Lanka Living is South West Sri Lankas freshest surf camp.
Nestled in the jungle tree tops of Ahangama just minutes away from amazing warm water waves; our jungle villa has something for everyone.
We have two beautiful luxury private rooms: one with air to conditioning and one with an upstairs balcony and large private bathroom. Two standard private double rooms and our colourful,spacious globetrotter dorm. It’s important to have somewhere comfy to chill after a big surf sesh which is why we’ve made as many chill areas as we can. Our favourite is our amazing giant hammock filled with pillows. We also have an x box and a flat screen tv and pop corn for movie nights.
We’ve also got plenty of perfect hidey holes to have some pre drinks or maybe an after party without bothering the sleepy heads who might have passed out already. We understand everyone is an individual and we embrace that! This is why all our packages can be customized depending on your budget and skill level.
Our beach break in Kabalana is perfect for beginners to play in the white wash and practice their technique, our instructors will get you standing up in no time! For those ready for green waves or intermediate surfers we have an epic reef break close by named after one of our owners Rajith.
Come surf hard, play hard and chill with us in sunny south west Sri Lanka!
WE ARE OPEN FROM NOVEMBER to APRIL, HOWEVER WILL NOT BE TAKING BOOKINGS UNTIL THE 2022 SEASON.

How were the surf lessons?
My experience with Mikaela Ekfeldt. I spent some awesome weeks in Sri Lanka this year! I was focused on improving my surfing, this is how I met Mikaela as my surfing instructor. I had so many different instructors, teachers, lecturers,… in my life, but Mikaela is the best! She was pushing me to a level I never expected to reach in this holiday. I always thought surfing is a very serious thing because nobody was talking in the lineup! Now I know: it doesn't have to be that serious! We where laughing so much, and we had so much fun out in the water… it was just amazing! If we where on the reef break, in the white water or doing exercises on the beach: fun, fun, fun! This young girl made me (and all the other surf camp members) laughing and enjoying our time! (even on the dance floor making party) I came there as a customer and I left as a friend. Mikaela, thank you for the wonderful time.

How were the surf lessons?
Mikaela is an extremely passionate surf coach who gave me loads of confidence in the water and made me overcome my fear. Her cheering personality pumps up your mood up and makes spending time with her quite fun. She quickly figured out my needs and gave me excactly what I needed. I can highly recommend Mikaela as a surfcoach for all who wanna improve their surfing and have an unforgettable time in the waves.

How did you like the accommodation?
The camp is Amazing, the location is spot on and the vibe is exactly what i looked for on my vacation. The rooms are big and comfy, lush garden, quiet and peaceful area with only few min away from everything you can possibly need.
How were the surf lessons?
Mikaela- this girl is better than any energy drink, more effective than dextrose and more energetic than any protein bar. When I met this girl the first time in the tropical zone, I got little scared cause she had “balls like a bull”- she was damn strong. After the first surfsession with her- I knew SHE is it, she should be my teacher: she took all my fear from my shoulders, she gave me faith in myself where of I started to trust myself, she was still honest with me and accepted as well as respected my limits [whenever my fear got bigger than the waves] and of course she showed me how to get control over yourself/myself if you get into a runaway situation in the wild ocean. This girl is not just a motivation bomb- she is a gorgeous all around packet: she can dance with you- whenever you miss music in your life, she will cry with you- whenever you want to share your sufferbaggage. But she will show you as well her teeth through a huge smile to remember you on the sunny moments in life and she will be the best lifeguard buddy you can imagine- whenever you need to catch a new vibe. So all in one: she is an unique, strong, disciplined, open, interesting, beautiful and faithful person- so the best “bar” you can get. See you hopefully soon, babe.

Mikaela took D and myself under her wing during a surf trip to Sri Lanka. As an instructor she strikes the right balance between supportive and taking no bullshit. She observed our ability and bought us out surfing out on some of the local reefs. D and I were confident in the water but unsure of our skills when it came to knowing what to drop into. Mikaela pushed us out of our comfort zones encouraging us to take risks and progress our surfing, knowing what we able for and what we weren't. We both came out buzzing from surf sessions. You can be guaranteed to learn about the technical aspects of surfing, whilst having a balance of banter, and building your confidence with Mikaela and her team. Mikaela took time out of her own day to show us the lay of the land, give us useful tips an info when we set off to explore central Sri Lanka. I'll be back to train with Mikaela and hopefully push my surfing, have the banter and enjoy the beautiful beaches and mountains and curry Sri Lanka and Mikaelas team has to offer.

Mikaela is the best surf teacher I ever had! She is so much fun to surf with and to learn from.
In the water she is joking a lot, so you have to laugh all the time and you definitely have a good time. Mikaela is very professional too because when she needs to explain something she can be serious and explain it clearly.
She pays a lot of attention on safety and always keep an eye on her customers.
Mikaela always motivates you and cheer you up!
