Sōleïa Surf Academy Bali: Become an ISA-Certified Surf Instructor in Paradise

Surf Academy

Stop plateauing. Start progressing. Join Bali’s only ISA-certified Surf Academy and unlock your true surf potential.

Most surfers never break past the early-intermediate stage. Why? Because their only options are surf camps that only scratch the surface—or retreats that cost a fortune. Sōleïa Surf Academy Bali is different: we combine expert coaching, proven methods, and lasting results at unrivalled value.

Surf progression isn’t luck—it’s training, coaching, and commitment. And we deliver all three, backed by years of experience and results. Our immersive, results-driven program is open to all levels. With ISA-certified coaching, you’ll train daily in Bali’s dynamic waves, benefit from in-depth video analysis, focused surf theory, and personalized feedback. It’s a complete, hands-on approach that ensures measurable progress.

If you’re ready to commit, we’re ready to take your surfing further. Choose a 4, 8, or 12-week stay and experience real transformation—building skills, confidence, and connection within a community that values dedication. For those aiming to go professional, our program also prepares you for the internationally recognized ISA Level 1 Surf Instructor certification.

Welcome to Soleia Surf Academy Bali—where commitment creates results, and your next level begins.

Our Trips

Included Surftrips

Every month, discover a new island with epic waves, from hidden jungle gems accessible by jeep to world-renowned beaches just steps from your accommodation. Get ready to surf legendary breaks in Java and G-Land, discover hidden gems in Lombok, and ride crystal-clear swells in Nusa Lembongan.

Lombok

Bali’s closest neighbor to the east is a booming destination for surfers. From the gentle waves of Tanjung Aan to the often challenging breaks of Ekas, great surf is just a short boat ride from shore!

G-land & Red Island

Quiet lineups and perfect waves await you in the Javanese jungle. Hop in the jeeps, watch out for low-hanging branches, and discover why the World Surf League often makes a stop here.

Nusa Lembongan

Small in size but big on surf, Nusa Lembongan is famed for its variety of reef breaks. There are no beach breaks here—only crystal-clear waves breaking over vibrant coral reefs. You’ll find inviting spots like Playgrounds, as well as more challenging ones such as Razors and Lacerations. And the experience often includes sightings of dolphins and manta rays.
