Pondok Pitaya is the original surf and yoga hotel at Balian Beach on Bali’s west coast, sitting right at the river-mouth break with the waves visible from the rooms. Two traditional Javanese timber shalas host daily yoga classes open to guests and drop-in visitors, one opening directly onto the beach and the other onto the garden, and yoga teacher trainings are held here regularly. With a beachfront pool, restaurant, and spa, it works as a self-contained base for a week combining surf, yoga, and full-body rest, well suited to those who can’t choose between the water and the mat.
