Outer Reef Surf Camp Green Bowl is all about great waves, relaxed living and an unforgettable Bali setting. Based on the Bukit Peninsula, the camp sits above the famous Green Bowl surf break, putting consistent, world class waves just minutes from where you wake up.
The cliffside camp offers a calm, comfortable base between surf sessions, with shared rooms or private suites, open social spaces and ocean views stretching out over the Indian Ocean. Whether you’re rinsing off after a session, relaxing by the pool or swapping surf stories at sunset, this is Bali surf life done the Outer Reef way.
Flexibility where it matters
After years of running surf trips and camps, we’ve learned that keeping things simple works best. At Outer Reef Surf Camp Green Bowl, we offer one carefully designed option: the Surf and Yoga package. It brings together guided surf sessions or lessons, space to recover, and time to enjoy Bali properly, without overloading the schedule.
This package is built to suit surfers who want structure where it counts, flexibility where it matters, and plenty of time in and out of the water. Good waves, balanced days, and a rhythm that lets you progress while still switching off.
Designed to be comfortable
Accommodation designed to be comfortable, relaxed and suited to how you want to travel. Whether you’re coming solo, as a couple or with friends, there’s a range of options that let you settle in and feel at home between surf sessions.
Choose from shared rooms or private spaces, all set within a cliffside camp surrounded by gardens and ocean views. Every room is air conditioned and mosquito safe, with plenty of communal areas to unwind after surfing, plus access to the infinity pool overlooking the coastline.
Private Suites

Shared Twin Fin Suites
Meet our Shared Suites in Green Bowl: with a spectacular design, this Javanese bungalow has its own entrance, in the middle of our beautiful surf resort. It also features a private sun terrace with stunning views over the ocean. Although it’s a shared suite, it still allows you to have a lot of privacy.
Set high on the cliffs of Bali’s Bukit Peninsula, overlooking one of the island’s most consistent and respected surf zones. This is a place shaped by surf rhythms, warm weather and wide open views, where days revolve around tides, swell and slowing down between sessions.
The camp itself is designed to feel open and relaxed rather than busy or over programmed. Built into the cliffside, it blends local Balinese character with practical comfort, creating an easy base for surf focused days. From early mornings heading to the beach to slow afternoons by the pool, everything is set up to support time in the water and proper recovery afterwards.
Communal spaces are at the heart of the camp. Open terraces, shaded seating areas and the infinity pool overlooking the Indian Ocean give you space to stretch out, connect with others, or switch off entirely. Whether you’re reviewing footage from a surf session, heading to yoga, or watching the light change at sunset, the atmosphere stays laid back and unforced.
Green Bowl is known for its quality waves and quieter feel, and the camp reflects that. It suits surfers who want progression without pressure, structure without rigidity, and a setting that feels grounded rather than polished. This is Bali surf life with breathing room, run in a way that prioritises good experiences over ticking boxes.

Surfing at Green Bowl is about quality waves, and choosing the right spot for the day. Set on Bali’s southern Bukit Peninsula, this stretch of coastline offers everything from mellow learner friendly waves to fast, hollow reef breaks, all within easy reach of the camp.
Rather than sticking to fixed schedules or a single beach, surf sessions are planned around daily conditions. Swell, wind, and tides decide where and when you surf, allowing each session to make the most of what the ocean is offering. With some of Bali’s most iconic breaks nearby, the focus is always on finding waves that suit your level while keeping the experience relaxed, uncrowded, and enjoyable.
Green Bowl itself is a naturally secluded beach, tucked beneath limestone cliffs and surrounded by jungle. Its remote setting means fewer surfers and a calmer atmosphere, creating the perfect environment to learn, progress, or simply enjoy surfing away from the crowds. From here, a wide variety of breaks across the Bukit and surrounding coastline are easily accessible, giving plenty of options throughout the week.
Whether you’re stepping onto a board for the first time or looking to push your surfing further, the approach blends structured coaching with local knowledge and thoughtful guidance, helping you surf confidently, safely, and at the right pace for you.
Surf sessions are planned around swell, tides and daily conditions to make sure you’re surfing the right waves at the right time. Depending on your level, sessions run once or twice per day and include beach briefings, in water coaching and time to practise independently. Group sizes are kept small to allow for personal feedback, clear communication and a relaxed pace in the water.
The focus is on quality sessions rather than packing the day, leaving space to recover, reflect and enjoy the wider camp experience.
Sessions are led by experienced coaches and local surf guides with deep knowledge of the Bukit Peninsula. Coaching is calm, supportive and practical, with a strong emphasis on safety, positioning and decision making in the water.
Coaches and guides work closely together, sharing feedback on surfer progression throughout the week. This allows your level to adapt naturally as your confidence and ability improve.
Progression is steady and realistic, with coaching tailored to each surfer’s ability and goals. In the water, coaches focus on wave reading, positioning and technique, while weekly surf theory and video analysis sessions help reinforce learning and accelerate improvement.
Support is consistent without being overwhelming, allowing surfers to progress at their own pace.
Surfboards are included during coached lesson sessions only. For surf guiding sessions, board rental is not included, however a wide range of boards is available to hire at the camp.
The board quiver includes fibreglass boards from 5’10” up to 9’4”, as well as soft tops. Coaches and guides are happy to help you choose the right board to match your ability, the conditions and your progression goals.
