Sri Lanka
A PLACE OF AWAKENING
Bathed in warm Indian Ocean current, and with nearly 1600 kilometres of palm-fringed coastline, Sri Lanka is an incredible surf destination. The East Coast’s surf hub is centred around the legendary point break of Arugam Bay, which is best in the Southern Hemisphere winter. The opposite coast, and its best waves near the town of Hikkaduwa, light up in summer. The great surf is accessorised by fertile wetlands, mysterious forests, mountains, rivers, wildlife and cascading waterfalls. Add the inspiring food, historical and religious sites and a culture rich in tradition and Sri Lanka becomes less of a surf trip and more of an awakening.

Location
Soul & Surf - Tekanda Retreat
Ahangama, South West Coast
Tekanda offers a special soulful all-inclusive surf, yoga & therapy experience for our guests. The retreat has amazing architecture and is set in a jaw-dropping location only 5 mins ride to the the surfing beach. The team love the beach, love to surf and spend as much time as they can covered in sand and salt.
But it is also really, really nice to get a little change of scenery after our beach times and see the other side of this lush, biodiverse country. And you do not need to go very far to see it.
Head inland from Kabalana Beach and in a few minutes you are surrounded by the trees, paddy fields and nature. Palm trees, yes, but the other, diverse tropical rainforest lowlands too.
From the retreat, you can see one of our favourite places, Koggala Lake, and even spy the Indian Ocean.
