If you’re dreaming of a breathtaking surf adventure on Bali's neighbouring island, you’ve just found your next journey. FOR THE ONES, WHO ARE READY FOR MORE DEPTH & AN HONEST CONNECTION TO SELF. Not all journeys are measured in how fast you reach your next goal or milestone. Some are measured in the distance between who you are and who you're becoming. For 5 days, we invite you to step away from the demands, expectations and noise of everyday life and into something deeper. A space where the ocean becomes your teacher. Where movement becomes medicine. Where surfing becomes a doorway into courage, presence and self-trust. Where modern and ancient Self Discovery leads you into breaking down your own barriers. MORE CLARITY. MORE ALIVENESS. MORE CONNECTION TO SELF. Together, we'll surf turquoise waves, move our bodies, slow our minds, share meaningful conversations, laugh until the bellies hurt and create space for the things that often get lost in the pace of daily life. Not to become someone new - but to remember who you are beneath the noise. THIS IS MORE THAN A SURF RETREAT.
HELD BY NATURE
There is something powerful about stepping away from the familiar. For six days, you will immerse yourself in the beauty of Lombok, staying in a stunning boutique resort where comfort, nature and tranquility meet. Tucked away in a lush tropical garden with beautiful beach views, our home offers a peaceful sanctuary to unwind. Enjoy the comfort of thoughtfully designed rooms, a hotel-owned yoga shala surrounded by nature and spaces that invite you to slow down and simply be. Mornings begin with the ocean. Days unfold through surfing, movement, adventure, connection and exploration. Evenings invite you to gather beneath colorful sunsets, enjoy nourishing meals and embrace the magic of island life. Away from the noise and demands of everyday life, nature has a way of bringing us back to ourselves. Sometimes a change of scenery becomes a change of perspective. And that is where something beautiful begins. Our retreat is located in Lombok, Indonesia — easily accessible via Bali or Jakarta, with direct connections making your journey to us simple and seamless.
THE SURF
At Floating You, surfing is so much more than learning how to ride a wave. It's a practice that invites you into the present moment. A chance to reconnect with your body, build confidence, challenge yourself and experience the kind of freedom that only exists when you're fully here. One wave at a time. Surrounded by turquoise waters, remote coastlines and breathtaking natural beauty, you'll spend your days immersed in the rhythm of the ocean. Early mornings watching the sunrise from the lineup. Long sessions beneath dramatic island landscapes. Moments of stillness between waves where time seems to slow down. And if you're lucky, a turtle might paddle by to say hello. Whether you're stepping onto a surfboard for the very first time or looking to refine your skills, our experienced coaching team provides personalised guidance, in-water support, theory sessions and video analysis throughout the week. With small coaching ratios and a nurturing environment, you'll feel supported every step of the way.
THE YOGA
Our yoga sessions are designed to complement your surf journey and support you both physically and emotionally throughout the week. Whether you're moving through an energising morning flow, unwinding with a restorative Yin practice, or finding stillness through breath and meditation, each session offers an opportunity to reconnect with your body and quiet the noise of everyday life. This is not about perfect poses or pushing yourself further. It's about creating space. Space to feel. Space to reflect. Space to simply be.
SACRED SOUND BATHS
One of the most loved experiences of the retreat. Our Sound Journeys are an invitation to slow down, soften and simply receive. No striving. No doing. No achieving. Just you, comfortably lying down, allowing waves of sound and vibration to guide you into deep relaxation and presence. Far beyond a traditional sound bath, our sessions combine a rich spectrum of instruments and frequencies to create a fully immersive experience. Throughout the week, you will encounter the sounds of crystal singing bowls, Himalayan bowls, ocean drums, frame drums, chimes, tuning forks, rattles, vocal toning and other carefully selected instruments, each bringing its own unique texture and energy to the journey. Many of our yoga sessions are accompanied by live sound, creating a beautiful synergy between movement, breath and vibration. The highlight of the week is our signature Sound Journey — a deeply restorative experience designed to help quiet the mind, calm the nervous system and create space for reflection, insight and emotional release. While every experience is unique, many guests describe feeling lighter, more While every experience is unique, many guests describe feeling lighter, more connected, deeply relaxed and profoundly present afterwards.
REIKI ENERHY HEALING
As part of your retreat experience, you'll receive a private 1:1 Reiki session. Reiki is a gentle, hands-on energy healing practice designed to support deep relaxation, restore balance and create space for emotional and energetic release. Many guests describe leaving their session feeling lighter, calmer and more connected to themselves. Whether you arrive with a specific intention or simply an open mind, this dedicated time is an invitation to slow down, receive and allow yourself to be fully supported.
