It is our mission to give you all the skills you need so that you can surf all over the world in the future.
- Ideal for all levels of surfing

- Surf guiding for experienced surfers
- Professional, licensed coaches

- Equipment available at any time
During each 2.5 hour surf session, you work with your surf coach on your skills while you enjoy the pleasant, warm water and tropical surroundings.
Especially rookie and experienced beginners (level 1 & 2) You'll love our surf spot. Bonavista Bay is known as one of the best surfing spots in the world. This is because the bay is protected from prevailing wind directions and the waves are therefore more “organized” and cleaner. The wave itself breaks on sand and runs very smoothly and slowly. This is ideal for learning and improving the right technique.
So that you can be rookie or experienced beginner If you feel comfortable and safe, we will first provide you with all the basic theoretical information in our Chill Out area before we get into the water. We take our job very seriously to provide the best surfing experience possible. All Surf Spirit coaches are well-trained and experienced to provide you with the necessary analytical feedback and take your surfing to the next level. In addition to surfing lessons, you can use our equipment free of charge and also go surfing on your own at any time.
After your week in the Surf Spirit Jungle Villa, you have developed a safe stand-up technique on the board, a controlled ride on the wave and can master your first manoeuvres. In addition to these skills, you will be able to independently identify good spots where you can safely go surfing yourself in the future.
In the video analysis We will go into more detail about your surfing experience and you will receive helpful, individual advice on how to improve your technique. Our professional photographer will also capture your best waves, so you can take your personal surf photos with you as a reminder at the end of your week.
When you as Intermediate surfer (level 3) When you come to us, we will first check your current surfing status so that we can then precisely improve your technique and knowledge together to bring you to the next level. With our experienced surf coaches, you will focus on the next individually necessary steps to make your improvement as efficient as possible. Our lessons are specifically tailored to each surfer's individual needs to get the best result during your stay with us. We often deal with wave reading, wave selection, pop-up timing, taking the best line of the wave and introducing or improving the maneuvers (bottom & top turn, cutback and more). You also have the opportunity to take part in our additional, free service, Surf Guiding. Please note that our coaches will check whether guiding at a challenging surfing spot matches your surfing level.
Advanced Surfer (level 4) We also have the opportunity to challenge yourself in larger and faster waves with our surf guiding. This is an additional service for our surfers who already feel comfortable on a reef. These sessions are also offered early in the morning (info: this may make you miss yoga in the morning). That means you jump into the jeep with your coach in the morning, he explains some details about the commercial and gives you individual tips. Then simply enjoy surfing together. Structured guiding should be seen as a supplement to our surf courses. Please note that our coaches will check whether guiding at a challenging surfing spot matches your surfing level.

Beginner-friendly Surf coaching
The best surf camp I've been to so far. The surf lessons are well structured - every day before surfing, there is a small theory section in which you learn useful things that you can implement directly in the water. The waves in Sri Lanka are very beginner-friendly and so you make progress again and again. In addition, the team is simply great. Everyone is so adorable and does their best. See you soon!
Intermediate Surfer
I've been to Surf Spirit's Jungle Villa for a second time with my girlfriend and we would come back anytime. The location, the food, the employees... absolutely world-class - For beginners, there are ideal conditions to take their first steps on the board. Morning surf guiding is ideal for intermediates. The coaches have a plan to respond to each student. I've already been to many surf camps but this is by far the best I've been to so far.
Beginners & Intermediate Surf
The surf lessons were great, the conditions in the bay were consistently good, suitable for beginners and intermediates, and there were additional surf guiding sessions for advanced surfers. The video analysis is very helpful in improving your technique and the professional surf photography is a great souvenir.
Reconnect
Reconnect to yourself Yoga was a great and inspiring experience, thanks to Anke, who managed to unite all levels in her class! She focuses on correct alignment, which really helped me to improve my posture, and even more, it helped me to leave the stress of everyday life at home behind.
Luxurious Villa
We spent a wonderful week there, with delicious food, inspiring yoga classes and great surfing lessons! You will receive a very warm welcome, all wishes will be fulfilled and you simply feel at home in the unique nature and the luxurious villa. Even weeks later, I am still deeply relaxed and well recovered:)
Surf Progress
This has been one of my best weeks ever in my entire life! Sri Lanka is such a warm, safe, colorful and welcoming country and surf spirit retreat is simply its crown jewel. It's a gorgeous villa so close to the shore but still peacefully in land. The teaching and management team is amazing: young, cool, friendly, open, highly skilled. I had ko expectations about surf and learned so much in one week that I could tame medium to large and waves of the Indian Ocean (in a beginner beach). The food is mostly plentiful, tasty and healthy with loads of local fruit. I was terribly sad to leave this place, I still dream about it with closed and open eyes.
Not just a guest
We recommend! Here you are not just a guest, here you are taking part in something very special. Surf and yoga teachers have a strong sense of balancing professionalism and friendly relationships. Location, cleanliness, program and food excellent. From the nice greeting to the warm farewell, 5 stars+!
Retreat Experience
Eine außergewöhnliche Erfahrung... eine intensive Woche von Sport, Wohlbefinden und guter Stimmung... der Ort ist sehr einladend und immer auf deine Bedürfnisse aufmerksam... sie organisieren viele Aktivitäten und lassen dich immer wohl fühlen... die Surflehrer und Yoga sind sehr kompetent und passen die Kurse an deine Bedürfnisse an... Ich hatte eine tolle Zeit... wunderbarer Ort mit wunderbaren Menschen... eine 10! Ich empfehle es zu 100% weiter...
Surf Levels
I spent a week in Sri Lanka at Jungle Villa and it was just perfect!!! I would 100% recommend it if you enjoy surfing (no matter what level), do yoga and want to meet new people. The location is great, quiet and perfect for relaxing. The food was fantastic all week long, there was something different for lunch and dinner every day, most of it was even vegan.
