SRI LANKA HASN’T FAILED TO NOTICE THE GROWING DEMAND FOR WELLNESS AND HEALTH-CONSCIOUS TRAVEL.

IN TERMS OF SHEER NUMBER OF PLACES IT MIGHT NOT BE ON A BALI LEVEL JUST YET BUT THAT MAKES THE SPOTS IT DOES OFFER ALL THE MORE UNIQUE. WE’VE DESIGNED TWO SIMPLE TRIPS THAT WILL SUIT A SRI LANKAN WELLNESS-LED TRAVELER

LAKESIDE AND OCEAN FRONT - 7 NIGHTS REJUVENATION

7 nights - from USD 2,400

We’ve paired two beautiful - albeit quite different - properties to give a revitalising and richly experienced week-long stay in Sri Lanka.

Head first up close to Kandy and to a lovingly restored (and extended) house on the shores of Victoria Lake. Enjoy expert yoga classes in a gorgeous Shala and easy adventure with paddle-boarding and wild swimming in the lake. If keen you could head for a stunning day hike into the Knuckles Mountains.

From the lake you move to the beach; the second half of the week one more of gentle pampering at a new and very beautiful beachside hotel a little south of Colombo.

The Sanctuary Spa here offers a range of local and internationally-inspired treatments performed by expert therapists. Enjoy a blissful and calm three nights in the lap of the Indian Ocean to complete the week.

YOGA & AYURVEDA - IN THE MOUNTAINS AND BY THE BEACH

8 nights - from USD 5,200

This blissful stay of just over a week takes you to two of the most elegant and well-considered spaces for wellness and retreat in Sri Lanka; pausing between the two at a beautiful renovated planters house high in the hills.

First to the wonderful Santani, perched high above plantation and jungle a little south of Kandy. In minimalist style, Santani offers a space for deep relaxation, retreat and rest. Beautifully practised Ayurvedic treatments meld with wonderfully good food; a menu tailored specifically for you. Daily yoga, mountain walks and meditation add for a genuinely holistic wellness experience.

From Kandy take the train higher into the hills, breaking your journey south at Ella. Rest for 2 nights at a gorgeous planter’s bungalow and enjoy the cooler climes of high Hill Country.

End the journey by the Ocean on Sri Lanka’s very southern tip. Spend 3 nights at a beautifully conceived boutique hotel developed with with wellness at its heart. Ayurvedic treatments, daily yoga and guided meditation with an ocean backdrop provide an exquisite restorative experience.
