Where is the best place to learn surfing in Bali as a beginner?

In Nusa Dua, near the Hyatt hotel, there's a board rental with an instructor located between the two 'peninsulas.' Wave size should be checked on-site as they can be bigger this season. Many beginners instead choose the Kuta-Seminyak area, which has plenty of surf schools for any level.

Near the Paradisus by Melia hotel, between the two 'peninsulas,' there are several surf schools right on the beach. Conditions are usually fine for beginners and intermediate surfers in the low season, but waves can get bigger during certain months — best to check conditions in person before booking.
