The south of Sri Lanka is a perfect tourism destination, especially if you like surfing and yoga.  Sri Lanka surf and yoga retreats are a great option, especially if you enjoy all-inclusive, no-worries travel.  With many different surf and yoga retreat options, it can be hard to decide which retreat to book.  Here is our guide comparing the 5 best Sri Lanka surf and yoga retreats!

Weligama Surf Yoga Retreat:

Offering all-inclusive week-long surf and yoga retreats based in Weligama, these retreats are held at an amazing colonial villa in the jungle near the town.  Included are four surf lessons, eight yoga practices, breathwork meditation sessions, two daily meals with private chefs, a cooking class, and charity give-back days.  They also take you on a safari through Udawalawe National Park which is packed full of wild elephants and other beautiful creatures.  A great value for seeing a lot without needing to plan anything.  We also like how everyone starts and finishes the experience together, allowing you to make deep, lasting friendships.

Surf & Yoga Mirissa:

Weeklong packages include six surf sessions, six yoga classes, one massage, and daily breakfast.  A bonus is the friendly local owners and delicious Ahimsa Vegan Cafe (extra cost but worth it) located on the property. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, quietly nestled away from the main road.  Other packages and longer stays are available on their website.  Less all-inclusive but better for more independent travelers.

Weeklong package price: $555 USD

For a more luxury option, enjoy Soul & Surf’s new and modern rooms and beautiful swimming pool.  Included in a one-week stay are three meals per day, seven yoga sessions, ten surf outings, two meditation sessions, a guided SUP adventure and more.  Great if you want to spend your time relaxing in one place; the downside is that it’s a little off the main drag.  Oh, and the swimming pool is a nice bonus.

Weeklong price: ~ $1,500 USD for a shared room – $2,500 for a luxury private room.  Check their website for options and availability.  Prices lower in off season (May-November).
