Built from scratch by a woman who made Sri Lanka her home six years ago and only started surfing in her late 30s, it was shaped by what didn\u2019t exist at the time: a space designed specifically for women, coached by women, and centred on adult learners.<\/p>\n<p>The Sevana challenges the idea that surfing has a single \u201cright\u201d way to look, feel or progress. The retreats are designed around a philosophy that values understanding over pressure, and progression that meets women where they are. Each retreat focuses on one surf level only, with a maximum of five women per week, with video analysis, allowing for personalised coaching led by an experienced woman head coach.<\/p>\n<p>This is your precious time away, so space for rest and recovery is built into each day. Guests stay in spacious, design-led cabana suites surrounded by nature, with nourishing food, a pool, gym and yoga area. The retreats also support local organisations in Sri Lanka that empower women and marginalised communities, helping ensure the benefits extend beyond the retreats themselves.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008080;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesevana.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"color: #008080;\">thesevana.com<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/13.jpg\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1400\" alt=\"Surfing at The Sevana\" class=\"wp-image-280994 alignleft size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/13.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/13-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/13-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/13-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/13-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/13-610x610.jpg 610w, https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/13-1080x1080.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/13-440x440.jpg 440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/el_modal_popup][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Girls-at-Sundazed-Retreats.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Girls at Sundazed Retreats&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Girls at Sundazed Retreats&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #008080;\">Sundazed Retreats<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][el_modal_popup modal_id=&#8221;Sundazed Retreats&#8221; trigger_button_text=&#8221;Read More&#8221; modal_title=&#8221;Sundazed Retreats&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008080;\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2-5.jpg\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1400\" alt=\"Girls going surfing at Sundazed Retreats\" class=\"wp-image-280998 alignleft size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2-5.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2-5-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2-5-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2-5-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2-5-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2-5-610x610.jpg 610w, https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2-5-1080x1080.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2-5-440x440.jpg 440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/>Sundazed Retreats, Women\u2019s Surf and Lifestyle Retreats<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Sundazed Retreats is a women-founded, women-led surf rooted in female empowerment and the belief that surfing is one of life\u2019s greatest teachers.

Each retreat blends surf coaching with yoga, breathwork, mindset coaching, and local exploration, creating a balanced experience that supports both physical progression and inner reflection.<\/p>\n<p>In Sri Lanka, Sundazed Retreats partners with Global Surf and is based in Kabalana, a relaxed coastal village close to Ahangama on the island\u2019s south coast. Known for its warm water, accessible waves, and laid-back surf culture, the area offers a rhythm that encourages slowing down and reconnecting. With its rich flavours, tropical landscapes, and deep sense of history, Sri Lanka provides a setting that feels both grounding and exotic, where each day unfolds through ocean time, shared meals, and stories shaped by place.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sundazedretreats.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #008080;\">sundazedretreats.com<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/3-4.jpg\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1400\" alt=\"Girls at the pool at Sundazed Retreats\" class=\"wp-image-280999 alignleft size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/3-4.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/3-4-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/3-4-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/3-4-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/3-4-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/3-4-610x610.jpg 610w, https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/3-4-1080x1080.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/3-4-440x440.jpg 440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/el_modal_popup][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Surfing-at-Solid-Surf-House.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Surfing at Solid Surf House&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Surfing at Solid Surf House&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #008080;\">Solid Surf House<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][el_modal_popup modal_id=&#8221;Solid Surf House&#8221; trigger_button_text=&#8221;Read More&#8221; modal_title=&#8221;Solid Surf House&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008080;\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/3-5.jpg\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1400\" alt=\"Solid Surf House Pool\" class=\"wp-image-281003 alignleft size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/3-5.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/3-5-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/3-5-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/3-5-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/3-5-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/3-5-610x610.jpg 610w, https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/3-5-1080x1080.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/3-5-440x440.jpg 440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008080;\"><strong>Solid Surf House, Weligama<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Nestled on Sri Lanka\u2019s breathtaking south coast, Solid Surf House is set in the lush green headland of Cape Weligama, just steps from the ocean and overlooking the iconic Weligama Bay.

They have two retreat locations on Sri Lanka\u2019s south coast, each offering a different rhythm while sharing the same philosophy.<\/p>\n<p>The Jungle Villa is designed for surfers craving stillness and reconnection. Surrounded by lush vegetation and alive with the sounds of nature, it feels wonderfully secluded, yet the beaches and the energy of Unawatuna are just a short drive away. Days here move slowly, with surf sessions, nourishing meals, and space to truly switch off.<\/p>\n<p>For those who prefer more salty air, the Beach Lodge delivers a more oceanfront experience. Positioned directly in front of the retreat\u2019s home break, it allows guests to check the conditions from their balcony and step straight into the lineup, the kind of effortless access surfers dream about.<\/p>\n<p>Yoga sits at the heart of every Surf Spirit retreat, with twice-daily sessions designed to complement time in the water. Expect practices that build strength and mobility while creating room for mental clarity, helping both beginners and experienced surfers recover, reset, and return to the waves feeling stronger.<\/p>\n<p>Yet what guests often remember most is the atmosphere. There\u2019s an ease to life at Surf Spirit, a welcoming, community-led environment where solo travellers quickly feel at home and shared experiences naturally turn into lasting friendships. It\u2019s less about ticking boxes and more about how the retreat makes you feel: grounded, supported, and deeply connected to the ocean.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008080;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.surf-spirit.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"color: #008080;\">surf-spirit.com<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/3-6.jpg\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1400\" alt=\"Girls getting ready for surfing at Surf Spirit\" class=\"wp-image-281008 alignleft size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/3-6.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/3-6-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/3-6-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/3-6-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/3-6-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/3-6-610x610.jpg 610w, https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/3-6-1080x1080.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/3-6-440x440.jpg 440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>[\/el_modal_popup][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/doodle-palm-trees.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;doodle-palm-trees&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #008080;\">Want to read more travel stories?<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/travel\/&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Click Here&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sri Lanka has quietly become one of the world\u2019s most compelling surf destinations.
