Review of Soul & Surf Hotel Ahangama – Highlights
- Yoga and Surfing Combo: Daily yoga sessions balance the physical intensity of surfing lessons, catering to both beginners and experienced practitioners. The surf instructors provide attentive coaching on the mellow, consistent waves of Ahangama. Note that in the mornings there is a guided surf session with instructors and the second daily surf session is called free surf which facilitates guests to the surf locations but is without guidance or lessons.
- Community-Centric Environment: Guests enjoy a communal dining experience with locally inspired meals, creating an inviting atmosphere for connecting with fellow travelers.
- Sustainability-Focused: The retreat incorporates eco-friendly practices and collaborates with the local community, providing a guilt-free, sustainable travel experience.
- Serene Accommodations: Minimalist, stylish rooms with open spaces and nature-inspired designs create a calming and comfortable environment for guests to unwind after a day of activities.
Soul & Surf Retreat Sri Lanka Review – Things to Note
- Not a Luxury Resort: The emphasis is on simplicity and mindfulness rather than upscale amenities, which may not appeal to travelers seeking five-star facilities.
- Seasonal Surf Conditions: Surfing experiences vary by season, so it’s worth checking wave conditions when booking.
- Group Dynamics: Activities are communal, so solo travelers may enjoy the social vibe, but those seeking privacy should be aware of the retreat’s group-centric focus. Note as well that this is a smaller property so the number of guests per retreat is quite limited, meaning you will be spending a lot of time with everyone.
Review of Soul & Surf Camp Sri Lanka – Tips
- Book Excursions: The retreat offers Wednesday as a day guests organize on their own. Recommendations to use this day to explore the other neighboring cities such as Weligama, Galle or Mirissa.
- Explore Beyond the Retreat: Take time to visit nearby beaches and villages for an authentic taste of Sri Lanka’s charm.
- Prepare for Early Mornings: Surf sessions often start early, making it easier to enjoy the best waves and avoid the midday heat. What’s helpful are the dates, bananas and coffee that the kitchen organizes every morning ahead of the first surf session.
