Over the years, more and more yoga teachers, coaches, and retreat hosts have asked us if they could run their own retreats with our support. Until now, we always had to decline, as we ran our own retreats at all our previous locations.
But with our new Oura Retreat Venue, we can finally answer that question with "Yes" and look forward to welcoming several retreat hosts and their guests.
Our hosts from previous retreats say:
“We spent some wonderful days here and felt truly welcome from the very first moment. Your friendliness, warmth, and the loving atmosphere made this place a second home.”
“The retreat was fantastic from start to finish. The breakfast and food were delicious, the rooms comfortable, and the massage was a great bonus after surfing.”
“The accommodation is beautiful and the staff are very friendly. Everyone there was incredibly friendly and accommodating.”

Successful Retreats at Surf Spirit Sri Lanka
Several retreat organizers have already created wonderful weeks with us and return every year. As we have extensive experience with retreats ourselves, we understand your needs for organizing your individual retreat.

A WONDERFUL WEEK IN SRI LANKA
We spent a few wonderful days here and felt truly welcome from the very first moment. Thanks to the friendliness, warmth, and welcoming atmosphere, we felt right at home here. The breakfast and meals were delicious and the rooms were modern and comfortable. The accommodations are truly beautiful and the staff is incredibly friendly, which made our entire stay a fantastic experience from start to finish.



Booked in for next year again!
My retreat week in Sri Lanka was a great success. Surf Spirit has organized everything around it: payments, shuttle, (great!!!) Food, surf lessons (optional) & the whole team is super friendly. I was able to concentrate completely on my retreat guests & booked another retreat week with Surf Spirit right away for the coming year.



Exceptional Feedback
I hosted 2 retreats one after the other in Sri Lanka with Surf Spirit. I really enjoyed my time & received exceptional feedback from my guests. Accommodation, service, food & great surfing experiences made the time very special for my guests. It was made easy for me to focus on my work with the guests. I would definitely recommend Surf Spirit as a venue for your retreat.

Unsere Oura Retreat Venue ist ganzjährig geöffnet. Die Monate von November bis April gelten als Hauptsaison mit besonders sonnigem Wetter und idealen Surfbedingungen. In der Slowseason von Mai bis Oktober ist die Natur besonders grün und üppig, während es gelegentlich zu kurzen tropischen Regenschauern kommen kann. Dank des warmen Klimas und der konstanten Wassertemperaturen eignet sich Sri Lanka das ganze Jahr über für dein Retreat. Regen- und Trockenzeiten gehen dabei immer mehr ineinander über. Der größte Unterschied liegt weniger im Wetter als in der Anzahl der Reisenden. Wer es lebendiger mag, reist eher in der Hauptsaison. Wer leere Line-ups und eine ruhige Atmosphäre schätzt, wird die Slowsaison lieben.
Die Venue bietet Platz für bis zu 20 Personen (18 Personen + 2 Retreat Hosts). Ab 10 Personen können 2 Hosts kostenfrei untergebracht werden. Damit eignet sich Oura ideal für Retreats, bei denen eine persönliche Atmosphäre und echte Verbindung im Mittelpunkt stehen.

Ja. Die Küche in Sri Lanka ist ein bunter mix aus lokalen Gerichten mit viel Curry & Reis sowie western food. Wir bieten auch vegetarische und vegane Optionen an und greifen dort auch auf lokale Möglichkeiten zurück. Bei den Gerichten kann auch immer eine glutenfreie Alternative zubereitet werden. Aber es ist wichtig zu sagen, dass diese Gerichte jeweils mit den anderen Gerichten in einer Küche zubereitet werden. Wir können Spuren daher nicht zu 100% ausschließen und wenn es eine sehr strenge bzw. sensible Form der Zöliakie ist, dann möchten wir betonen, dass wir das so streng in der Retreat Küche nicht trennen können. Bei weiteren Besonderheiten, sprich und gerne an!
Gefiltertes Trinkwasser steht den Gästen jederzeit kostenfrei zur Verfügung. Zusätzlich können weitere Getränke wie frische Säfte, Smoothies, Kaffee, Bier oder Cocktails vor Ort bestellt werden. Diese werden am Ende des Aufenthalts direkt mit unserem lokalen Partner abgerechnet.
