The camp

Dinner at PURE is eaten on the sand, in a garden that opens onto Kathaluwa beach and faces the sunset. Every room looks at the sea, and the three-bed room on the ground floor has French windows straight onto the beach. The bar is open all day, coffee and tea are free from 7 am to 6 pm, and one of the week's five dinners is a seafood barbecue.

Kathaluwa sits between Ahangama and Midigama, and that is what sets the house apart. Outside the door is a sand-bottom beach break with no rocks and no current, so a beginner learns a few steps from bed. The Rock is ten minutes' walk and often busy. The tuk-tuk shuttle gets you to Midigama's reefs in fifteen: Lazy Left, the gentlest, for your first reef, Plantations, as consistent as The Rock with hardly anyone on it, and Rams, the short hollow right for genuinely good surfers. You choose lessons or guiding for the week, with five yoga sessions and one video review.

Boards are not included: €10 a day. You can arrive on any day, for five nights minimum. Kathaluwa has its cafés; for a night out, Mirissa's beach bars are fifteen minutes away by tuk-tuk.

Right for a first week with the school outside your door, or for somebody who already surfs and wants the whole coast within fifteen minutes.

Frequently asked questions

  • I am a beginner. Is this the right place?

    Yes. The beach break in front of the camp has a sand bottom, no rocks and no current, and lessons happen a few steps from the rooms, two hours a session, Monday to Friday. Once you are standing, Lazy Left, the gentlest of Midigama's four reefs, is fifteen minutes away.

  • What is not included?

    The board at €10 a day, lunches, two dinners out of seven, bar drinks and the transfer: €75 on arrival and €65 on departure, per car of up to three people. A taxi costs €60 to €80; the bus costs under €5 but takes four to seven hours.

  • Can I book less than a week?

    Yes, from five nights, arriving on any day. The nightly rate covers the same package, per person: from €86 in the dorm until the end of October to €129 in a double or twin between November and mid-May.
