6-Day East Coast Surf & Yoga Retreat

at Point Break Yoga Loft · Arugam Bay

Retreat highlights

  • 4 surf sessions on the east coast's longer, more powerful waves
  • Sunrise and evening yoga bookending each surf day
  • 2 minutes' walk from Main Point
  • Timed to Arugam Bay's May–September season — the opposite of the south coast's calendar

Is this retreat for you?

Good fit if
  • You want yoga built around surfing, not the other way around
  • You're chasing Arugam Bay's surf window, in season when the south coast isn't
  • You're comfortable with a rustic, no-frills open-air setup
Look elsewhere if
  • You're a complete surf beginner looking for the gentlest possible waves — the south coast is more forgiving
  • You want a polished, resort-style retreat experience
  • You want meditation or breathwork as the main focus

  • Shared accommodation
  • Breakfast daily
  • 4 surf sessions
  • Sunrise + evening yoga
What to bring
  • Rash guard and reef-safe sunscreen

Capacity
6–14 guests

An open-air loft two minutes from Main Point, built for the east coast's surf-first crowd — sunrise yoga before the wind picks up, and a slower evening class for stretching out a day of longer, more powerful surf than the south coast offers. Rustic, unpolished, and priced accordingly.
