Ahangama, waves & wonder await. Tropical warmth, lush surroundings, and playful waves just a tuk-tuk ride away - Ahangama is the kind of place that invites you to slow down, soak it in, and ride with joy.

We’ve designed every moment to help you feel supported, empowered, and free - from surf sessions tailored to your ability, to the space we hold outside off the water for laughter, rest, and connection.
✨ Salty hair. Open hearts. Limitless joy. ✨
This isn’t just another surf and yoga retreat - it’s an experience built for women, by women. A space where you can show up exactly as you are, be held in community, and leave feeling stronger, braver, and blissfully alive.
Come find your flow - in the ocean and in life.

Bustling with live

We will stay at Lotus - a comfortable and cozy accommodation that offers a glimpse of Sri Lankan culture while ensuring your utmost comfort.
You can choose between Private Rooms or Twin Shared Rooms, all of which are furnished with comfortable beds, fans, mosquito nets, and air conditioning. The rooms are adorned with beautiful art of Sri Lankan lifestyle, captured by Liam, co-owner of Lotus, throughout the years.
There are only 2 Twin Rooms and 3 Private Rooms available, which creates an intimate and personalized experience.
Surf
With so many waves to choose from, Sri Lanka is a surf progression paradise.
The Lotus's Head Coach Liam will make sure we surf the best waves at the best times.
You will be able to see yourself riding the waves and get detailed feedback on how to progress during our daily video analysis sessions - the best way to advance your skills.
Don't want to travel with your surfboard - no problem, you will have access to a variety of boards in all different sizes.
All levels welcome! This retreat is suitable for ladies from Beginner to Intermediate Level.
Yoga
To complement all salty sessions, we added intentional practices to our week together. Yoga classes led by a local teacher to help you stretch and restore sore muscles.
But it’s not only about physical fitness - the real surf progression happens when all the elements fall into place! That’s why we included journaling and self-reflection practices, as we know that the mindset is the secret ingredient to take that next step on your surfing journey.
All yoga equipment is provided.
Activities
There are lots of activities every day, but we have planned some free time for you as well. You can explore the area, get a massage or chill by the pool.
In addition to our everyday surfing, we will:
-
go to a Recovery Centre (Sauna + Ice Baths) surrounded by nature to help you rejuvenate and relax
-
take you on a Waterfall Trip
