Take over PALM, or make it your base, and build the programme around your group.
Retreats at PALM can be shaped around fitness, wellness, surf, corporate, creative and other group experiences, bringing accommodation, food, movement, recovery and activities together around the stay.
Groups can take all of the accommodation or reserve only the rooms they need, depending on the size and format of the retreat.
Shape the stay around your group. Reserve all of PALM’s rooms for up to 24 guests, or choose the rooms that suit a smaller retreat, while the hotel continues its usual rhythm.
Food is an important part of any retreat. Meals are built around the rhythm of the group, from easy breakfasts and lunches to long dinners in the garden. Our kitchen leans into Sri Lankan flavours, seasonal ingredients and food designed to be shared.
Our onsite, fully equipped boutique gym, operated by CrossFit Ceylon, gives retreat groups a few different ways to train. Retreat participants are free to use the gym individually outside class times, groups can reserve the space exclusively to run their own classes, or we can arrange custom programming with our coaches around the needs of the retreat.
Ahangama is made for surf, and a retreat is a good excuse to try something new together. PALM surf lessons can be built into the programme for beginners, with sessions on the sandy-bottomed waves of Kabalana.
We arrange the boards, coaches and transport from PALM, so the group can simply turn up and get in the water.
Recovery can be built into the retreat programme at PALM, from in-room massage to breathwork, meditation and nervous system regulation sessions. Yoga, Pilates, sauna and ice baths are also available nearby around Ahangama.
PALM sits between the ocean and jungle in Ahangama, with beaches, surf, restaurants and a growing creative community close by. Further afield, retreat days can take in Galle Fort, safari and other experiences across the South.
A big part of our offer is making things easy for the organiser. You shape the retreat; PALM helps bring the practical pieces together.
Tell us your dates, group size and what you’d like to build into the stay.
