This 10-day journey is an invitation to breathe deeper, move slower, and feel more fully. From oceanfront yoga flows to firelit storytelling, from riding the wild rhythm of Sri Lanka’s eastern coast to meditating beneath starlit skies, Salt & Serenity is a seasonal odyssey into the self—carried by waves and softened by wellness.
Flow through surf towns and tea country. Connect with locals. Savor slow mornings and salty hair. This is not a retreat—it’s a rhythm. One that moves with you, then stays long after you leave.
For the Free Spirits, the Wave Riders, and the Soul-Stretchers!
If your ideal escape includes barefoot mornings, mindful motion, and magic at golden hour—this is your journey.
“This is the kind of journey that writes itself into your skin—salt, sunlight, and stillness.”
“Where journey meets stillness, and your first deep breath carries the scent of ocean salt and tropical air.”
