Surf & yoga retreats in Sri Lanka providing our guests a glimpse into the tropical soulful surfing life that we cherish. We host our luxury surf and yoga retreats at a beautiful new eco-lodge, set in the low hills where the only things you can hear are birds, monkeys and our excellent musical selections. Perfect for a secluded, luxury, all-inclusive retreat.
Whether it is your first surf or you are a seasoned ol’ sea dog, our Soul of Surfing sessions are designed for all levels, depending on numbers we can run four different sessions with a different focus.
We run surf lessons through Levels 1 – 4 plus our Soul of Surfing workshops, where we go deeper on soul of surfing topics, which provide an added element of theory. We also offer four video analysis sessions through the week, and offer you technical, actionable surf coaching, whatever your level.
Plus, if you really want to go deep into a practice you can pay extra and attend our extra studio classes too, as well as private one-to-one sessions – perfect if you’re a total newbie and want to nail the basics, or for yogis who need a bit of extra help to master a specific pose. The main challenge is trying to tear your gaze away from the ocean view.

Music is really important to us and so we make sure we bend and breathe whilst listening to some seriously good tunes – and all of this in the inspirational surroundings of south Sri Lanka.
In the busy season, we run daily morning and afternoon classes from our rooftop yoga shala, which you are more than welcome to join whether you are staying with us or staying elsewhere. Did we mention the sea view?
Each of our classes are open level, so no matter your experience, come along and feel free to do as much or as little as you like. Plus, you can hang out in our lush cafe, Canteen, after class.
The morning class is at 8.30am, and the afternoon session is at 5pm. If you are in the area for a while and plan to take more classes, you can pay for a Yoga Week to save some pennies.
Either pay in cash directly to the teacher or at reception if you would like to pay with a card.
We provide yoga mats but feel free to bring your own if you prefer.
Our therapist can then create a treatment for you, combining intuitive contact, body awareness, breathwork and connecting with the moment – to look after your whole body in a gentle, caring way.
And if you’re just wanting to soothe your tired surf & yoga limbs and muscles, we can obviously help you out with that too.
Everyone can benefit from our therapies. It is useful in especially difficult periods of your life, can help with every-day stress and physical fatigue – and is highly recommended for most of us city folk who tend to live out of kilter with our bodies.
Our onsite cafe is called Canteen - good vibes, good food and right on the beach in Ahangama. The defining moments of many people’s stay at Soul & Surf over the years have been the communal, post surf/yoga, meals with like-minded folk round a big table.
