Ancient Ayurveda therapies, mountain air, tea walks, and the healing pace of island life
Nine days of intentional restoration — Ayurveda consultations and daily treatments in Bentota, cool mountain air and sunrise tea walks in Nuwara Eliya, sacred Kandy, and a morning at the edge of the world at Horton Plains.
Ayurveda — the 5,000-year-old science of life — has been practised in Sri Lanka for millennia. The island's tropical climate, abundance of medicinal herbs, and traditionally trained practitioners make it one of the world's foremost wellness destinations.
This nine-day retreat balances authentic Ayurveda treatments with the restorative beauty of Sri Lanka's hill country — morning walks through silver mist, spice garden visits in Kandy, and long unhurried evenings on the Bentota River.
Arrive and transfer directly to your Ayurveda resort in Bentota. Meet your Ayurvedic doctor for an initial consultation and settle into the resort rhythm with a welcome herbal drink.
