traveler and I must say I didn't know what to expect from Lembongan which turned out to be a relatively less touristy spot around Balinese islands. This retreat turned out to be a good mix of disconnect and recentering on a quiet island - surrounded by like-minded and friendly people. Staff make sure you have a good time while in Lembongan, yoga classes are good, food was very healthy and tasty... I also had surf lessons in my package which I had to forego (turns out I'm not made for surf :)..

"Good times are endless!"

I've had many high level team sports coaches in my time and the coaches at Monkey Surfing are now among them, they are very personalable and driven to help you make the most of your time on the water. Even though I had the same instructor each day I had lessons each instructor took the time to give me feed back or encouragement at some point, it just goes to show that they are all invested in making your time on the water a very enjoyable time and although I had some previous experience on the water surfing each day I gained more confidence and increased my ability through their guidance. I can't rate these guys high enough, you will have a ball and many laughs! I will be back regularly

Rama garden has a great vibe and amazing food on offer! The manager Rosa and her team were great! She's very involving but also respects personal space, she has a great knowledge of the island and great at organising activities and logistics of your trip. I felt very welcome and made many new friends!

"Very nice people"

Rosa, who runs the place in day time is so nice, so helpful, organized, so patient, helped me with rescheduling, getting a scooter, helping me access my email as my phone was broken, took time to print my plane ticket for me and making sure I got to the boat and to the airport on time. Very accomodating staff. They'wa and Planet(sp?) were really good surfing teachers. As well as Anna who taught yoga. Awesome place. Definitely would come back. Wish I could've stayed longer. Everyones super nice.

"Einfach die perfekte Wahl um als Alleinreisende das Meiste herauszuholen! "

-die super herzlichen Gastgeberinnen Rosa und Leysan

-die tollen Bekanntschaften mit den anderen Gästen mit welchen das Surfen, Yoga und Schnorcheln sowie das selbständige Erkunden der Insel doppelt soviel Freude machte.

-das super zusammengestellte Programm welches gerade genug aber nicht zuviel Platz für Zusätzliches offen liess um immer genug-und wenn man wollte- noch mehr zu tun zu haben.

- das leckere frühstück und Mittagessen

- die unkompliziertheit

- mein grosszügiges und saubere Zimmer mit halboffenem Badezimmer und praktischer Kommode um sich einzurichten

- super Massagen in s.u.b

- beste Surflehrer ( Planet und Dewa) von Monkey surfing und Yogateacherin Lisa im Yoga shack

- gratis Wasser zum nachfüllen rund um die Uhr
