Makahiya Fitness is situated 10 minutes inland of Unawatuna, on the sunny south coast of Sri Lanka. Getting from the airport to Makahiya couldn’t be easier: the island’s main expressway runs all the way to nearby Galle. We can arrange airport transfers for you – just let us know your flight details and we’ll sort the rest. The journey takes about 2 hours by car.

We offer a range of all-inclusive retreat packages, with options to suit your individual requirements. Each offers unlimited access to all of our fitness classes, gym facilities, workout spaces and the pool. You’ll also get three nutritious meals a day during your stay. Packages can include optional activities and therapy treatments, such as ice baths and surf lessons. You can find out more on our Packages page here.

Makahiya is the ultimate place to host a fitness retreat in Sri Lanka. Whether you’re a travelling trainer or a fitness influencer, we’re open to hosting third-party retreats at our purpose-built site. Get in touch using this form and we’ll be in touch to see how we can work together to make your plans a reality.

Our retreat is open all year round. The traditional season for the south coast runs from December to March, when the sun is hot, the surf is good and there’s very little rain. The off-season usually serves up sunshine between scattered showers. We train whatever the weather.

Corporate crew, gym squad or team mates: we’re very happy to host big groups at Makahiya. The retreat can comfortably sleep 18, with the option to configure a four-bed dorm for the ultimate bonding experience. Get in touch for special group rates.
