SRI LANKA RETREAT
YOGA, SURFING & WELLNESS
HIRIKETIYA, SRI LANKA
11-17TH OCTOBER 2020
nestled between jungle & ocean in sri lanka, is a unique destination.
Join us THERE, for 6 nights and 7 days in a boutique hideaway.
In the south of the island of Sri Lanka sits a horseshoe shaped bay, fringed with hundreds of palm trees and a beautiful beach for snorkelling, swimming, and surfing. Our home for the week is Jasper House, a private boutique hotel with 12 rooms, a yoga shala, pool, and a rooftop open-air dining room & lounge.
Wake up each morning to the sound of the Indian Ocean and greet the day with meditation, pranayama, and a dynamic yoga practice, followed by a healthy breakfast.
For lunch we will meet at some of the best cafes around the little town of Hiriketiya for a set group lunch (included in price), this way you get a taste of the various offerings and a chance to explore. We will also take a group cooking class where we get to taste everything!
An ideal escape for ocean lovers, surfers, or yogis who want to try surfing, with a picturesque surf beach at our doorstep.
A private small-group lesson provided for beginners to get you started and, for more experienced surfers, a left-hand point break out front and abundant surf spots close by, ensures you’ll always find the best surf conditions.
Bring your own board or rent one from our host. If surfing isn’t your thing you can head to the spa for a massage (in lieu of a surf lesson), hop in a tuk tuk and explore the surrounding beaches, snorkel, swim, sip coconuts, or just lounge poolside.
Finally, complete the day with an evening restorative/therapeutic practice before a delicious dinner.
Experience the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation in a unique location.
