Soul & Surf Cove is a boutique hotel positioned on a dreamy, secluded little waterfront cove in Ahangama, Southern Sri Lanka. Hidden from the road, the beach is dotted with palm trees, and there is a wave right out front with safe swimming and the odd turtle in our lagoon. Right there! We can walk to it, what a treat.
In fact, if the hotel was any closer to the ocean, it’d be a boat.
Due to Covid we were forced to leave the Sri Lanka property we’d called home since 2015. We used the time wisely and re-evaluated what we offer and… pivoted. And we found our perfect location for a surf & yoga-focused retreat with a bar – and set up our little cafe, Canteen.
Our eight rooms are all sea-facing, simple yet stylishly presented and we have an on-site cafe, bar & restaurant and all with a sea view. You get too hot, hop in the sea. You get too lazy, jump in the sea. You get bored with your friends, plop in the sea.
We offer a particularly special and, well, erm, soulful surf, yoga & therapy experience for our guests. Come, meet new people, or hang with your loved one, or the family. Or, of course, to just laze by the beach with a drink. From October we become pretty much all-inclusive (booze, some drinks, some meals and massages are extra) and run from Saturday – Saturday each week.
We’re not too serious and definitely not too worthy… But we do have a whole heap of life-affirmingly brilliant people on our team making it happen who you might like to get to know while you’re here.

Do as little or as much as you want to, no pressure. Some guests surf and spend the rest of the day hanging out, having coffees, chats and putting the world to rights; some just come for the yoga, meditation or massage; some surf as much as they possibly can; some come to just hang out, eat, drink coolers, sunbathe and enjoy the welcoming community Soul & Surf vibe.
All the details of what’s included in your stay with us here can be found on our What’s Included page, but below is a little more insight into how your days might play out…

Or… if you’d like to spend the day careering from yoga to surf to massage and back again we’ll make that happen too. It’s a broad church we run here.
