Retreats for fitness, wellness, surf, corporate, creative and other special-interest groups, with accommodation, food, movement, recovery and activities brought together around the stay.
Retreats work in two ways. A full buyout for groups wanting complete privacy and exclusive use of PALM, or a partial buyout for smaller groups that only need a number of rooms and can run their programme alongside the hotel. Programmes are built around the group, at PALM or beyond PALM.
Surf breaks, wildlife, beaches, UNESCO heritage, tea country and a tropical coastline. One island, endless possibilities.
A small town with a global community and a different pace of life, between the ocean and the jungle.
Take over the whole property, or make it your base. Nine rooms, the Palm Pavilion restaurant and bar, a pool, gardens and a gym, for groups of up to 24, with everything brought together around the stay.
PALM comfortably hosts up to 24 guests in its standard configuration. PALM Haus is especially useful for hosts and organisers, with its shared living space, kitchen and terrace.
Food is part of the group experience, not an add-on. Life at PALM centres around the open-air pavilion and pool, with an all-day kitchen, Sri Lankan flavours and seasonal ingredients, designed to be shared.
Depending on the stay, this could include breakfast, group lunches and dinners, Sri Lankan meals, Island Plates, poolside barbecues, seafood dinners, sharing menus, snacks, coffee and drinks. Everything can be adapted around the group and dietary requirements.
Private training and custom programming through CrossFit Ceylon PALM, our fully equipped boutique gym on site. Open gym is complimentary for hotel guests outside class hours, with daily group classes in CrossFit, Booty & Abs, Muay Thai, Endurance and Strength, or take the whole gym over with your own coaches.
Ahangama is made for it. Whether your group is getting on a board for the first time or chasing better waves, PALM surf lessons take care of the right break for the conditions, the board, coach and transport. Private lessons run for two hours, for first timers, kids, families and anyone building confidence in the water.
In-room massage at PALM, with yoga and Pilates, sauna and ice baths, padel and pickleball and other movement and recovery experiences organised nearby around Ahangama. Some happen at PALM, others we arrange close by.
The wider South Coast is part of the experience. Beaches, Galle Fort, safari, cooking experiences, local crafts, sailing, restaurants and other excursions, shaped around the group rather than a fixed list.
Weddings, milestone birthdays, family get-togethers, groups of friends and other private celebrations, generally based around a full buyout of PALM: exclusive use of the accommodation, pool, restaurant and bar pavilion, gardens and shared spaces.
Food, drinks, entertainment, styling, transport and the rest can all be shaped around the occasion. Not a traditional wedding hotel, more a place to take over and make your own. Tell us what you are planning and we will put together a custom proposal.
All yours for the duration. The accommodation, pool, restaurant and bar pavilion, gardens and shared spaces, with PALM Haus as a natural base for hosts and organisers.
A big part of the offer is making things easy for the organiser. You shape the experience you want; PALM brings the practical pieces together. The same support for retreats, weddings and celebrations.
