EXPLORE.. Sri Lanka's spectacular southern tip


A tropical surf destination rich with culture and history, bejewelled with exquisite palm-fringed beaches, turquoise waters, lush tea plantations and warm local smiles.. Sri Lanka's unique natural beauty invites exploration and discovery.

Talalla's resident Aussie surf guide will acquaint you with the southern coastline of this exotic island nation - a premier surfing region boasting limitless secluded surf spots and first class waves.

SURF.. a smorgasbord of world-class breaks


Sri Lanka is considered one of the most reliable surf destinations on the planet thanks to consistent Indian Ocean swells, but things really heat up from October through to April as the monsoon in the island's northeast generates steady offshore winds to the south, for waves with serious grunt.

Talalla is the perfect base to explore an abundance of breaks dotted along the southern coastline. From mellow waves for beginners to monster reef breaks for the seasoned surfer, our daily surf adventures, lead by our surf guide, will acquaint you with any amount of peeling lefts and rights, secluded point and reef breaks, and no shortage of great tube rides.

RELAX.. in elegant simplicity, Talalla style


Talalla's tranquil resort setting, and your home during your surfing stay, is geared towards utter relaxation. Welcome the day with some sunrise yoga, take a stroll along the beachfront, revive with a plunge into the sparkling pool, indulge in a soothing spa treatment, or simply surrender to the serenade of birdsong.

Reside in elegant villa accommodation just metres from Talalla Beach, acquaint with a barefoot luxury lifestyle, and savour the flavour of Sri Lanka, with nourishing pre surf breakfasts, packed picnic lunches and evening a la carte specialties featuring the freshest seafood sourced daily from local fishermen, prepared by Talalla's own gourmet chef.
