8 Day Pilates & Surf Wellness Retreat in Sri Lanka

This 8-day Pilates and surf retreat is a harmonious blend of ocean adventure and mindful movement, designed specifically for women who want to recharge and reconnect. Set in the coastal village of Ahangama, the retreat offers a unique opportunity to combine the exhilaration of surfing with the grounding practice of Pilates and yoga. Each day is thoughtfully curated to balance activity with relaxation, ensuring you leave feeling both energized and deeply rested.

The philosophy behind the retreat is simple: the ocean and movement have the power to transform. Jenna, your host and lead instructor, has spent over a decade leading wellness retreats across Australia, Bali, and Sri Lanka. Her approach blends the mind-body connection of Pilates with the presence and humility cultivated by surfing, creating a powerful sense of balance. Guests often describe Jenna's spaces as strong yet supportive, energising yet grounding, and deeply connected without ever taking themselves too seriously.

Accommodation is split between two beautifully appointed venues just 500 meters apart: the Boutique Hotel, with its main pool and restaurant, and the Paddy Lodge, offering private pool options and paddy field views. Daily rhythm flows with the surf forecast, so mornings often begin early to catch the best waves, followed by breakfast and free time for massages or poolside lounging. Afternoons feature Pilates and yoga sessions, and evenings are spent enjoying delicious shared dinners and fun video reviews of your surf progress.

Inclusion of cultural experiences, such as a traditional welcome and a cooking class, adds depth to the journey, while the stunning natural surroundings—jungle, rice paddies, and the turquoise ocean—create a truly magical atmosphere. This retreat is perfect for those who want to move their body, clear their head, and be surrounded by like-minded women who 'just get it.' It's an invitation to embrace island time, step out of your comfort zone, and rediscover your vitality.
