Surf Essential
April - July 2026
Surf Essential is the ideal package for anyone who wants to learn to surf or level up their skills in a fun, relaxed environment. Whether you’re a total beginner or already catching green waves, this camp gives you a solid mix of structured lessons and free surf time — with no pressure and loads of support. 🌊
You’ll get 10 hours of expert surf instruction (2 hours a day, Monday to Friday), plus 2–3 guided surf sessions during the week where you can get extra tips and confidence in the water. We also include video analysis and surf theory, so you’re not just surfing — you’re actually progressing. 💪
You’ll stay at Our Surf House, enjoy a fresh breakfast every morning, and have unlimited access to surf equipment all week long. And when you’re not surfing? There’s plenty of time to explore Arugam Bay, join beach activities, or just chill by the pool with new mates.

Our Surf House is your comfy, social base right in the heart of Arugam Bay. Just a short walk from the beach, it’s the perfect spot to relax, reset, and connect — whether you’re here to surf, stretch, or simply soak up the sunshine. ☀️🌴
The rooms are huge, all with private en-suites, and a range of options from dorms to deluxe with balconies. Most rooms are shared unless you’re booking together or upgrading — but they’re all clean, cool (yes, there’s A/C), and super comfortable.
When you’re not in the water, there’s a brand new swimming pool to chill by, two yoga shalas, and loads of space to hang out, meet new people, or grab a drink from the on-site bar. The vibe is super laid-back, but there’s always something going on — from beach games to chill evenings under the stars.
And yep, breakfast is included every morning to get your day started right. 🥞🍉☕
