Active Holiday in Bali: Training, Padel and Experiences

Want more than just sun and beach? Discover how you can combine exercise, paddle tennis, surfing and exciting experiences on an active holiday in Bali.

Dreaming of a holiday that combines sun, training and unforgettable experiences? Bali is one of the world’s best destinations for an active holiday – whether you love padel, yoga, surfing or hiking, or simply want to stay in shape while discovering something new. At ReadySetIsland we create active trips that give you more energy, not less.

Why choose an active holiday in Bali?

Bali is unique because the island combines a stable, warm climate all year, fantastic surroundings for outdoor training, a strong culture of health, wellbeing and balance, and a huge range of activities – from padel to volcano hikes. You can train hard in the morning, relax on the beach in the middle of the day and explore culture, food and nature in the afternoon.

Training in tropical surroundings

Training in Bali is something completely different from training at home. Many sessions take place outdoors with views of jungle, sea or rice fields, in warm, gentle conditions that help recovery – with good recovery options like saunas, ice baths and massage. Typical training includes functional training, strength and mobility, yoga and breathwork, and circuit training and bootcamps.

Padel in Bali – a growing trend

Padel has really taken off in Bali in recent years. In areas like Canggu, Ubud and Seminyak you’ll find modern padel centres with international coaches, top facilities and a social, welcoming atmosphere. Padel is perfect on holiday – intense training, lots of laughter and easy to join in, whatever your level. See the padel retreat →

Surfing, cycling and nature-based experiences

An active holiday in Bali isn’t just about training – it’s about experiences on the move. We like to combine training with surf lessons in Canggu or Uluwatu, a bike tour through the rice fields of Ubud, a sunrise trek on Mount Batur, snorkelling and island hopping to the Nusa islands, and rafting and canyoning in the jungle. These activities give you a raised pulse, a sense of achievement and memories for life.

An active holiday with balance

The great thing about Bali is that you don’t have to choose between hard training and relaxation. Many people book a spa or massage after their sessions, eat healthy local food and spend quiet afternoons by the pool or on the beach. The result is a holiday where you feel stronger, get new inspiration and come home with more energy than when you left.
