Surf & Yoga Mirissa

The retrat was great espescially if you come with shared interests because the yoga offer is very big with a lot of different styles. On the other hand, if you want to do both, surfing and yoga, you might at some days have to prioritize what you want to do as there are overlapps between the surf and the yoga schedule. In general a very beautiful place very close to nature, nice staff, good food, professional coaches and good coffee right on the spot avalable😊

I absolutely LOVED this place. Stayed for five days and could have stayed longer. What a perfect way to end my solo travel through Sri Lanka. Really felt like home from the moment I arrived. Food is spectacular. Kept adding more surf to my package - learned so much and was eager to be in the water. The folks who work there were so happy to accommodate and made everhing easeful and fun. I stayed in a private room with balcony and it was GORGEOUS. On site affordable Ayurvedic spa also an amazing plus :) hope I can go back some day

If you’re debating whether this is the place for you, it definitely is! I stayed for 16 nights as solo female traveller in a private room with the balance package. I instantly felt at home here, I was welcomed by the five beautiful doggos and the wonderful manager Lena who explained how the camp worked. She ensured I was happy throughout my stay and provided such genuine care to every camp mate. My private room was perfect. Comfy bed, spacious, spotless, warm and powerful shower, and watching monkeys swinging in the trees from my balcony- magical. The food? Ooh Lala! The previous reviews don’t overestimate how delicious the meals are. Watching each meal made in the open kitchen was a real treat. And the coffee? 🤤 Shout out to Lucky who makes the perfect cappuccino every time at the on-site cafe Loose Keys, a barista artist. Yoga in the shala as a beginner was again, magical. The expert yoga teachers ensured each pose was adaptable for beginners as well as for the more advanced yogis. I highly recommend the evening yoga classes. It was so surreal to do candlelit yoga amongst the sounds of the jungle and fireflies- just remember your mosquito spray 🤣 Surfing was an absolute joy. The surf instructors are professional, encouraging and great fun to be around. I was so lucky to have Madu as my surf instructor. I always felt safe, that I was learning the best technique, and he ensured that above all I was having fun. His video analysis was always a highlight to attend. And the surf locations truly felt like paradise. Warm water, stunning views and great company. I highly recommend the excursion days organised by camp. I attended the sunrise Udawalawa safari (the wonderful chefs even send you with a packed breakfast!) the Galle and tea plantation exploring day (Jay the tour guide is a true gem, tailored the day to our desires, provided us with interesting local knowledge and took us to absolutely stunning locations) and the paddle boarding (true serenity, abundant nature and you even get to meet a wizard 😍). The on-site massage parlour is excellent and exactly what’s needed for sore surfing muscles. Basically, this was probably the best couple weeks of my life and that’s thanks to the staff who have created a place of magic. I thank you all, and until next time sending love from Ireland ❤️🌞❤️

I had an incredible time at Surf N Yoga Mirissa and immediately fell in love with Sri Lanka on my first day! The staff is incredibly warm and welcoming, the food is absolutely outstanding, and the property is meticulously cared for. I arrived before noon and was greeted with a welcome coffee at Loose Keys made by Lakshmi, then I was able to check into the dorm early. Lena gave me a lovely tour of the place and explained everything in detail. I highly recommend the female dorm – it’s spacious, close to the pool, and fosters a wonderful sense of community. I booked the Balance Package, which I can fully recommend, as it includes one surf lesson and one yoga class per day. This was perfect for me, as I had to work from noon until the evening. The Wi-Fi is excellent, and they even have a generator in case of a power outage! Initially, I was only able to book for 4 nights, but when space opened up, Lena kindly extended my stay by 2 more nights, and I also got a massage included in my package! In the evenings, I had so much fun playing games with the other guests or going out to explore the local nightlife. I especially appreciated the opportunity to surf at 4 different spots with the advanced group and to track my progress every day – big thanks to Boke for that! And thank you to Madu for the video review. The property itself is stunning, with jungle surroundings, playful monkeys, frogs by the pool, and fireflies near the yoga shala. The traditional Sri Lankan architecture adds to the charm of the place. I had an amazing time and loved it so much that I came back to Sri Lanka just a few weeks later. I can’t wait to return!

I had the most wonderful week in Surf&Yoga Mirissa. Starting from the welcoming, chill and family atmosphere, you feel like a part of community immediately. The room was way better than I expected - spacious, clean and super comfy. The big terrace facing the jungle and swimming pool was definitely an added value :) the schedule for each day consists of surfing classes, yoga and common meals which allows you just enjoy the time and not to worry about anything. Surfing classes were great, I feel like I improved a lot thanks to my amazing instructor Anu. Yoga was also fantastic - big shout out to Anita, Sara and Jude - they guide you through the classes and create fantastic atmosphere thanks to scents, meditation and crystal bowls. And then - the FOOD!!!! I will not exaggerate by saying that the legendary breakfasts are honestly epic, while each dinner was a wonderful surprise thanks to the amazing chef who makes sure that we try the best of Sri Lanka kitchen combined with international flavors. I am very picky about the food and here I was just enjoying every meal! The staff is extremely friendly, smoky and helpful, always ready for a little chat or tips, and everything works perfectly thanks to Lena who makes sure everyone is happy and comfy. I really regret that I have only booked one week and I cannot wait to be back! Thank you guys you have created beautiful memories for me in Mirissa!

One of the best experiences of my life! At the Surf & Yoga Club, it feels like being part of a family. The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming, the people are amazing, and the staff is absolutely outstanding! And the food? Incredible! (Trust me, if an Italian says so, it’s really good). Everyone is always smiling, friendly, and ready to help with anything you need. Everything is so well-organized, from the surf and yoga instructors to the extra trips you can add to your stay. I highly recommend this place to everyone, and I’ll definitely be back!
