Join us for sunrise SUP yoga while watching the sun rise behind the majestic Mount Rinjani, and have fun at Acro Jam every night, when the sun sets at the North of the island. Beach vibes, women’s circles, power yoga and contact improvisation – Can it get any better?

Yes, it actually can get even better! Many inspiring speakers will come to the island to share their knowledge on sustainability, upcycling, and zero waste; including fun and creative workshops, where you will be able to learn more about trash management and responsible living.