UNFOLD YOUR ESSENCE
Beyond the waves, this retreat offers space to reconnect with yourself. Space to slow down. Space to listen. Space to remember what often gets lost beneath the noise of everyday life. Through yoga, meditation, breathwork, sound journeys and guided self-discovery sessions, you'll be invited to explore the relationship you have with yourself, your dreams, your fears and the life you want to create. From a place of curiosity, compassion and self-awareness. This retreat is for anyone longing to feel more connected. Connected to themselves. Connected to others. Connected to the natural world around them. Together, we'll create a space where you can soften, reflect and return to what truly matters. Because beneath all the roles we play and responsibilities we carry, there is a deeper part of us waiting to be heard.
NEW MOON CACAO & FIRE CEREMONY
For centuries, cacao has been used in ritual and ceremony as a way to gather, connect and open the heart. During our retreat, we work with ceremonial cacao as a gentle companion for reflection, intention setting and meaningful connection. Often referred to as a "heart-opening" plant medicine, cacao invites us to slow down, soften and listen more deeply to ourselves. Combined with guided practices, music, journaling and group sharing, it creates a beautiful space to reconnect with what truly matters. Our cacao ceremony takes place beneath the stars, surrounded by nature and supported by the energy of the group. A moment to pause. To reflect on where you are. To honour what you are ready to release. And to create space for what wants to emerge next. There is nothing you need to force. Nothing you need to become. Simply an invitation to connect with yourself more honestly, more openly and more fully. Like many experiences throughout the retreat, the cacao ceremony is less about finding answers and more about creating the space to hear your own inner wisdom. A beautiful ritual of connection, intention and remembrance.
EXPLORATION OF ISLAND LIFE
A retreat in Indonesia wouldn't be complete without a little adventure. During the week, we'll set off by boat to explore some of the breathtaking beauty surrounding us. Depending on conditions, this may include snorkeling alongside sea turtles, discovering remote islands, swimming in crystal-clear waters and experiencing the magic of Indonesia from a different perspective. These moments are an invitation to slow down, play, connect and embrace the spirit of island life. Because transformation isn't only found in workshops or on a yoga mat. Sometimes it's found floating in turquoise water, laughing with new friends and feeling completely present in the moment. After all, life is meant to be experienced.
WHY COMBINE IT ALL?
At Floating You, we don't believe transformation happens through a single practice. It happens through the combination of experiences. Through movement and stillness. Challenge and rest. Adventure and reflection. Throughout the week, every element of the retreat has been thoughtfully designed to support your wellbeing from multiple angles — physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. You'll move your body through surfing and yoga. Calm your nervous system through breathwork, meditation and sound journeys. Explore new perspectives through workshops, journaling and guided self-discovery sessions. Reconnect with nature through ocean time, island adventures and moments of stillness beneath the stars. And nourish yourself with wholesome meals, meaningful conversations and a community of like-minded women. Rather than focusing on one path, we create an environment where transformation can unfold naturally. Because often it isn't one moment that changes us. It's the accumulation of many small moments that help us remember who we are.
EMBRACE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF YOUR OWN HAPPINESS
At some point, we realise that no one else can create the life we long for. Not a partner. Not a job. Not a circumstance. Only us. This retreat isn't about escaping your life. It's about reconnecting with yourself so you can return to it differently. More present. More confident. More connected to what truly matters. Throughout the week, you'll be introduced to practices, perspectives and experiences that invite deeper self-awareness and personal responsibility.
YOUR HOME FOR THE WEEK
A TROPICAL OASIS IN KUTA LOMBOK
For 5 days, you'll call the beauty of Lombok Home.
Nestled in tropical, lush gardens our boutique retreat sanctuary is just minutes away from crystal-clear turquoise waters that feel like from a Postcard. Picture swaying palm trees, warm ocean breezes and spectacular sunsets unfolding right in front of you each evening.
Wake up to the sound of tropical birdsong. Enjoy your morning coffee overlooking the bay before starting the day with yoga, surf or a slow swim in the ocean.
The surf is never far away. A variety of beautiful surf spots within easy reach by car, each day offers the opportunity to explore some of Indonesia's most stunning waters.
As the sun begins to set, the bay transforms into a canvas of gold, pink and orange — a daily reminder of the beauty that exists when we slow down enough to notice it.

The most eye Opening Experience I ever had - 5 STARS! I joined „Floating You“ in Lombok and it was just the most amazing experience. The schedule was packed with Yoga, Surf Lessons, Personal Development Workshops and Healing Sessions. Within a week I grew so much and in so many aspects that it would go beyond the scope to go into detail, but I truly feel like I returned home as a better version of myself. Riany did an amazing job organizing everything and above all managing to bring a group of strangers together and leading them to built a true connection within the shortest amount of time. I can fully recommend this retreat and I hope to join again someday.

