Lost Shore Surf Resort - Ratho

Surf resort with Scotland's first wave pool and full-service spa in Ratho

Accommodation

Lost Shore Surf Resort offers hilltop lodges and waterfront pods with views of the wave pool. The three-bedroom hilltop lodges include a master ensuite with separate cable TV, an open kitchen, and an outdoor shower. Guests use a golf cart service to transport luggage from the car park to the lodges, as vehicles are not permitted near the accommodation.

Surfing & Activities

Lost Shore Surf Resort Ratho operates a wave pool with beginner, improver, and advanced sessions, including barrel and manoeuvre waves. Instructors such as Jono, Callum, and Kieran provide coaching during lessons, and the surf shop rents boards and wetsuits. The resort also offers surfskate lessons and sits next to Ratho climbing centre.

Dining

The on-site Canteen houses three food outlets: Civerinos (pizza), Rafa's (tacos and burritos), and Five March (fried chicken and cauliflower). A bar serves drinks, and the coffee shop sells morning buns and flat whites. All outlets overlook the wave pool, providing a view of the surfers.

Wellness

Lost Shore Edinburgh includes a spa and wellness centre with massage services, a sauna, and a hot tub. Beauty treatments are available, and the spa has received praise from guests for the quality of massages. The wellness area is separate from the surf facilities, offering a quiet retreat.
