Surf and Stay in Canggu: Find Your Perfect Wave, Then Come Home to Calm at Masmara

Canggu has long been Bali’s surf haven, a place where salty mornings meet laid-back afternoons, and life flows at a rhythm set by the tides. But after chasing waves, where you choose to stay matters just as much as where you surf. If you’re looking to surf and stay in Canggu, there’s a quiet corner near Pererenan Beach that blends coastal adventure with boutique calm: Masmara Resort.

Surfing in Canggu: From Beginner Swells to Longboard Paradise

Canggu’s coastline is dotted with world-class surf breaks, each with its own personality:

  • Pererenan Beach – Just a 2-minute walk from Masmara, this black-sand beach is less crowded than Echo or Batu Bolong. It’s a favorite for intermediate to advanced surfers chasing clean, powerful waves.
  • Echo Beach – A 10-minute stroll down the shore, Echo is known for its consistent breaks and vibrant surfer crowd.
  • Old Man’s Beach – Ideal for beginners or longboarders, with soft rolling waves and surf schools nearby.

Whether you’re bringing your board or renting locally, you’ll find surf-ready conditions almost year-round — especially from May to October when the dry season brings offshore winds and glassy mornings.

Where to Stay: Why Masmara is Different

After sunrise surf sessions or long salty afternoons, you don’t want to return to chaos or cookie-cutter hotels. You want space to breathe. At Masmara, we’ve designed that space for you.

  • Boutique experience – Just steps from the waves, but miles away from the noise. Masmara offers Deluxe Double and Twin rooms (43m²) with wood-accented interiors, natural light, and private terraces.
  • Jungle-style pool – Ideal for a post-surf dip surrounded by tropical greens.
  • Eco-conscious & minimalist – We don’t do floating breakfasts or spa fluff. Instead, we focus on sustainability, simplicity, and thoughtful design.
  • Kilo Kitchen Pererenan – Located onsite, this local-favorite restaurant serves fresh, modern dishes perfect for refueling after a session.

The Balance of Surf & Stillness

Surf trips are more than just chasing waves. They’re a chance to recalibrate — to enjoy Bali’s rhythm without being swept up in the crowds. Masmara offers just that balance.

Wake up with the sound of the sea. Walk to the beach with your board under arm. Return for an outdoor shower, breakfast at Kilo, and an afternoon nap in a sun-drenched room. It’s surfing, but slower. Intentional.
