The tour

This stay is based in Ahangama, on Sri Lanka’s south coast, in a surf house two minutes from Kabalana beach, one of the island’s best-known surf spots. The waves range from a beach break for beginners to a reef break for experienced surfers.

The days follow a simple rhythm: yoga in the morning on the villa rooftop, looking out to sea, then surfing with a team of coaches, in group lessons for beginners or coaching sessions for those who already have the basics. The rest of the time, you explore hidden beaches, head up Coconut Tree Hill, watch the sun go down and share a barbecue night at the villa.

It suits adults, young travellers and families who want to learn to surf or improve without giving up on calm, at the easy pace of the south coast.

What makes it different

  • Five surf lessons and three guided sessions
  • Five yoga sessions on the villa rooftop
