Double Room
Two of our Rooms are used as Double Rooms which are ideal for couples or friends. The double rooms are composed of a king size bed. Enjoy the sunsets on your private balcony with outstanding views of the beach.
Beach Terrace & Restaurant
In addition to the private balconies our guests love to chill in our garden facing the sea. We are happy to say that this is one of the nicest areas to relax on the whole beach. This is also where you will enjoy your breakfast, lunch and dinner with your feet in the sand.
Rooftop Terrace
Our yoga sessions take place on our stunning rooftop. This really is yoga with a view. Inhale deeply while you gaze over the beautiful ocean to fully treat your mind, body and soul. When there is no yoga class you can enjoy the rooftop to relax with a good book or a fresh coconut in your hands. Throughout the days this is exclusively reserved for Surf Spirit Guests. After evening yoga the bar opens and turns into a place to meet like minded people.
Surf
"It is our mission to teach you all the expertise and skills, so that after leaving the Beach Lodge, you can surf around the world on your own.”
Surf Package (ideal for level 1 & 2)
On every surf session, 2.5 hours each, you will work with our surf coach on your skills while being in pleasant, warm water in a tropical environment.
Especially beginners and experienced beginners will love the spot just in front of our backyard. The Bonavista Bay is known as one of the best “learn to surf” spots in the world. That is because the bay is protected from the dominant wind directions. This makes the waves more “organised” and clean. The wave itself is breaking on top of sand and runs very smoothly and slow. This is ideal to learn and improve the right technique.

To make our beginners & experienced beginners feel comfortable and secure, first we will give you all the basic theoretical information in our relaxing chill out area before we hit the water. We take our job seriously to teach you all fundaments of surfing. All Surf Spirit Coaches are well trained and experienced to provide analytical feedback to get your surfing to the next level. Besides the surf lessons feel free to use our surf equipment free of charge to go surfing on your own.
After your week at the Surf Spirit Retreat, you will have developed a secure stand up technique on the board, a controlled ride on the wave and you will be able to ride your first manoeuvres. In addition to these skills, you will be able to recognise good spots to surf securely on your own.
We will go into even more detail when it comes to the video analysis of your surfing experience. You will get helpful advice to improve your technique. Our professional photographer will capture your best waves so you will get the opportunity to purchase all of your pictures for just 25 Euro.
If you are Intermediate or Advanced and already know how to surf reef spots, handle crowds in the water and carry out manoeuvres, we recommend you to book the Jungle Villa as we offer guiding sessions as an extra service over there only. Alternatively you can stay in the Beach Lodge and book the Free Surf Package so you can go and surf on your own.
Free Surf & Yoga Package
If you book the Free Surf & Yoga Package there won't be any surf lessons included but you are welcome to use our surf equipment to go surfing on your own. In this case your surf level is not relevant. If you only want to focus on yoga, this is your package. If your surf is on a high level already, you know what you are doing and you only want to surf on your own, this is your package as well.
However, to improve your surfing more efficiently, we highly recommend to book the surf package to get advice of one of our internationally licensed surf coaches.
Yoga
"I am what I choose to become"
We run two yoga classes a day on our rooftop terrace. Enjoy a stunning view of the tropical bay while practicing Vinyasa in the morning and Yin in the evening.
Our Vinyasa sessions are activating and will give you the right boost to start your day.
In the evenings you can enjoy our restorative Yin sessions. Regenerate mind and body while the sun is setting. At the whole bay there is probably no better spot to be during sunset. Our Yoga teachers are professional and passionate to create challenging and relaxing yoga classes and to match your individual level.
Food
Every day you will be served delicious and healthy food from Sri Lanka prepared traditionally and European.
"Enjoy a diversity of healthy and freshly prepared food from the region.”
We offer a variety of healthy local and western food in our in-house kitchen. Every meal is freshly prepared. The food we serve is not just delicious but will also provide all the energy you need for surfing and yoga.

Reviews
This location is brand new.
With our experience of our Jungle Villa, which is the number 1 on TripAdvisor, we are more than excited to offer great experiences directly on the beach at our home surf spot from now on. We are not a fan of standstill, instead we aim to keep learning, to continuously develop our services for our dear guests and the experience for our crew.
We will do everything we can to show you an unforgettable time with us. We look forward to sharing our lifestyle with you.
Season
"Surfing is possible all year round at our home spot."
The main season at Sri Lanka’s south coast is from October - April with a mostly dry weather and a great option to escape Europe’s winter. The so called low season May - September is attracting more and more travellers every year. We are located in a tropical environment which means there is rain every now and then in every month to keep our jungle juicy and green. The sea and air temperature stays between 27 - 31°C all the time anyway. We are lucky to be in a very wind protected bay with waves running pretty constant throughout the whole year. Therefor surfing is always possible on our surf spot. The Jungle Villa is open all year round.
If you wish to visit us between May - August please check the availability of our Jungle Villa. Our Beach Lodge opens for a new season each year in September - April.
