    Fantastic Surf Retreat Experience

    I participated in the surf retreat during the first week of December, and it was an overall 10/10 experience. The location by the ocean is perfect, everything is spotless, and the staff is incredibly professional from start to finish. Everything is meticulously organized. The food is amazing. The surf lessons are well-structured, and the coaches are truly excellent. We surfed twice daily with a highly skilled team. I can't stress enough how fantastic Justin is as a coach; he has positively transformed my view on surfing forever. Choosing Soul & Surf was definitely the right decision, as the retreat felt like home. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Sri Lanka.

    Great surf and yoga retreat

    I highly recommend this spot for anyone seeking a well-organized surf and yoga getaway in Sri Lanka. Location: This place is perfectly situated right on the beach. The facilities might not be ultra-modern, but that adds to the relaxed vibe. The views, especially from the yoga shala, are stunning. A major highlight is their own surf spot, The Cove, which is truly a hidden treasure 💎. Surfing: Each day kicked off at 6:15am with a morning surf session, followed by video analysis after breakfast. We had both beginner and intermediate groups heading to different surf locations. I really appreciated our surf coaches, particularly Justin and Sangeeth. Yoga: The daily yoga sessions were fantastic for easing sore muscles, thanks to Rosi's excellent instruction. Plus, the views from the rooftop shala were one-of-a-kind. Food: We enjoyed three meals a day, all of which were incredibly tasty. From modern dishes to local curry and rice, everything was delicious. The bar and kitchen team, led by Janith, were very attentive and friendly. Team: Perhaps the best aspect of this place is the strong sense of team spirit. Everyone, from the management to the surf and yoga instructors, and the bar and kitchen staff to those capturing our moments on video, genuinely ensured we had a fantastic experience. It’s truly a special spot!

    Great surf experience with lovely staff

    I had a wonderful time at Soul & Surf, so much so that I decided to extend my stay! The surf instructors were excellent, and I gained a lot from the video analysis and theory sessions with Justin. I truly valued Justin's holistic approach to teaching surfing, which left me with a deeper understanding of what it means to be a surfer. The daily yoga sessions were also fantastic, and I appreciated how the classes were adjusted to fit our feelings each day. The food and location were both outstanding, but what stood out most was the kindness of everyone working at Soul & Surf, creating a really special atmosphere. I hope I can return soon!

    Exceptional Surf and Yoga Retreat Experience

    My boyfriend and I participated in the Soul and Surf Sri Lanka retreat, and it was fantastic from beginning to end. The care and attention provided by Justin and the surf team—Ashan, Hollie, Miles, Sangeeth, Pubudu, and Sanju—were outstanding. You can really sense the passion that flows through the entire team. As a first-time surfer, I felt very safe and supported in the water, which enhanced the experience even more. The yoga sessions were also wonderful. Led by Lara and Rosie, they perfectly complemented the surfing schedule, allowing us time to stretch, recover, and unwind. The food was not only delicious but also thoughtfully prepared to accommodate various dietary needs, which we truly appreciated. The setting is stunning, providing a serene escape from the vibrant energy of Ahangama. Justin, the surf coach, deserves special recognition. His enthusiasm, care, and genuine love for surfing are contagious. He is an exceptional leader, highly knowledgeable, and fully committed to ensuring everyone enjoys the best possible experience. Honestly, we couldn't find any faults. It was a remarkable retreat, and we left feeling inspired, rejuvenated, and eager to continue surfing.

    Great surfing and yoga experience

    I was really excited about my stay at Soul & Surf, especially since it came highly recommended by friends. I chose this camp to enhance my surfing skills and explore different breaks, and it coincided with my birthday week, making it even more special to combine surfing and yoga with an ocean view. Overall, my experience was fantastic. The first couple of days had a bit less energy due to a large event over the weekend, which they had kindly informed us about. The Sri Lankan surf instructors were outstanding; they were calm, encouraging, attentive while we were in the water, and genuinely invested in helping each of us improve. I found the head coach's communication style a bit challenging at times, but we had a chance to discuss it, which was helpful. Despite this, it was evident that he was dedicated to pushing the group and put a lot of effort into coaching. His passion for the ocean was truly contagious, and he selected great topics for our theory sessions. The group dynamic was fantastic. I was fortunate to spend the week with some amazing people, and I loved being in the water together every day. The yoga sessions were also excellent. Rosy and Lara created a wonderful atmosphere and really understood the emotional aspects of surfing and personal growth, which added depth to the overall experience.
