Sri Lanka Budget-friendly Retreat
Dates 2021 TBA Travel restrictions PENDING
All inclusive- $2200 per person
Get away from the Winter Cold and Relax, Reset and Restore in the most lush, pristine, laid back and easy going beaches bays in the whole of Sri Lanka... hidden off the beaten track, Komari is a secluded paradise . The Lighthouse Beach Huts are one of only 2 properties in the Komari area, set right on the beach 20mins away from the tourist area of Arugum Bay on the East Coast- a famous surf break. The huts are basic, with your own ensuite and hammocks hung outside. Owned by locals and catered lovingly with fresh produce, fish and coconuts right off the trees next to your huts... you'll never want to leave.
I wanted to create a Retreat offering that is attainable for all... we all deserve to be able to get away and experience beautiful places without spending all our savings. That way we can do them more often ;)
We will enjoy 5 nights at the Lighthouse Beach Huts in Komari, after 2 nights in Negombo we then fly from Colombo to near Komari on the civilian military charter flights to avoid the often painful road traffic. Arriving by coach to Komari for our secluded beach retreat.
2 classes of Yoga a day with morning meditation & pranayama will give you the opportunity to immerse yourself in your practice and really progress in a safe and playful environment.
See some of the best Sri Lanka has to offer and take some time out for yourself before or after to explore the Island.
All levels of practice welcome but experience in Yoga is necessary.

Fly to Colombo
Flights from Australia get into Sri Lanka around 10pm-12am Midnight and only indirect from Sydney via somewhere in Asia depending on the carrier.
There are direct flights from Melbourne & Brisbane with Sri Lankan Airlines
Recommended flights:
Singapore Airlines SYDNEY-SINGAPORE-COLOMBO
Aprox 11-13hrs either way, flights arrive into Colombo Airport around midnight so transport from the airport to accomodation is arranged
BUDGET option: From Sydney there are cheaper flights with Air Asia from $600 on Sale right now!!!! return with a 4hr stop over in KL
*advice is check the layover times and destinations... this will affect how comfortable or uncomfortable the flight will be.
The Space:
The Lighthouse Beach Huts is a family owned property built on the beach in Komari- it's one of only 2 accomodation options on this magical stretch of beach. Built gradually after the whole area was washed away during the tsunami, the owner Ranga planted the coconut forest here himself since.
The Yoga space is covered and on a cement floor so great during the hot months as it stays cool (this was the selling point for me)
The accomodation is basic, singular huts with mosquito nets hidden amongst the coconut trees each little ensuite attached. Most have a hammock outside for naps and reading breaks.
The beach is literally outside the huts... usually empty of tourists and a perfect spot to learn to surf, spend the day amongst the waves and loose track of time.
There is a communal area for meals- all the food is cooked by the family and is just delicious- both traditional Sri Lankan food as well as Western options available... fresh young coconuts are plentiful cut straight off the trees around us.
It really feels like you're a million miles away from the business of home and work. Truely paradise. When I visited in 2019 I knew this was somewhere special I wanted to share with people.
