Yoga Education, Retreats & Community in Sri Lanka
A purpose-built retreat and event venue on the shores of Koggala Lake. Designed for yoga retreats, teacher trainings and immersive experiences, with everything your group needs in one place.
A Venue Built for Meaningful Gatherings
Our venue is one-of-a-kind, situated by calm waters, offering a peaceful alternative to busy beach locations. Our spacious facility includes open living areas, cosy hideaways, dedicated yoga spaces, lush gardens, abundant tree canopies, and more. We've designed it with a sincere commitment to hosting yoga retreats and teacher trainings for those who have a deep love for nature.
More Than Just an Event Venue
A beautiful location is only part of the equation. Great events happen when the space, the atmosphere and the practical details all work together. That's exactly what Lanka Yoga was built for.
The Location
On the shores of Koggala Lake, five minutes from Habaraduwa Beach and ten from the surf town of Ahangama. Galle Fort and the cafés of the south coast are within easy reach, with Colombo airport around a two-hour drive away.
The Yoga Shala
Our open-air shala was purpose-built for retreats, teacher trainings and workshops. The spacious, pillar-free design offers flexibility for different teaching styles, while a full range of mats and props means you can arrive ready to teach.
The Nature
Every room and communal space looks out across Koggala Lake, surrounded by tropical gardens and native wildlife. Monkeys, kingfishers, eagles and the occasional crocodile are all part of daily life — peaceful without feeling remote.
The Space
Designed to encourage connection and downtime. Alongside the shala and accommodation you'll find open lawns, a swimming pool, fruit trees, vegetable gardens and plenty of quiet corners to relax between sessions.
The Vibe
Intentionally warm, relaxed and welcoming. Small groups, shared meals and thoughtful details create an atmosphere more like arriving at a friend's home than checking into a hotel — while still offering the professionalism hosts need.
Sustainability
Looking after the place we call home is part of how we operate. From water filtration and waste management to our vegetable garden and local sourcing, we make long-term choices that reduce our environmental footprint.
From the People Who've Hosted Here
Accommodation for Your Group
Lanka Yoga can accommodate groups of up to 25 guests across nine thoughtfully designed rooms. Every room overlooks Koggala Lake and is within a short walk of the yoga shala, dining area and pool, creating a retreat experience where everything feels connected.
Lake View Four-Person Shared Room
Our generously sized shared rooms comfortably accommodate 4 guests in single beds — 2 on the upper mezzanine and 2 on the lower level. They offer exceptional value for minimal compromise, enjoying the same views and large shared balcony as the Lakeview rooms, with a similar oversized open-air ensuite bathroom.
Lake View Twin or Private Room
Located in the main villa, these bright and airy rooms each share a large balcony with elevated views of the lake and have oversized open-to-the-air ensuite bathrooms. Perfectly positioned to capture the lake breeze, they also come with AC. As with the Lakefront rooms, they may be set up with one queen bed or two singles.
Garden Room
Located downstairs in the main villa, this hidden green room sits in the garden surrounded by nature, with a view of the lake and a spacious outdoor bathroom. While it gets the lake breeze, it also comes with AC. Set up with one bunk bed and one single — perfect for three guests.
Lakefront Twin or Private Room
Our cosy lakefront rooms are at ground level, secluded under the tree canopy, metres from the lake shore. These contemporary ensuite rooms reflect our commitment to sustainable living and were designed for relaxation and contemplation. Ideal for couples, friends or solo travellers — can be set up with two singles or one double.
