Soul & Surf-Varkala

Excellent experience! Great people, great atmosphere. Recommend it for anyone looking to learn how to surf or improve their surfing skills. Apart from surfing, they have yoga too! But what makes this place unique is the staff and management. They have a unique operating style that is a breath of fresh air compared to any hotel I’ve ever been too! Keep up the good work guys!

Soul&surf is a magic place: beautiful house and garden just over the cliff with an amazing view on the ocean. Surf lessons with the best local instructors (best learning ever from very kind people)and yoga lessons (yin, vinyasa, prayanama)on the roof top (get the surf &yoga package) You can also enjoy holistic massages (best i’ve ever had) They have a real good restaurant (indian & occidental mix), a coffee and a lot of spots to have a chill moment or enjoy the view. All the staff is very attentive. It’s more than just a Surf House, there is something very special here! You ´ll feel like at home with a new family

We have been to both Sri Lanka and Portugal Soul & Surf resorts. We were absolutely blown away by the lush locations, amazing accommodation, fantastic food, sensational surf and yoga teachers and marvelous massages. The staff were incredible. Loved every minute. Thank you Soul and Surf. We'll be back xx

Great memories made at Soul & Surf Portugal - I felt nourished by good food, yoga and great company. Loved the delightful details of the place and the surf sessions blew me away, such amazing beaches. Get yourself there for an unforgettable experience. Quiet rooms · Helpful concierge · Great hotel bar · Thoughtful amenities · Spacious rooms

I had such an amazing week at Soul & Surf. The yoga and surf were amazing, I could have stayed a lot longer. I mean, sunrise surf and rooftop sunset yoga, taught by a fab bunch of people, what more can a girl want?

My time and Soul and Surf was amazing. I have never done, yoga, meditation or surfing. My experience exceeded all my expectations and I cannot recommend Soul and Surf enough. The team are simply brilliant and the Sri Lankan location is just beautiful. I cannot recommend this enough and I will certainly be attending Soul and Surf again. Thank you Team Soul and Surf. You are all brilliant.

I spent about 4 days at the Soul and Surf in Varkala back in October. I was in Bangalore for work and the original draw for me was how accessible it was (it's only about an hour drive from the TRV airport). So if you happen to be in India, it's very easy to spend a long weekend here Had an awesome time. Great activities, great food, great people. Perfect for solo travelers. Would absolutely recommend

I stayed at Soul & Surf for two weeks. The place is unique and special. All the people are so very kind. Food is tasty and not expensive. I attended yoga classes almost every day and also had my first experience on surfing, highly recommend both. The place felt like home. The only one down side was the moment when I had to leave the place behind. Thank you S&S for great memories.

Last week we stayed with our two kids of 12 and 9 years old at Soul and Surf. It was really a unique experience. Very recommendable. The place has a great vibe and above all the people are very kind, helpful and they always have a smile on their face. Food is great and not expensive. Breakfast is delicious, with lots of fruit, pancakes and eggs. They have a few nice dogs walking around and as our kids love animals, they had a great time playing with them. Those are very quiet, friendly dogs. The accommodation is spacious, overlooking a nice garden with ocean view. The rooms are light, spacious and very clean. We went to the BBQ-night and the pizza/movie night. This offers an opportunity to get to know the other guests, listen to their stories or simply relax in the garden at night. The beach is long and has nice waves and is not crowded. Our kids had surf lessons from Andy. He is a very professional, enthusiastic instructor who loves to share his passion for surf. All the other guides/instructors gave a good impression as well. You will find a great mix of local and foreign people, which makes the experience even more interesting. Guests will not regret the surfing experience as they are driven to the surf spot early in the morning with these great old cars and some tuk tuks. We went on a sightseeing trip with one of the tuk tuk drivers, who was recommended by S&S. We can very much recommend this tour as it gives a good impression of the area. Thank you very much (muchas gracias) for this great experience.

Soul & Surf does what it says on the tin! I left feeling rejuvenated and soul fed after a week of surfing, yoga, amazing food, warm sunshine, warm sea and warm people. I was met with an openness that made me feel immediately at home both by the wonderful staff, the local surf instructors and the other guests. I booked the 3 surf lessons and 6 yoga sessions and was up on my board on the first day undoubtedly due to the brilliant surfing team. The level of support they provide, both technically and in moral support, was above and beyond my expectations. From the first lesson, going through everything in detail to getting me out past the narly waves and sticking with me offering verbal and physical support they were just brilliant. The rooms are spotless and lovely, the food is amazing and the free mineral water is a great bonus. Thanks for an amazing time. The hard part was leaving!

This is the type of experience that everyone should try! They offer the perfect combination! Yoga + balanced food + amazing surf classes and tips + chill at the pool and most important their staff is just GREAT! They make you fill home and very special! Don’t loose your time....book one week with them!!!

Just a perfect combo of learning how to surf, goog food and yoga & relaxing. Can't thank you guys enough for showing me a way to a new world on water. Pure ��

Beautiful accomodation, delicious food, great staff and a week packed with activities to choose from! My first ever surf camp and hopefully not the last one with Soul & Surf!��

This is amazing and luxurious sanctuary. Anna and her team couldn't do enough to make our stay absolutely perfect. We arranged to be there for one week and loved it so much that we extend our stay two. The food is plentiful and outstanding - all freshly made from local ingredients. The design and architecture are stunning, its so relaxing. There are communal and private spaces ...you can do whatever you feel. The mix of surfing and yoga is great and the levels of teaching extremely good. I cannot recommend Soul & Surf highly enough.
