LMBK Surf House (Lombok)
Just a short hop from Bali, Lombok is known for its uncrowded waves, breathtaking landscapes, and relaxed island pace, and LMBK Surf House captures it all perfectly. This boutique surf stay combines modern, stylish design with a warm community feel, making it the ideal home base for surfers and travellers alike. You can expect expert surf guiding, shared family-style dinners, and immersive island adventures that go beyond the waves.
Whether you’re looking to improve your surfing skills with personalised coaching, or simply soak up Lombok’s unique culture, LMBK offers the best of both worlds. Plus, its central location means you can easily walk to cafes, beaches, and local hotspots. For a mix of surf progression, connection, and island living, LMBK Surf House is a must-stay in Lombok. 
Xanadu Surf & Women’s Soulful Surf Retreats (Lombok)
Xanadu Surf Retreats combines boutique-style accommodation with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. While open to everyone, what truly stands out are the Women’s Soulful Surf Retreats, a thoughtfully curated experience where women from around the world gather to surf, connect, and grow in an uplifting community. Days here flow with surf sessions, meaningful conversations, and space for rest and reflection. Whether you join a retreat or simply stay at Xanadu, you’ll leave feeling both inspired and recharged. We recommend Xanadu for travellers seeking deeper connections, a beautifully organised holiday, and a balance of surfing, wellness, and soulful living.
Why We Love These Surf Experiences
Each of these surf camps and retreats offers something different: from the vibrant party energy of Elsewhere, to the soulful women’s surf retreats at Xanadu, the boutique island charm of LMBK Surf House, and the balance of surf + wellness at Cari Surf. They all share one thing in common: a love for the ocean and creating spaces where surfers can thrive.
At Elation, we design pieces made for this lifestyle, for travellers, surfers, and free spirits who want to look and feel good both in and out of the water.
