the retreat.

Lanka Surf House is a boutique surf and yoga retreat in Weligama, on Sri Lanka's South Coast.

More than a surf camp, it's a place designed for people who want to spend a week surfing, eating well, slowing down, and connecting with others.

Every stay includes surf coaching, yoga, brunches, dinners four times a week, comfortable accommodations, and plenty of time to enjoy the pool, rooftop, and jungle surroundings. Prefer to go at your own pace? We also offer accommodation-only stays from 4 nights, with surf and yoga sessions available as add-ons.

Whether you're travelling solo, with friends, or as a couple, everything is designed to make your week effortless from the moment you arrive.

Lanka Surf House is located in Pitiduwa, a peaceful village in the hills above Weligama, on Sri Lanka's South Coast.

We're just ten minutes from some of the area's best surf breaks, cafés, restaurants, and beaches, while being away from the traffic and noise of the main tourist strip.

Surrounded by jungle with views stretching towards the ocean, the house offers a quieter side of Weligama without being far from everything.

We open in October 2026.

Public stays start from November — our very first days are reserved for a private group.

Our first season runs from October 2026 through the end of May 2027, and we reopen end of July 2027.

Yes. Alongside our 7-night retreat, we offer accommodation-only stays from 4 nights, with surf and yoga sessions bookable as add-ons. You can book directly in our booking engine.

No specific fitness level required— surfing is for everyone. That said, it helps to come with an open mind and a willingness to get tired and laugh at yourself.

The first sessions are physically demanding in a good way: paddling works your shoulders and back, and popping up on the board takes coordination more than strength.

Most guests are surprised by how quickly they progress. Yoga sessions included in your stay complement your surfing perfectly — they help stretch and strengthen exactly the muscles you'll be working in the water.

Absolutely. Whether it's your first time on a board or you've surfed for years, sessions are adapted to your level. We start beginners in the right spots with the right boards, and the goal is always the same: help you feel comfortable in the water and enjoy your surf.

Yes. We have a quiver of shortboards and longboards, and Weligama, Midigama and Ahangama offer a range of breaks for every level. Video analysis and coaching help you keep progressing, whatever your style.

You don't need to be a strong swimmer, but you should be comfortable in the water. Surfing happens in shallow beach breaks where you can stand up most of the time — our instructors will always position you in spots that match your level.

If you have any concerns about the water, just let us know when you book and we'll make sure you feel safe and supported from day one.

Yes. We keep the same rates year-round — no peak pricing, no low-season discounts. What you see is what it costs, whenever you come.

We do offer an Early Bird rate at launch — 20% off for the first bookings — but this is a one-time offer on our opening, not a seasonal adjustment. Our base price stays the same throughout the season.

Book before August 31 and get 20% off your stay. Founding Guest pricing is available on a limited number of rooms per week — once those spots are gone, standard rates apply. It's the best time to lock in your week at the best price.
