The accommodation is clean and cozy, and I was lucky to get a room right in front of the pool. The people here are incredibly lovely and kind, making the whole experience even more special. I will absolutely come back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for progressive surf sessions in a small, peaceful village with long, smooth waves. Suitable for all levels, and hands down the best surf coaching in town – you’ll get full support both in the water and through video analysis to refine your technique by professional surfers. Huge thanks to Muklis, his team, and his family for making me feel so at home. Can’t wait to return!

Every staff member was friendly and always happy to help. I had an amazing time there surfing and just around the camp. There are two amazing restaurants right next to the camp, perfect for after surf snacks. The room and the area was clean. Would recommend to everyone. Thanks again Muklis!

My favorite place ever. Location is incredible, long ride to get there but so so worth it. Chill, beautiful, great food. There are a couple really great restaurants just 5 minute walk from the camp, and some good ones down at the beach as well. The rooms were very nice, they actually upgraded me when I arrived which was very kind. The family and coaches are so cool & make you feel at home. Surfing / lessons are well worth the price and they take you to a good spot. Definitely recommend!

The surfcamp and the people there make you feel like at home. Very friendly, always ready to help and the best crew. The surf lessons + the video analysis are the best way to improve. One thing is how you feel out in the water and then how the reality in the videos is. So the videos + their comments totally help to improve your surfing. On top of that, they have a large variety of boards that definitely help to get better in your surfing. As I said, it was not a goodbye but a see you soon! Terima kasih! 🙏

Everything was perfect

I had the best week stay here with Muklis and the crew, they are so welcoming, supportive and knowledgeable. If you really want to improve your surfing in a short period of time this is the place for you!!

How hard it is to say goodbye and leave ☹️

We stayed for about 10 days in Medewi, but I feel like we could’ve stayed for months ! Everything is made so that you’d really feel at home in the camp, and it truly makes it seem that way ! I even got the chance to celebrate my birthday during a surf trip to Java, which I am so thankful for, it was everything I could’ve ever dreamed of ! Medewi was definitely the highlight of the few months we spent in Indonesia, and I can’t wait to be back again. I am so grateful to have met all these wonderful people and to have lived these unforgettable moments, in and out of the water. In terms of surfing, Muklis and the rest of the team really push you and challenge you, whatever your level is. Bringing back some of the good vibes back home to France, and I’ll see you next time 🤙 Thank you guys for everything, love you ❤️❤️❤️

Having to leave to go home.

At the Secret Surf Camp you feel part of the family as you are staying in Muklis home. I stayed for three weeks and loved every minute and hope to return next year. The highlight was a trip to Java which was really special. Good vibes sums up the camp really well. Soleh and team (Arman,Aldi,Adi,Daffa, Firman and Ryan) are the most positive people I’ve met in a while. They are always happy, do not stop laughing and smiling and are great to be around. I must have been the oldest surfer they’ve had at the camp for a while but I felt really safe in the line up with the guys and loved being there. Just being out in the water was amazing. Soleh in particular is an awesome guide and found me some great waves over the last few weeks (long and mellow) which matched my ability. I met some great people and felt really welcome at the camp. Muklis laugh is infectious and I felt privileged to be there. If you are thinking about visiting,do it. Would I return, yes in a heartbeat! Thanks guys for everything 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

There was no hot water on the day that I arrived. Although it was fixed the next day after I reported, it could have been checked prior to my check in.

The staff and the surf vibe. The lessons and guidance of the surf instructors. Location close to restaurants offering local and western healthy food.

Nothing!

Muklis and the crew are the best! We stayed for a week and we can’t wait to visit next time. The surf coaching and video analysis were amazing- they know what they’re doing, gave valuable feedback, and the waves were so good. They are also some of the nicest and kindest people you’ll meet. The house was clean and it was a great place to hangout and meet other like-minded surfers and travelers. Overall vibe was great, would 1000% recommend!

The good vibes of everybody around! Great for surfing and meeting like-minded people.

Nothing - it was all incredible!

This is the most incredible place you will ever stay. My partner and I originally planned to stay here for one week but extended our stay to 10 days, and then came back again a few weeks later bringing a friend this time. It really is a home away from home. The guides are amazing, the people you will meet at the camp will be incredible, and it was the highlight of our trip. Thanks so much to everyone - We already can’t wait to go back again!

The rooms are a bit dark and the bathrooms are basic - but perfectly adequate for the type of stay we had in mind. If you are aware of this when booking, then you should not be disappointed. We were there solely for the surfing; if you want to go to Medewi for other purposes then this surf camp is probably not the place for you. (There are some fancier places closer to the beach that have pools and sun-loungers, etc., if that's what you are looking for.)

Medewi Secret Surf Camp is great. In terms of the accommodation, it is basic - but comfortable. (This is reflected in the price.) The location is about ten or fifteen minutes' walk from the main road, from which you can access the beach and other places with cafes, etc. (There are a couple of other eateries nearer to the surf camp.) We were able to get a scooter (for a modest fee) for the week that we stayed, and this is basically essential to get around the area. (If you can't ride a scooter - or happily be a passenger on a scooter - then this may not be the best place for you to stay.) Participating in the surf camp sessions, and the associated video reviews, was super easy and the additional cost was modest. The area has different breaks, and the guides were able to identify suitable spots each day, depending on the swell and the ability of the participants.

Cost space, comfortable and filled with amazing people!

Getting pushed into a wave has nothing to do with surfing and doesn't make you a better surfer. Instructors who do that should be ashamed. Especially as a former professional surfer, you should know better. Instruct people to look more closely at the peak (wave), position yourself, paddle, read the wave, look for the currents, priorities, etc. That makes you a better surfer.

Accomodation, Java trip, social.

I usually ride longboards, but many travelers ride shortboards here

I'm staying at Medewe Secret SurfCamp to surf alone. I was going to stay for a week, but the waves are so nice and all the staff are kind, so I decided to stay for another 3 weeks

Perfect host(s) and the best atmosphere there is. Such experienced surfers and lovely people

Only a few things to add would make it perfect: a mosquito net in the rooms and some better condition skates for the bowl.

The owner has amazing surf knowledge and is super friendly as well as all the staff! Place where you can improve your surfing, relax, hangout, skate…really nice and totally recommended! They have good boards to rent which also makes a difference!
