Fly to Colombo. Then 2.5–3 hours south by taxi (~€55), bus (~€10), or train. We connect you with other guests to share a ride.

From €1250. Sunday to Sunday. All highlights included. ~19 dates per season (Nov–Apr).

No. Yoga is for all levels. The surf lesson is built for beginners.

50% deposit within 14 days of booking secures your spot, the balance is due 30 days before arrival. After that, no refunds — we recommend travel insurance.

We cook vegetarian. Vegan, gluten-free, other diets — just tell us in advance.

Yes — a tourist visa (ETA) for up to 30 days, applied online at eta.gov.lk (around $50). Make sure your passport is valid for at least 6 months.

No — the week runs Sunday to Sunday. You're welcome to arrive later or leave earlier, but we can't reduce the price for that.

You book in weekly blocks, Sunday to Sunday — stay as many weeks as you like. If your flight means an early departure, we'll help with an airport shuttle (no price change for a shorter stay).

No — it's one fixed package with food, excursions, yoga and self-work. But everything is optional: join what feels right, skip what doesn't.

Sometimes, depending on availability — just email us. Otherwise we have lovely twin rooms and a four-bed room, both great for solo travellers.

Up to 16 guests in the house. We introduce you beforehand so you can coordinate and share an airport transfer.

Check-in Sunday from 3pm, check-out the following Sunday by 10am. Arriving earlier on Sunday is fine — settle in, head to the beach. Coming to Sri Lanka before Sunday? Book a night in Colombo first.

Most people want to try surfing, not commit to it — so one lesson is included. Hooked? Book more with our partners. Bring or rent a board (~€3/hour) and we'll point you to the best spots.
