Food plays a very important role in our Retreats. All healing begins with a correct diet for your body-type and a regular meal-time routine, which is why all food is included in the price of your retreat. Each meal is carefully selected by our Ayurvedic expert, Ranjan to bring the maximum benefit to each person. 

A copious buffet style breakfast is served daily, with fresh juices, Ayurvedic herbal tea, local fruit platters, traditional Sri Lankan Ayurvedic breakfast. This is an important meal. After three hours of yoga you require energy and good nutrition to sustain you for the day ahead. Time is spent eating, digesting and being grateful for the delicious food. We also encourage eating with hands, not cutlery, the Sri Lankan way, as this slows you down and connects you more deeply with the flavours and the food.

The meals are mainly vegetarian, but occasionally  chicken or fish will be offered. Lunch, like breakfast, is also a substantial meal and again time is spent around the table together, with Ranjan on hand to explain the dishes. 

Dinner is a lighter meal, maybe a soup with some boiled vegetables and grilled fresh fish. Occasionally Ranjan treats us to some traditional Sri Lankan sweet delights - pancakes, curd and honey (my favourite!) and of course lots of exotic fruits!

​

This is not about "dieting" by reducing the amount you eat - you will most definitely not be hungry - this is about showing you how to eat correctly, at the right times , and to feel the difference in your body weight, and most importantly in your energy levels.

​

Learning to cook these delicious meals is not only an essential part of the retreat, but enormous fun with wonderful Karuna!

What Makes Our Retreats Special?

Our Sri Lankan retreats feel very special thanks to the cosy, intimate hotel where you instantly feel at ease, at home, free to wander in bare feet on the immaculate brushed concrete and tiles, share smiles and stories with staff... from groundsmen to reception... just like family.

​

All our treatments are both healing and unique. The Ayurvedic massages are given by Ranjan who understands and feels everyone's energy and healing requirements, without anyone having to say a word! You will never have received such deep care or felt such profound healing than with Ranjan's magical touch. You are cared for in a treatment room built into the rock, a therapeutic space naturally infused with the heady scents of herbal oils, caressed with the delights of jasmine.

Watsu water therapy with Louise is particularly unique and profoundly healing, deepening your ability to relax and let go, to trust and hand over control, releasing both physical and emotional blocks, deeply enhancing your meditative and spiritual experience during the retreat.

​

The Retreat is hidden away and quiet, surrounded by nature, and yet walking distance from the lively, trading activity of Unawatuna, its restaurants, cafes and long, sandy beach.
This place is special... it draws you in, wraps you up in something magical... something that lingers on in your heart and pulls you back again and again.

Why not join Ranjan and Louise in experiencing for yourself the transformative warmth of this very special place?
