Pondok Pitaya

The original surf and yoga hotel at Balian Beach, Pondok Pitaya sits right at the river mouth break — the waves literally visible from the rooms. Two traditional Javanese timber shalas host daily yoga classes open to guests and drop-in visitors: one opens directly onto the beach, the other onto the garden. Yoga teacher trainings are held here regularly. The property also has a beachfront pool, restaurant, and spa, making it a self-contained base for a week combining surf, yoga, and full-body rest. Ideal for those who can’t choose between the water and the mat.
