OUR HOME

After the overwhelming success of our previous sold-out Sri Lanka retreats, we’re thrilled to be returning to the breathtaking horseshoe bay of Hiriketiya for six unforgettable nights. Our retreat home is tucked gently among swaying palm trees, close enough that you can fall asleep to the lull of the ocean from your bedroom. A short wander down a sun-dappled track brings you to warm, golden sand in just minutes. Trust us, once you arrive, you’ll never want to leave.

Our yoga practices will unfold on the rooftop terrace, a serene sanctuary overlooking the pool and a canopy of palms, offering the perfect backdrop for sunrise stretches and slow, restorative evenings.

All movement classes will be lovingly guided by Cat Meffan. We’ve arranged for group surf lessons for anyone eager to learn, with board hire available for more experienced surfers who prefer to glide at their own pace. Surf sessions will be overseen by Cat’s husband, Luke, while our wonderful local instructors lead your lessons with their deep knowledge and warm Sri Lankan hospitality.

WHO IS THIS RETREAT FOR?

This retreat is designed for anyone who feels drawn to movement, the ocean, and the magic that happens when the two meet. You don’t need any surfing experience. The only essential requirement is that you’re able to swim confidently; this is a must for everyone’s safety, and you will be asked to sign a waiver to confirm this. The blend of adventure, restoration, and connection also makes this an exceptional experience for couples looking to share something truly special.

When it comes to yoga, all levels are welcome. As long as you’ve tried a little yoga before, you’ll feel right at home. Total beginners can absolutely join, though having some familiarity with group classes will help.

The physical practice is only one part of the journey. In the immersive environment of a retreat, the layers run much deeper. Prepare to be moved, nourished, and awakened as we explore conscious connected breathwork, free movement, yin yoga, vinyasa flow, and so much more. This is where transformation truly begins.

OUR SCHEDULE

Please note that this is subject to change due to the surf conditions, but this will give you an idea of what to expect. As surf is very much under the guidance of Mother Nature, we will do our best to fit in 4 classes through the 6-night retreat, but this is dependant on the conditions.
