This retreat will take place on the west coast of Sri Lanka in Kalpitiya on the peninsula of Puttalam. Kalpitiya beach is quite uncrowded since it is not spoilt by mass tourism. The setting in this place is amazing since it is surrounded by the lagoon and faces the Indian Ocean.

On one side of the peninsula is the Indian Ocean which is ideal for free riding and wave riding. On the other side is Kalpitiya Lagoon which is a perfect spot for beginners and freestylers. In between is Puttalam Lagoon with perfect flat water which is great for downwind trips and kite safari, freeriding, and camping.

Kitesurfing Sri Lanka's guests love their food. The food consists of fruits and vegetables from the village. They also provide fresh seafood brought in by the fishermen each morning. They also have Sri Lankan cuisine like rice & curry, hoppers and kottu as well as a range of Western dishes. Free tea, coffee, and drinking water around the clock will also be served.
