Sri Lanka Fitness Retreat

The traditional season for the south coast runs from December to March, when the sun is hot, the surf is good and there’s very little rain. Temperatures reach their peak in April. Monsoons normally fall in May and November, while July and August usually serve up sunshine between scattered showers. We train in every season, whatever the weather.

YES! We love getting like-minded people together and helping to build new friendships. In fact, most of our guests have all arrived by themselves, and left as part of our growing community 💪🏼 Our Retreat Weeks are particularly social with the emphasis on meeting new people through team workouts, exploring the local area, nights out and generally having a good time 👌🏼

We are situated 10 minutes inland of Unawatuna, on the sunny south coast of Sri Lanka. Our retreat is 20 minutes east of Galle and 20 minutes west of Ahangama – one of the island’s most popular surf spots. Colombo, the commercial capital, is two hours north on the expressway.

Bandaranaike International Airport is situated 45 minutes north of Colombo. Getting from the airport to us couldn’t be easier: the island’s main expressway runs all the way to Galle. The journey takes an easy 2hrs 15mins by car. We can help with arranging transport to meet you off your flight.

We have everything you need for the ultimate fitness retreat. Our training room and workout spaces are fully equipped with a range of resistance machines, free weights, functional training gear, rigs, racks and more. We also have resistance bands, rollers and percussive massage guns available. If you do have a physiological issue which requires specific kit to manage, please speak to us in advance.

We’ll serve you a set of balanced meals to fuel you through the day. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are included in the packages, with one evening meal per week allocated discovering the delights of Unawatuna (not included in the package price). Fancy some extra workout fuel? You can order additional snacks, sides, desserts, drinks or anything from the menu at our retreat cafe.

Whether you’re non-dairy, gluten-free or paleo, we do our best to accommodate every type of dietary requirement. You’ll find a range of meat, fish and vegetarian meals available at our retreat cafe – and most dishes have a vegan option, too (including our protein shakes). If you have more specific dietary needs, please speak to us before your stay and we’ll make sure we have the right stuff in stock to fuel you.

We have several expert trainers on hand to help you reach your fitness goals, both male and female. If you would feel more comfortable working with a female trainer, we’ll try hard to make this happen – but please do speak to us in advance to confirm availability.

Our closest beach is Dalawella, where you’ll find a pool protected by coral reef and inhabited by turtles. The walk takes 20 minutes, passing through scenic paddy fields and small Sri Lankan villages. In a hurry? We can help arrange tuk-tuk rides or scooter rental. Alternatively, you’ll usually be able to flag down a tuk-tuk at the bottom of our hill. That’s also the best way to reach Unawatuna beach, which is a 10-minute drive away.

Sri Lanka is a sweaty place at the best of times, let alone after a hardcore workout. Luckily, all of our accommodation is air-conditioned, as well as our gym – so you can chill out before, during and after your training. We also have big fans in the open-sided café area to keep the airflow moving.

Need to wash your workout gear? We can deal with your dirty laundry. Drop it with us and we’ll have it cleaned (for a fee) – ready for you to get it sweaty all over again.
