Mantra Surf Club

Where surfing in India began - Surf, yoga and river life · Mulki, Karnataka · Est. 2004

Tucked away between a peaceful river and the Arabian Sea, Mantra Surf Club is India’s original surf sanctuary, blending the thrill of world-class waves with the grounding serenity of an ashram. This community-driven haven invites travelers to unplug through professional surf coaching, sunrise backwater paddles, and rejuvenating yoga. It is an eco-conscious retreat where salt water, wholesome vegetarian feasts, and coastal adventure meet.
