Sri Lanka, an island floating in the blue waters of the Indian Ocean and the Bay of Bengal, is very famous for its beaches. The entire island is surrounded by blue crystal clear ocean. The surf in Sri Lanka is there on the whole south coast. It is said that the best time for surfers to go to Sri Lanka is from April through to October. Sri Lanka is an exciting and uncrowded surfing destination which will pleasantly surprise you by numerous things. An untouched trio of mountains, jungles, and white-sand beaches has put Sri Lanka on travelers’ maps for years, and now the country’s recent stability has made it a more appealing option in South Asia than ever before. Sri Lanka is a country of splendid beaches. In addition to beautiful, and mostly deserted, beaches, Sri Lanka has jungles, waterfalls, high mountains, and amazing animals.
Set in a prime seaside location beside one of Sri Lanka’s most undiscovered and sheltered beaches, Talalla Retreat is a boutique hotel and yoga retreat center. Unlike other tourist attractions, surfing is not something that could be done in every beach and sand. Overlooking an undiscovered beach of calm turquoise sea at the southern tip of Sri Lanka beside the village of Gandara, Talalla Retreat offers beat beaches for surfing. Talalla is featured in the 2012 edition of the Lonely Planet Guide to Sri Lanka as “one of the best beach hotels in Sri Lanka” situated on a picture-postcard, golden sand beach, fringed by coconut palms and brightly coloured fishing boats. Occasional yoga, tai chi and meditation courses are run in the spacious pavilion; daily drop-in yoga classes and private tuition are also usually available. Talalla Retreat is set in beautiful grounds, with a huge yoga shala and just a short stroll from the beach.

This is a stunning, relaxing, peaceful, friendly place to stay where the guests can enjoy a wide range of activities, with a focus on yoga and surfing, to add to their journey towards total relaxation.
