Surf & Yoga Mirissa in Mirissa

An absolutely unforgettable stay—truly one of the highlights of our entire trip! The accommodation was stunning and spotless, and from the very first moment we felt like part of the family. The warmth and genuine hospitality here are something really special. The food was out of this world—fresh, delicious, and full of authentic local flavors. Without a doubt, it was the best food we had during our whole journey! Every meal was a treat. The staff were beyond amazing—so kind, attentive, and always ready to help with anything. You feel so welcomed and cared for at all times. It honestly couldn’t have been better. The yoga classes and teachers were fantastic as well. The guidance was thoughtful, supportive, and perfect for all levels—we really got a lot out of it. We didn’t try the surf lessons ourselves, but it looked like so much fun and the energy around it was great! You can also book massages on site—an absolute dream and the perfect way to relax. The pool area was beautiful as well; it truly felt like being right in the middle of the jungle. A huge thank you to the entire team and especially to Jay for making this stay so special—we truly appreciate everything you did for us! Such an incredible team and a truly special place. We would come back in a heartbeat—highly, highly recommended!

I had such a beautiful experience at this Surf & Yoga camp that I can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for something truly special 🌊✨ From the very beginning, everything was perfectly taken care of thanks to the amazing manager Jeew, who looked after us with such kindness, attention, and genuine care. You could really feel that nothing was ever too much trouble. The whole place feels like being in the jungle, surrounded by lush, carefully maintained greenery that creates such a peaceful and unique atmosphere. The food… honestly, the best I’ve ever had. Huge compliments to Hasith, whose dishes could easily deserve Michelin stars. Every meal was a highlight on its own. The yoga experience was just as incredible. Bianca, Viivi, and Scott are not only very friendly instructors, but also bring so much creativity into their classes—no session ever felt the same. I also really appreciated the meaningful and open conversations we could have with them. A special mention goes to Lucie, who captured the most beautiful moments from our surf sessions through her photos, and also created such a fun and light atmosphere during our free time. The local staff deserves so much appreciation as well—they were always ready to help with anything, big or small, and always with a sincere smile that made you feel truly welcome. Right nearby, Lucky from the coffee place added another lovely touch to the experience with his delicious coffee drinks and by teaching us local table games—it made everything feel even more authentic and connected. And the best for the end… my surf instructor Madu. He was incredibly professional, patient, and always took the time to explain everything clearly. Even in moments that felt a bit scary for me, I felt completely safe under his guidance. Thanks to his approach, I’ve finally made real progress in my surfing. I will 100% come back here again—with big pleasure 💙

Surf and yoga stay in Mirissa was the best place I could have wished for. The second I arrived I was warmly welcomed by Jay the manager who is not only a really helpful but also kind and caring person who is working really hard so everyone has an amazing time there. The food was really good and it was lovely to eat together like a family!! The Yoga classes are nice as well and good for every level, the location is so pretty and feels like a jungle when you’re inside. Wherever you meet someone you get a warm smile and feel very welcomed. My surf instructor Bande was so patient and did a great job with learning me how to surf and was so dedicated that I would catch waves and have fun at surfing. The groups were really small so it often felt like a 1:1 lesson which was great for making progress!!

No faults with my stay. Jay and the team all very friendly and helpful, i got a free upgraded room which was a nice surprise and all instructors are very good. The food was also exceptional and lovely surroundings

I had a fantastic time at the Surf & Yoga Retreat in Mirissa! The whole camp is very well organized and beautifully designed. Even though it’s located on the main road, it feels surprisingly quiet and peaceful – like a little oasis. The surf lessons were great and held in small groups, which made them personal and effective. The instructors were patient and supportive, and you could really see the progress after just a few sessions. All the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. A special thanks to Jay, who leads the retreat with warmth and positive energy, creating a relaxed and supportive atmosphere for everyone. The food was delicious, and the café was a real highlight – especially the coffee and cake! I can highly recommend this retreat to anyone looking for a perfect mix of surfing, yoga, and relaxation. I would definitely come back!

