6-Day Horseshoe Bay Yoga Week

at Hiri Cove Yoga Shala · Hiriketiya

Retreat highlights

  • Twice-daily yoga in an open-air shala overlooking the horseshoe bay
  • One guided surf session included on Hiriketiya's beginner-friendly break
  • Capped at 10 participants — genuinely small-group
  • Walking distance to the bay's cafés and beach

Is this retreat for you?

Good fit if
  • You want a boutique, small-group retreat rather than a large program
  • You'd like one guided surf session included without a surf-camp-level commitment
  • You're happy in a compact, walkable beach town
Look elsewhere if
  • You want multiple daily surf sessions — see our surf-focused retreats instead
  • You need a larger group / social retreat format
  • You want air-conditioned indoor studio space — this is open-air

Capacity
4–10 guests

A small open-air shala overlooking Hiriketiya's horseshoe bay, capped deliberately at 10 participants to match the town's boutique, low-key character. Morning yoga, easy access to the bay's beginner-friendly surf, and none of the scale of the bigger retreat centers further along the coast.

Hiriketiya

Dickwella Beach
10–15 min walk / 5 min tuk-tuk
Kudawella Beach
10 min tuk-tuk
Hummanaya Blowhole
15–20 min tuk-tuk
Mulkirigala Rock Temple
35–40 min tuk-tuk

A working fishing village until recently, not a purpose-built retreat destination — which is why the horseshoe bay still feels like a real place, not a stage set.
