If you already surf and mainly want the villa life near the waves, start with the Free Surf Package (accommodation, meals, and equipment access), then add coaching or yoga if you want more structure.

I absolutely love this camp!

I absolutely love this camp. This was my second experience with Gota Dagua, and it was just as fun and memorable as the first. It brings together amazing people from all over the world, many of whom quickly become great friends. The social hosts and managers do an incredible job and really make the whole experience special. I have also improved my surfing a lot thanks to the surf instructors, and the local Sri Lankan staff made every morning even better with their warmth and kindness. Thank you, Gota Dagua.