I had such a beautiful experience at Surf & Yoga in Mirissa 🌊✨ From the first moment, the atmosphere at the camp felt warm, welcoming and peaceful. The environment is relaxed and friendly, and it’s easy to connect with other guests while still having space for yourself. The surf lessons were very well organized and adapted to different levels. I was especially lucky to have an amazing surf instructor who helped me so much during my stay. He was patient, encouraging and really took the time to give personal feedback. Thanks to him, I improved my technique and felt much more confident in the water. I always felt safe and supported while still being motivated to challenge myself. The yoga sessions were the perfect complement to surfing – grounding, strengthening and exactly what the body needs after time in the ocean. The balance between activity and relaxation was just right. The food was fresh and delicious, and the staff overall were kind, helpful and always smiling. You can really feel that the team cares about creating a great experience for everyone. Special thanks to Jay for being such a positive, calm and inspiring presence throughout the stay ❤️ If you’re looking for a place to surf, practice yoga, meet great people and enjoy the beautiful Sri Lankan coast, I can definitely recommend this camp. Hope to come back one day! 🌴✨

I stayed at the camp for 9 nights and absolutely loved it. The organization was excellent, especially thanks to Jay, the friendly and always helpful manager. She even helped organize day trips for me to Ella and the national park. The camp itself is beautiful and very spacious, so you can always choose whether you want some quiet time or want to be around other people. There is also an Ayurveda massage center on site, which I can highly recommend. My room was simple but had everything I needed, and it even had a private balcony facing the jungle. The food was consistently delicious and varied, and having three meals a day was great. The surf lessons were very good, especially because the groups were very small (usually 1–3 people). We also had the same coach the whole time, which made the coaching very personal and helped me improve a lot. There was a really great vibe at the camp between the coaches, staff, and guests. Conclusion: Amazing camp, highly recommended.

This was my second time at Surf & Yoga Mirissa, and I came back for a reason. From the very first moment, it felt like coming home. The entire team does such a loving and heartfelt job that this place truly feels like one big family — not just kind and funny, but genuinely caring for each guest, making you feel supported and included in every moment. I’m a solo traveler and spent a full month in the girls’ dorm, and I couldn’t have chosen a better place. Even though Surf & Yoga is located right in Mirissa, the setting is incredibly peaceful — tucked away in what feels like the middle of the jungle. Every day, right outside the bedroom, you can observe wildlife like monkeys, chipmunks, iguanas, turtles, and so much more. Of course, being surrounded by nature also means mosquitoes — which is completely normal in the tropics — but mosquito spray is provided everywhere, so you’re always well taken care of. The girls’ dorm itself is wonderful — everyone is kind and respectful with each other. Even if dorm life might sound overwhelming to some, we were always a lovely group, with each person looking out for one another and paying attention to each other’s needs. The dorm is cleaned daily, and if you ever need anything, you simply have to ask — there is always a solution. You really feel cared for. The yoga shala is absolutely dreamy — set in the middle of lush jungle fauna, creating a truly special and calming atmosphere. I came mainly for surfing, so I didn’t get to practice yoga as much as I would have liked, but there are multiple yoga classes offered every day, such as aerial yoga, yin, hatha, surf yoga, and more. The variety is amazing, and the yoga teachers are wonderful. Surfing was a very important part of my stay. I chose the Longboard Retreat again, which I can highly recommend. To give some context: I had an accident last year that was not related to surfing, but it left me feeling quite nervous and a bit fearful about getting back into the water. Dave, my surf instructor, is an incredibly skilled and compassionate teacher. I learned so much technical knowledge, but even more important was his patience, positivity, motivation, and constant support. He made sure I always felt safe, comfortable, and never alone in the water. Because of that, I experienced so many beautiful hours in the ocean, full of joy and confidence. I truly wish I could stay forever. The food deserves a special mention. Everything is freshly cooked every day. Breakfast offers a wide variety of options, and you can choose something different each morning. If you’re missing anything or have special wishes, the team is always happy to adjust things to your needs. Lunch is served as a small, delicious buffet with fresh food, and dinner is always something new and fantastic, always with a small dessert. I have several food allergies, and they were handled with so much care — whenever needed, I always received a suitable and delicious alternative. The team is incredibly war

I had a great time at the surf camp in Mirissa. The food was amazing, and the staff were always friendly and welcoming. Jay, the manager, was easy to communicate with, replied quickly, and was very helpful and super kind throughout my stay. My surf coach, Chamara, was an excellent instructor, and I learned a lot from him. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience, and I would definitely recommend this surf camp.

Friendly and fun. We loved our experience at Surf and Yoga, Mirissa. The food was incredible. Offered only vegetarian meals. Though that worked well for me. The surfing was great fun. Had 4 lessons and certainly learnt the basics and had a laugh with the instructor "Pooja". The accommodation rooms are basic though offer the main amenities needed. Would definitely recommend. The coffee is good too!
