Surf Schools & Lessons in Jimbaran, Bali

Learning to surf from Jimbaran

Jimbaran Bay itself is usually sheltered with small waves, which makes it relaxing for swimming but often too flat for surfing. Jimbaran's location is the real advantage: it's close to Kuta's beginner beach break to the north and the Bukit Peninsula's surf spots to the south, so schools here can take you wherever conditions are best.

Who should stay in Jimbaran?

Jimbaran suits families and couples who want a quieter base with easy access to lessons. Experienced surfers also use it to reach the Bukit reefs and the airport-area reef breaks by boat.

How much do surf lessons cost?

As a rough guide, a 2-hour group lesson in Bali usually costs around IDR 350,000–500,000 per person, and a private lesson around IDR 600,000–1,000,000. Transport, board hire and photos may be extra, so check what's included.
