A Retreat Designed Around Balance
This retreat is not about strict schedules or intensive training.

Whether you’re travelling solo, with a partner or with friends, you’ll find a supportive environment that welcomes all levels of experience.

Why Arugam Bay?
Arugam Bay is one of Sri Lanka’s most beautiful coastal destinations, known for its relaxed atmosphere, long sandy beaches, tropical nature and world-class surf.
Beyond the ocean, the area is home to elephants, crocodiles, exotic birdlife and nearby national parks, making it one of the most unique destinations in Sri Lanka for combining wellness, adventure and nature.
At Stay Golden, you’ll experience the quieter side of Arugam Bay — beachfront accommodation surrounded by nature, just far enough from town to fully unwind while still being close enough to enjoy everything the area has to offer.

Throughout the week, Led Classes help build rhythm and confidence, while dedicated workshops explore key elements of the Ashtanga method, including breath, alignment, transitions and yoga philosophy.
This retreat is suitable for both newer and experienced practitioners. If you’re looking for an authentic Ashtanga Yoga retreat in Sri Lanka, you’ll find a supportive environment to deepen your practice while enjoying the slower rhythm of tropical island life.

Learn to Surf in Arugam Bay
Known as Sri Lanka’s surf capital, Arugam Bay offers warm water, consistent waves and excellent conditions for learning to surf or improving your technique.
Professional surf instructors will guide you through each session, whether you’re catching your first wave or refining your skills. Surfing naturally complements Ashtanga Yoga by developing balance, focus, mobility and resilience—qualities that benefit both practices.
Combining yoga and surfing creates the perfect balance of challenge, play and recovery.

This retreat is designed as a complete wellness experience.
Between yoga and surf sessions, enjoy healthy food, quiet mornings, beach walks, poolside afternoons and the relaxed atmosphere that has made Arugam Bay one of Sri Lanka’s favourite destinations for yoga practitioners, surfers and conscious travellers.
Optional experiences such as wildlife safaris, Ayurvedic massages and local adventures allow you to make the retreat your own.

Why Stay Golden?
Stay Golden is a boutique yoga hotel in Arugam Bay created for travellers seeking meaningful experiences rather than busy resort holidays.
Located directly by the beach, our retreat space combines comfortable accommodation, an ocean-view rooftop yoga shala, healthy café, swimming pool and a welcoming international community.
