Longboard & Free (E)Motion
Lombok, Island East of Bali
09.03.24 to 16.03.24
About the retreat:
LONGBOARD & FREE (E)MOTION
In the warm waves and under the bright sun of Lombok, we go on a journey that combines Longboard surfing and the rhythmic movements of our bodies. Here we discover the similarities that unite these two beautiful forms of movement. In this retreat, we dive into the lightness of both Longboard surfing and movement therapy, immersing ourselves in the freedom of self-expression. The simplicity of movement and the joy it brings with it. Whether we are gracefully riding the waves or dancing on the dance floor, we are united by the shared experience of being one with our bodies and the world around us.
At our Longboard Surf & Free (E)Motion Retreat we will not only spend a lot of time playing in the ocean and riding waves, but also dive deep into our emotions and the way we express through the movement therapy workshops by Ana Belen Martos. With this retreat, we want to share with you our passion for surfing, travelling and the way we see life so you can have a truly beautiful transformation, while sharing this experience with other incredible women.
RETRAT DETAILS:
THE LOCATION
With divine beaches, the majestic Mt Rinjani and spectacular marine life to discover, the island of Lombok (East of Bali) has no shortage of attractions both in and out of the water.
Our retreat is located in Kuta, 5 minutes by motorbike to get to the cafes, shops and restaurants. We fell in love of Lombok because it has both experiences: the convenience of tourism (but less crowded than Bali) and also the local culture still intact.
The waves during March are way less crowded and with no wind. The best time of the year to avoid busy line-ups and surf amazing longboard waves with beautiful landscapes.
We encourage you to discover your own serendipity and we are excited and happy to share our slice of paradise with you.

How do I get to the retreat?
By Plane:
The easiest way to get to Lombok is by plane to the International Airport Lombok in Mataram. Whether you book your flight to Jakarta or Denpasar/Bali and get a connection flight to LBK Lombok Airport.
By Boat:
If you are a more advanced traveler and you might spend some days before the start of the retreat in Bali, Nusa Lembongan or the Gili Islands, you can reach Lombok also by Fast Boat or the Local Ferry. This option is cheaper than flying, but requires more time of travelling. You can find several Boat operates online which are usually leaving from Bali/Sanur Harbour, Bali/Serangan Port or Bali/Padang Bai – depending on the company.
From the Harbour in Lombok, which will be most likely Bangsal Harbour or Lembar Harbour, you can take a taxi or book a transfer in advanced. The price from the Harbour to the retreat in Kuta is around 450,000 IDR – 500,000 IDR (30€ – 35€).
By Taxi:
You can either book a private transfer with us in advance or take one of the many reliable taxi services at the Airport of Lombok. The general price from the airport to our retreat location in Kuta is 150,000 IDR – 200,000 IDR (9€ – 12€). The drive will take around 30 min, depending on traffic.