TripadvisorA DAY WITH US
Depending on the ocean tides, most likely our days at Floating You look as followed:
Previous
Next
Early Birds
Wake up to the sound of tropical birds and the gentle rhythm of the ocean.
As the island slowly comes to life, we'll begin the day together with an energising yoga practice close to the water. Through movement, breathwork and meditation, you'll create space to arrive fully in the present moment and set the tone for the day ahead.
Afterwards, enjoy a nourishing à la carte breakfast filled with fresh, wholesome ingredients while soaking in the beauty of your surroundings.
Then it's time for what we came for.
Salt on our skin, boards under our arms and another morning exploring the magic of Indonesia's waves alongside our experienced surf coaches.
There is something special about starting the day this way.
Late Mornings
After breakfast, we'll set off in search of waves.
This retreat is recommended for women who have already had a taste of surfing and are looking to build confidence, gain experience and deepen their connection with the ocean.
Many of our surf sessions begin with a boat ride across the bay, exploring beautiful breaks, crystal-clear waters and uncrowded waves far from the busy surf spots.
Every day, our experienced coaching team selects the best location based on the conditions, creating the most enjoyable experience possible.
Then it's back to paradise for lunch, relaxation and a slow island afternoon.
The Afternoons & Evenings
As the day slows down, we gather for experiences designed to deepen connection, reflection and joy.
Depending on the day, this may include guided meditations, self-discovery workshops, sound journeys, sharing circles, creative sessions, sunset adventures or surf analysis to support your progression in the water.
There is space to learn.
Space to reflect.
And space to simply be.
As the sun begins to set, we'll come together once more to share a delicious dinner overlooking paradise, exchanging stories from the day and creating memories that often become some of the most treasured parts of the retreat.
Perhaps a little journaling.
Perhaps an early night.
Perhaps one last look at the stars before drifting off to sleep.

What is the best way to get to Lombok?
FLIGHTS:
The quickest option is to fly from Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) in Bali to Lombok International Airport (LOP). The flight duration is approximately 35 min. From Lombok International Airport to Kuta Lombok is around a 20-30 minute drive. Flight prices generally range from 50 EUR to 80 EUR one way.
FERRY & DRIVING:
Another option is to take a ferry from Padang Bai in Bali to Lembar Port in Lombok. The ferry ride takes around 5-6 hours. Once you arrive at Lembar Port, Kuta, Lombok, is approximately 1 hour away by car. Ferry ticket prices depend on whether you bring a vehicle or travel as a foot passenger. Prices typically range from 5 EUR to 10 EUR for foot passengers and higher for vehicles.
SPEEDBOAT:
Several speedboat operators offer direct transfers from Bali (Padang Bai or Serangan) to Kuta, Lombok. The journey takes around 2 hours, depending on sea conditions. Speedboat tickets usually cost between 25 to 50 EUR per person, one way.
When should I arrive in Lombok?
The retreat program usually kicks off around 2PM, depending on everyone's arrival. Checkin is between 1 and 2 PM. There are many flights from Bali or Jakarta in the morning. Just pick the one that suits you best. You can always arrive earlier and enjoy a snack or coffee on the lazy sunbeds by the pool until your room is ready!
When does the Retreat finish on the last day?
The last official good bye hug will probably be around 11am. A lot of people extend a day or 2 to let everything sink and enjoy some integration time. If you need to leave the same day its best to book a flight between 1and 4 pm from Lombok to Bali or to Jakarta!
Can I join if I never surfed before?
100% !! Floating You in Lombok is a beginner friendly retreat. We learn everything together from scratch. Your first ever surfs will be on a long sandy beach, with a small beach break where you only learn to 'pop up' and practice your stands. Easy & fun!
Is this Retreat for me if I am an intermediate surfer?
Yes! We split the groups into Beginners and Intermediate, so that everyone gets to progress in their own best way. Lombok has waves for all levels. At the end of the week we eventually join both together - best times!
Can I bring my own board easily?
We usually use tiket.com to book domestic Indonesian flights. In case you want to use your own board, we suggest to book Garuda airways or City Link, as they include the transportation of the board in their price and are more reliable airlines. (Different for longboards! If you wish to bring your own longboard from Bali, you have to travel via Sea or fly into Lombok from Jakarta)
To bring boards via ferry or speedboat is the easiest & safest.
Is it save to travel Indonesia solo?
Absolutely ! Indonesia is one of the safest places to be travelling solo. Everyone is helpful, nice, caring and loving. Transport from place to place is also very easy (car's, busses, ferries, speedboats, gojek).
