July is the heart of our WA winter, however more locally it falls within the Noongar season of Makuru, the season of fertility, where fire becomes more important and it’s the time to move inland. For us, the inner fire needs nourishing, it its a time to be more inward and is the perfect time to restore and redirect your energies. By carving out a day for contemplation and reflection, we can harness the natural tendencies of this season and fulfil the mind-body requirements for a cycle of activity and rest.
Join Shawn Taylor and Donna Buchanan for an amazing surf and yoga filled week in Lombok at Xanadu Surf & Yoga Boutique. Xanadu is A luxury eco-friendly surf and yoga retreat with a down-to-island vibe. With elevated views over the dazzling Kuta Bay and modern amenities, this architecturally-designed space has all the trappings of a luxury surf resort but with a warm, cozy vibe. It’s perfect for surfers seeking pampering in a glamorous tropical setting. Catering to all surfing levels, come and learn to surf or if you’re a veteran come and hop on some of Lomboks finest waves!
Yoga sessions with ocean views? That’s a yes! We’re talking vaulted ceilings, natural sunlight and a design that blends the outdoor with the indoor – the traditional with the modern. All lessons are included in your package and the studio is equipped with everything you need from mats to bolsters, straps and even balance boards and Swiss balls. Travel light!
Word on the street is that learning to surf ain’t easy. We aim to change that by running fun and thoughtful surf lessons. Expect to surf for roughly 2 hours daily with anywhere from 20 minutes to 50 minutes of travel time total to and from our mellow, uncrowded and forgiving beginner-friendly island breaks. For the experienced surfers, you’ll go off to chase barrels, reef and point breaks.
Xanadu’s restaurant is more than just a place to refuel after a surf. With a variety of seasonal lunch and dinner options plus homemade sourdough bread, pasta and peanut butter, everything they prepare is done with love. Enjoy delicious meals suitable for a variety of dietary requirements and a luxury dining experience with a Lombok twist.
Deliberate cold exposure can increase energy and focus, builds resilience & grit, enhances your mood (it sounds crazy, but it’s true!), increases metabolism and speeds up physical recovery. Our 2-hour ice immersion & breathwork workshop will teach you how to use the ice bath in the most effective way and how to prepare your body and mind for it. It will give you great foundations to be able to continue the ice immersion journey on your own later on.
Be prepared to leave with a PhD in chillaxing thanks to Xanadu’s infinity pool and lounge area. Kick back and lap up that Lombok sun or stretch out in the shade on our comfy sofa beds. It’s a great place to relax or mingle with other enlightened folks from around the world. Chill, sleep, swim, repeat. Not bad, right?
