About
A locally owned boutique surf camp in the heart of Weligama, combining surf lessons, yoga classes, and stylish accommodation just five minutes from the beach.
Layback is a boutique surf and yoga camp that opened in 2017, created by surfers and travelers who wanted to build a friendly, creative space in Weligama. The camp sits in the middle of local life, yet remains a quiet retreat for guests looking to surf and recharge.
The main building houses five private rooms, two female dorms, and one mixed dorm. Across the street, the newer Swim Club addition offers six luxe private rooms with direct pool access. All rooms feature handcrafted furniture made by local artisans, AC, and free WiFi. Common areas include a shared patio with a communal area for socializing or working.
Weligama Bay is a five-minute walk away, making it easy to catch multiple sessions per day. The 2km beach break works well for beginners, while experienced surfers can explore 12 breaks within a 15km radius. The camp runs daily yoga classes on their intimate yoga deck, and the rooftop cafe serves food, coffee, and cocktails with ocean views throughout the day.
