The differences between our Kima Surf Camps in Sri Lanka
Are you organising your upcoming trip to Sri Lanka to surf? Discovering nature and culture, and the relaxed atmosphere that make this enchanted island an ideal visit. We can’t wait to make your trip truly unique by welcoming you to our Kima Surf Camps! We have two Kima Surf Camps, one in Hiriketiya and one in Weligama. Both provide the same superior services and standards.
Deciding between Weligama and Hiriketiya can be tough, but fear not! This guide will help you pick the Kima Surf Camp that perfectly fits your ultimate Sri Lanka adventure!
Weligama: Get in touch with people and learn to surf
We built our own distinctive and relaxed surf camp at Weligama, which is situated on the southwest coast and can house about 70 people. The camp is situated on a 150-year-old, real Sri Lankan colonial estate with more than 140 fruit trees. These fresh fruits are part of our cuisine!
There are enough private hideouts where you can spend some me-time reading your book, listening to a podcast, or calling your friends back home to tell them all about your most recent surf session. The camp’s centre is a social hub with plenty of places to relax and socialise, play games against the surf guides, enjoy the pool, play beach volleyball and engage in other social activities. These activities take place five times a week.
This place is ideal for lone travellers, offering a variety of cosy dorm rooms that may house four to eight people.
Seeking a little more seclusion and tranquillity? Also available at our Weligama camp are chic double rooms, suites, a private villa and communal bedrooms that can be reserved as private. Every room satisfies Western standards and has air conditioning, ample storage, and a private bathroom with a hot shower.
A short stroll from the sandy beaches and beach break waves is the serene setting of the camp’s beautiful tropical gardens. Ready for bigger waves and feeling adventurous? From our camp, take a short tuk-tuk journey to more advanced breaks. Unwind with a spa treatment, do yoga, or connect with other surfers while the sun sets on the beach after tearing up the waves.

Hiriketiya: Peace and a Connection with Nature
On the southeast coast of Sri Lanka, our Surf Camp Hiriketiya staff welcome you in a peaceful and tranquil sanctuary. This area has a more personal feel because it can accommodate about 25 people, compared to our camp in Weligama. The waves are ideal for beginners to intermediates and more experienced breaks are only a short drive away. The location is near the well-known Hiriketiya Bay.
We primarily provide individual rooms at Hiriketiya, which can also be reserved as shared accommodations. Secluded, roomy, and cosy cabanas, modelled after traditional jungle huts, offering a distinctive fusion of native charm and Western elegance. It adds something additional to your Sri Lankan Kima experience!
Options include private cabanas, the deluxe cabana with a private plunge pool, and the luxury dorm. It is ideal for a lovely getaway because it is bordered by a lush, green jungle and has all the modern conveniences like air conditioning, a refrigerator, and charging ports.
A connection to nature and plenty of privacy is provided by Hiriketiya. Enjoy a nutritious three-course meal and unwind by one of the pools or on your balcony after tearing up the waves during your morning session.
While surfing is the main attraction at Kima Surf, you may enhance your experience by participating in our yoga and fitness courses. Before your second surf session, find your inner peace in our open yoga shala. In our breezy open training centre, which overlooks the pool and the jungle, you may concentrate on the muscles that are required for a successful surf. Enjoy supper together while watching the sunset and sipping drinks on the beach to round off your day.
