What’s the difference between Xanadu Retreat and Xanadu Village?
Both Xanadu Retreat and Xanadu Village offer structured surf programs, but the properties, atmosphere, program options and inclusions are different. Xanadu Retreat is our flagship property, located in the hills above Kuta Lombok. It offers a more upscale, barefoot-chic retreat experience, combining surfing with wellness, recovery and a more extensive schedule of workshops and activities. At Xanadu Retreat, we offer: - Surf, Yoga & Wellness Retreats for Levels 1–3 - Advanced Surf Progression Week (Level 4) specifically designed for Level 4 surfers - Yoga Immersion Weeks for guests looking for a dedicated yoga experience The Surf, Yoga & Wellness and Advanced Surf Progression programs include daily surf coaching as well as yoga, surf mobility, surf theory, video analysis and additional workshops such as Surfer’s Mindset and our Coco Sambal workshop (for Level 1-3) or Flow Mechanics Surf Skate workshop (for Level 4). Guests also have complimentary access to the ice bath and infrared sauna. Meals at Xanadu Retreat include daily breakfast and lunch, a Welcome Dinner and a Farewell Dinner. Xanadu Village is our smaller, cosy property located in the centre of Kuta Lombok. It offers a surf-house atmosphere and is a great choice for guests who want to be within walking distance of Kuta’s restaurants, cafés and shops. At Xanadu Village, we offer: - Surf & Yoga Weeks for Levels 1–3 - Advanced Longboard Training Weeks, our special weeks dedicated to more experienced longboarders The Surf & Yoga Week includes daily surf coaching alongside yoga, surf theory and video analysis, but the program is less extensive than at Xanadu Retreat. Some of the additional workshops and wellness elements offered at the Retreat, such as Surfer’s Mindset and the Coco Sambal workshop, are not part of the regular Village program. Meals at Xanadu Village include daily breakfast, a Welcome Dinner and lunch during the weekly surf trip. Xanadu Retreat programs run Saturday to Saturday, while Xanadu Village programs run Sunday to Sunday. If you’re looking for our most comprehensive experience with more wellness, workshops, meals and facilities in a more upscale setting, Xanadu Retreat is our flagship experience. If you prefer a smaller, cosy surf-house atmosphere in the heart of Kuta with a program focused primarily on surfing and yoga, Xanadu Village is a great fit.
Xanadu VillageWhat room types are available at Xanadu Village?
Xanadu Village is a small, six-room property with a maximum of 12 guests. We offer both private and twin-share accommodation, subject to availability. This means you can choose your own room if you prefer more privacy, or book a shared room if you’re travelling solo and happy to share with another guest. For Shared Twin rooms at Xanadu Village we aim to pair the guests by gender but it may not always be possible. You can see the specific room categories, photos, prices and availability when booking your dates on our website.
Programs & What’s IncludedCan I arrive in the middle of the week?
Unfortunately, we can’t accommodate mid-week arrivals for our weekly programs. Our programs follow a structured schedule, with surfing, theory, workshops, video analysis and other activities taking place throughout the week. Arriving partway through means you would miss an important part of the program. For this reason, guests need to join on the designated check-in day and participate in the full weekly program.
