7-Day Surf & Yoga Week

at Salt & Sun Surf Yoga · Weligama

Retreat highlights

  • 5 surf lessons on Sri Lanka's most beginner-friendly bay
  • Board rental included for the full week
  • Daily yoga timed around the tide, not competing with surf time
  • Social, casual atmosphere — easy to meet the wider surf-camp crowd

Is this retreat for you?

Good fit if
  • You're a true beginner and want the most forgiving bay to learn on
  • You want a social, casual retreat rather than a quiet, introspective one
  • You're staying a full week and want daily practice, not a one-off session
Look elsewhere if
  • You're an experienced surfer looking for a challenge — Weligama's break is deliberately gentle
  • You want a quiet, low-key retreat — this is Weligama's busier surf-town energy
  • You want private accommodation — this is shared

  • Breakfast daily
  • 5 surf lessons
  • Daily yoga class
  • Board rental
What to bring
