Surf and Yoga Retreat

Start your day exploring the traditional fishing village of Negombo. Watch locals untangle their nets and colourful boats bobbing gently in the lagoon, signs of daily life unfolding in the salty morning air.

Next, centre yourself with a three-hour yoga session. The calm setting and slow stretches help you unwind while the rhythmic ocean breeze keeps you grounded. In the afternoon, enjoy a two-hour deep tissue massage. Tension fades with every firm stroke, leaving you deeply relaxed and recharged.

As the sun dips low, settle into a seaside restaurant. The evening calls for fresh seafood, grilled to perfection, paired with gentle waves and a golden sky, a perfect end to your Negombo experience.

Spend the day in Colombo, a city where old-world charm meets modern energy. Begin with a stroll along Galle Face Green, where the sea breeze carries the scent of street food and children fly kites against the ocean sky.

Explore colonial buildings and colourful markets in Pettah, where bustling lanes brim with spices, saris, and handcrafted treasures. Visit the National Museum to glimpse Sri Lanka’s royal past, or relax in the calm of Gangaramaya Temple.

Stop by a stylish café or rooftop bar for lunch with a view. As evening sets in, the city glows with lights and music. Colombo’s vibrant spirit wraps up your journey with a touch of urban delight.

Head to Udawalawe for a day filled with wild beauty and open skies. Begin with a 4×4 jeep safari through Udawalawe National Park, where elephants roam freely across grasslands and water buffalo wade through quiet lakes. Keep your eyes peeled for crocodiles, peacocks, and soaring eagles.

The landscape shifts from dry scrub to lush wetlands, offering endless opportunities for spotting wildlife in their natural habitat. Pause at a waterhole to watch elephants bathe and play, their movements slow and graceful.

Visit the nearby Elephant Transit Home to see young elephants being cared for before their return to the wild.

Begin your day in Mirissa with a snorkelling adventure in clear turquoise waters. Swim alongside vibrant coral reefs, playful fish, and maybe even a graceful sea turtle or two. The calm bay makes it ideal for both beginners and seasoned snorkellers.

Later, climb up to the picturesque Coconut Hill - a breezy palm-covered headland offering sweeping views of the Indian Ocean. It’s a perfect spot for photos or simply soaking up the peaceful coastal charm. Spend the afternoon lounging on the golden sands or enjoying a fresh coconut under the sun.

As evening sets in, stroll along the beach and let the gentle waves guide you to a beachfront café for a relaxed seaside dinner.

Head to Weligama for a fun-filled surf lesson with one of the island’s top instructors. The wide sandy bay and gentle waves make it a perfect spot for beginners.

Start with a safety briefing and on-shore preparation. You’ll learn how to position yourself, balance on the board, and understand the basics of paddling. Once you hit the water, your instructor guides you through wave selection, spotting the right ones and timing your paddle to catch them smoothly. With hands-on coaching and plenty of practice, you’ll be riding your first waves in no time.

The laid-back surf vibe of Weligama and the thrill of progress make it a memorable highlight of your coastal journey.

Wake up to another refreshing day in Weligama and start with a relaxed swim in the warm, gentle waters of the bay. The calm sea offers a perfect start, easing you into the rhythm of the morning.

Next, it’s time for your second round of practical surfing lessons. Build on what you learned - fine-tuning your paddling, improving your balance, and gaining more confidence with every wave. Your instructor stays close, offering tips and encouragement as you begin to feel the natural flow of the ocean.

In the late afternoon, unwind with a peaceful yoga session by the beach. Stretch, breathe, and let the sound of the waves carry you into complete relaxation.

Spend the day discovering the charm of Galle and its surrounding coastal gems. Start with a walk through Galle Fort, where cobbled streets, Dutch-colonial buildings, and sea-battered ramparts reveal stories of centuries past.

Next, head out to watch the iconic stilt fishermen in action. Balanced on slender poles above the waves, they continue a time-honoured tradition in a world that's ever-changing.

In the afternoon, enjoy a tranquil boat safari along the Madu River. Glide through tangled mangroves and past tiny islets, spotting birdlife and traditional fishing scenes along the way.

Wrap up the day in Ambalangoda with a visit to a mask museum.

After breakfast, return to Colombo for a city tour if time permits. Transfer to the airport for your departure flight and take some time to enjoy some last-minute duty-free shopping.
