Pole dance and Wellness Retreat in Sri Lanka
Pole dance, Move & Reconnect in a Tropical Paradise. By the wild ocean.
February 7th–15th, 2026 (9 days / 8 nights)
A transformative journey through movement, nature & sensuality
THE DESTINATION >
Welcome to a one-of-a-kind pole dance and wellness retreat set in the heart of Sri Lanka’s lush south coast, just minutes from the relaxed beach and surf town of Ahangama.
Think golden beaches, coconut palms, colorful tuk-tuks, and a vibrant local scene filled with beach cafés, fresh tropical food, and sunsets that leave you speechless.
We’ll be staying in a peaceful oasis close to the ocean: a space designed for movement, creativity, and reconnection. Here, your days will be filled with pole dance workshops, dance sessions, wellness practices, and the freedom to explore your inner goddess, and unwind.
This part of Sri Lanka is known for its laid-back energy, artistic community, and untouched natural beauty. Whether you’re walking barefoot on the sand, sipping fresh coconuts, or flowing through a dance session with the ocean breeze, this retreat is your chance to reset and rise.
ACCOMODATION >
Tucked away in the peaceful village of Ahangama, just 200 meters from the beach, our private boutique wellness retreat villa offers the perfect blend of comfort, charm, and tropical beauty. Located minutes from the scenic Galle–Matara coastal road, you’ll be steps from Sri Lanka’s best surfing beaches, sea-view cafés, and cozy local shops.
Surrounded by coconut palms, kiripalu trees, blooming orchids, and wild ferns, the property is a lush oasis designed for relaxation, reconnection, and renewal. This spacious villa features an elegant home, a swimming pool, and tranquil garden spaces alive with birdsong, butterflies, and fragrant tropical blooms. Enjoy by the pool or by your window watching the peacocks, monkeys, and mongoose roam on the property.
The villa includes four serene bedrooms, each with views of the lush garden and thoughtfully designed for deep rest and restoration.
Each room features:
- En-suite bathroom with rain shower
- One queen Size bed (and one extra single bed in two rooms)
- Air conditioning (AC) and ceiling fan
- Garden/Pool view
Between dance, wellness workshops and beach adventures, you can unwind in shaded outdoor lounge areas, relax by the pool, or enjoy the peaceful rhythm of tropical life beneath the swaying palms.
THE WEATHER >
February is one of the best months to visit the south coast of Sri Lanka. Expect warm, sunny days with temperatures ranging between 27°C and 32°C, and cooler, comfortable nights around 23°C. Ideal for both outdoor movement and restful sleep.
This time of year offers clear skies, low humidity, and minimal rainfall, making it the perfect season to enjoy beach walks, sunset swims, and open-air pole and dance sessions. You will enjoy the tropical sunshine, ocean breeze, and perfect temperatures for movement.
The Pole dance experience :
THE POLE STUDIO W/ AIR CONDITIONING >
Our bright, pole studio is a 30-minute walk through lush jungle or a quick 5-minute tuk-tuk ride (transportation is not included, but perfect for lazy days!) from the villa.
The studio is equipped with AC, so we all have a good grip on the heat and humidity, keeping you cool and comfortable while you train.
While the villa is near the beach, the studio is tucked away more towards the backside, offering a peaceful, authentic glimpse of Ahangama’s wild beauty: shaded paths, tropical greenery, and local village life away from the tourist crowds.
THE CLASSES >
This retreat is not just about pole tricks. It’s an invitation to explore your relationship to movement, sensuality, and embodied expression. Whether you’re spinning around a pole, gliding across the floor, or exploring the wisdom of your pelvis, each session is a celebration of the feminine body in motion.
- Sensual Flow Choreography — unlocking body waves, hairflicks, twerks & undulations
- Freestyle Tools & creative exploration — tapping into feeling instead of performing, finding & expressing your authentic style
- Stripperella — exploring the art of teasing and undressing
- Floorwork — playful, sexy, sensual movement on the floor
- Sluth Pole — reclaiming erotic power through slowness, unapologetic movement & presence
- Valentines Specials — lapdance & themed sensual play (on February 14th)
- & also, Sacred Goddess Workshops — these sessions are an invitation to reconnect with the divine feminine within. Through themes like The Power of Pelvic Pleasure, Libido Waves like the Ocean Tide, and Diving Deep into Feminine Sensuality, Mareen gently guides you through somatic practices, embodiment, and deep inner exploration.
Through guided choreographies, freestyle tools, and themed workshops, you’ll deepen your connection to yourself and your sensual identity. In a space that feels safe, inclusive, and alive with sisterhood.
THE LEVEL >
This retreat is open to all levels, from curious beginners to seasoned pole dancers.
We’ll meet you where you are. If you’re new to pole, this is the perfect environment to build confidence, explore your sensuality, and learn foundational movements in a supportive space. That said, to help you feel confident and get the most out of the experience, we recommend that you’ve taken at least a few pole dance classes before joining. You don’t need to be advanced; just comfortable enough around the pole to enjoy moving with it and explore your sensuality without stress.
If you already have a regular practice, you’ll be guided deeper into freestyle, flow choreography, and creative self-expression, with space to refine your style, play with floorwork, and connect to your personal “why” behind the movement.
Workshops are progressive, layered, and always optional. This is your journey, your pace.
