Flight tickets and transfer
Flights and transport to the camp are not included. We’re happy to arrange a comfortable transfer in air-conditioned vehicles from Colombo airport to the surf camp. You can easily add the transfer to your booking. The transfer time is estimated to 3-4 hours, depending on the traffic.
The dinners out are at your own expense. You can also buy lunch at the camp from a varied menu of local specialities and western favourites.
To dos
Visa: The visa regulations vary depending on your nationality, so make sure to check the rules applicable to you in good time before departure. We recommend applying online, as it'll save you time going through immigration.
Insurance: As always when travelling, we advise that you have sufficient coverage in the unlikely event of an injury, medical emergency or other unforeseen circumstances.
What to pack
Don't forget the essentials
Passport
Towels: We provide bath towels, but please bring your own beach towels.
Plastic bottles: At Lapoint, we destroy waves, not the planet. Therefore, as a part of our sustainability program, we don’t sell any plastic bottles and try to limit the use of plastic at the camp. In doing so, please bring a reusable water bottle for your trip to Sri Lanka. If you don’t own one, don’t worry, we sell environmentally friendly aluminium water bottles on-site.
Sunscreen: The UV index in Sri Lanka is very high, so it’s advised to use appropriate skin protection while living the dream here in paradise. To reduce pollution, we recommend using Oxybenzone-free products and help conserve our favourite playground - the ocean. We sell environmentally friendly zinc at the camp.
Mosquito spray: Mosquito spray can also be hard to come by or of inferior quality, so it’s a good idea to bring this from home.
