The Loop

Beaches. Surf towns.
Galle Fort. New Year.

Sri Lanka's south coast is one of the most underrated stretches of coastline in Asia. We're spending 8 days discovering it properly — and ending 2026 at a beach party that earns the title.

Yes — Indian passport holders need an ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization), applied online at eta.gov.lk. Cost is approximately USD 20 (~₹1,700). Approval is usually within a few hours. We send you a full step-by-step guide before the trip.

Absolutely. The surf lesson is beginner-level and completely optional. Weligama is one of the best spots in the world to learn because the waves are small and consistent. If surfing isn't your thing, you can spend that time at the beach cafés or exploring — nobody will judge you.

Mirissa is one of Sri Lanka's most famous NYE spots — beach parties that go all night, incredible atmosphere, and waking up on Jan 1st with the ocean right there. It's not a quiet countdown. It's a proper celebration. We sort the venue and group spot so you walk in together, not alone.

No. Most Loopers come solo. Eight days on a coast this beautiful, ending with a NYE beach party, has a way of turning strangers into people you'll actually keep in touch with.

We have a clear cancellation policy shared at booking. NYE trips have high pre-booking costs, so we'll always try to find a replacement Looper and work out a fair solution. Reach out directly.
