Surf Camp Sri Lanka – For Beginners and Beyond

Looking for the best surf camp in Sri Lanka? One that goes beyond the basic lessons and the Insta clichés? We’ve been here on the south coast since 2012 – long before it became a buzzword. Our Soul & Surf Sri Lanka retreat in Ahangama isn’t just a surf camp — it’s a way of life. A blend of daily surf, soulful yoga, great food, meaningful community and a healthy dose of laid-back fun.

We’re not trying to be “luxury,” we’re just trying to do things properly — with heart, soul and surfboards.

Best for Beginners, But Open to All

We welcome surfers of all levels, but we’re definately good for beginners. If you’ve never picked up a board before (or it’s been a while), we’ve got your back. And if you’re already riding green waves, we’ll help you refine your style and progress with purpose.

We’ve helped thousands of guests learn to surf with confidence and joy. No shouty instructors. No overwhelming line-ups. Just good people, good coaching, and good waves.
