Exceptional Ayurvedic Experience by the Sea

I recently had the privilege of staying at this Ayurvedic resort, and it was a transformative experience from start to finish. The resort’s deep commitment to authentic Ayurveda is evident in every aspect of its operation.

The team of doctors and therapists is truly exceptional. The consultations were thorough, and the personalized treatment plan they designed reflected their profound Ayurvedic knowledge and care. The therapists were skilled and attentive, making every therapy session both effective and deeply relaxing. Even the management team exuded a genuine passion for holistic wellness, ensuring every guest felt supported on their journey.

The resort’s location is stunning—a peaceful seaside retreat that offers breathtaking views and a serene atmosphere. Listening to the sound of the waves added an extra layer of tranquility to the experience.

The meals were a highlight! Each dish was not only delicious but also tailored to align with Ayurvedic principles. The freshness, cleanliness, and balance of flavors were remarkable, making every meal a delight.

This resort is a true sanctuary for anyone seeking authentic Ayurvedic care in a beautiful, nurturing environment. I left feeling rejuvenated, balanced, and grateful for the experience.

Room for improvement

Service was very lacking, be it at front office or at restaurant.
Quality and choice of food (breakfast, lunch, dinner) may be improved greatly!!!!!
The many number of Staffs working at the beach restaurant more attentive - many stray cats around during meal time....which were a little \"disruptive\"....
The only retail shop in the hotel needs A major clean-up! Dusty and filthy - uninviting to purchase anything :-((
Wished the manager/staffs working were more professional, welcoming and hospitable in providing a SERVICE.

Dont expect luxury

I expected a luxury complex and was shocked to find an old tired looking place where external areas had peeling paint, large brown patches which should have been green grass - not the green oasis I had seen in photos. Inside the rooms had been renovated a few years ago but my ceiling fan wobbled and was too noisy to use at night and the aircon wasnt very cool.

The waves are so strong I felt like I had been hit by a car and the undertow makes swimming dangerous.

The food was good but not much variety from day to day.

Dont stay here if you are after a hotel. Its better suited to people wanting ayurveda but thats an extra 135 USD a day for 2 hours treatment, lunch and medicine (which is very cheap to buy).

A relaxing getaway.

I had a really relaxing week here and was very impressed by the staff & their wonderful hospitality. I wanted a mix of treatments & exploring Sri Lanka & was able to do that here. Although I was travelling on my own I got to know other guests quickly & everyone was so warm & welcoming. My only slight fault about the hotel was that it is quite out of the way & you need a taxi to get anywhere but that's easy to sort out. I'd definitely recommend this hotel.

A True Ayurveda Spa

If you are looking for a true Ayurveda experience this is probably the right place for you, but if you are looking for Ayurveda services within a western style hotel this is not the right place. The location of the hotel is very remote, you cannot walk to any shops, restaurants or sights and the hotel taxi service is very expensive.

The buffet meals in the main restaurant are not up to western standards, while it may not be a total surprise to find that the meat and fish dishes were badly cooked, I was surprised to find a lack of a good curry. Once again the buffet focused on the Ayurveda menu.

Our disappointment was from the fact the hotel's website does identify itself as an Ayurveda spa, but it claims to have a western menu and to be close to amenities. Also it stated that Wi-Fi is available for a charge, but does not mention that you cannot get it in the rooms, and that it has a gym, which is actually a very small room with four cardio machines.

As I said if you want a remote, peaceful spa experience it is probably a good place to go.

Very quite hotel,if you prefer next to beach.

The most quietest hotel we ever visited. On this score it was just heaven. Only saw three children here. Some times pool to ourselves .beach was great but you do get pestered by locals sometime. Food was ok but could do with more local variety.
The only two really complaints are 1) need a bar at the pool side and 2) need cooling fans in the lounge and bar area.
Staff were just fantastic and very helpful.
Transport is available by the hotel but very expensive . If you need to travel locally get a toock toock right out side the hotel but hackle on the price.
We did not go there for the Ayruvedic treatment as this is what the hotel specialises in and so if this is what you intend go for it although very expensive.
We wanted a quite holiday and that's exactly what we got. Very pleased with the outcome.

First Time in Sri Lanka

We arrived on the evening of the 4th for a 5 day stay. At check-in we were asked what treatment package we wanted...we said we might have a one-off massage, and would decide later. The room was clean but a double bed was in fact two singles pushed togther and all the room seemed to have balconies (which we had paid extra for). the breakfat was OK but heavily into the vegitarian side of things and the \"western\" style buffet was a bit like canteen food.It rained quite a lot which flooded the walkways and made getting around a bit difficult.We feel that if you are into Yoga and having various treatments this would be the place, but it really does need some serious maintenance and refurbishment, and the quality of service is not relected in the cost of the stay!. We decided to leave befor the end of our stay to something more suitable to our requirements

The Perfect Retreat

This hotel surpassed all my expectations. It is set in a beautiful tropical garden with direct access to the beach. The beachfront restaurant provides a wide variety of food to a very high standard. However, perhaps the best asset of all is the staff who pay so much attention to detail and ensure that guests feel welcome and comfortable. It is stunningly beautiful and amazingly peaceful - a perfect place for those who want to unwind.

Careful while choosing

The Indian Ocean is very wild and so the swimming is not recommended. There is a swimming pool available. The Ayurveda treatment is very expensive. The 10 days treatment was as expensive as the flight from and to Dubai with breakfast and dinner. The treatment is 1.30 min.
The transfer from and to the airport is 70 $. The fitness room has 4 machines for cardio-vascularise exercises. Two were not working.
The excursions were also very expensive.
Everybody is expecting tips and there is no general tip box. So the maintenance staff and those with low salary will not get anything.
For relaxation one week is enough, o0therwise there are too many issues which cannot be solved.

アーユルヴェーダ医学を観光客向けとはいえ、長い歴史の中で、ちゃんと継承している場所です。しっかりした食事とヨーガと医師、セラピストの治療を受けることができます。最初のシロダーラなどは本当にからだが心地よくだるーくなるので、ちゃんとした治療には、最低二週間かかるというのも納得です。
ビジターはドイツ、スイス、日本人が多い。食事はビュッフェスタイルでとても美味しいですが、二週間の間すこし飽きることまもありました。
部屋や施設は特別きれいではないけど、全体としては、とても満足です。
バカンスというよりは、療養という意識で行くのに向いています。2,3日の人も多いけど、雰囲気程度しか分からないかも。
プールも広くて気持ちいいし、ハタヨガの先生も、セラピストもとても良かったです。またいつか行きたい。

敷地内には、モンキー、リス、猫、ダック、色とりどりの鳥、蝶、
オオトカゲが人間と共生しており、サルはバルコニーまで遊びに来ます。動物と共生していることを味わえるホテル。
部屋は若干古く、埃の被ったところもありました。シャワーの出は良くなかったです。しかし、アーユルベーダを本格的に受けたい方には満足できるでしょう。ドクターの数が多く、毎日コンサルがあります。施術の種類も多く、雰囲気も抜群です。レストランには、アーユルベーダで一番大事なランチだけドクターが立っていて、体質別に食べてはいけないものを教えてくれます。トラブルにも親身になって対応してくださり、レセプションを含めスタッフ全員が驚くほど優しい。
製薬会社の老舗とあって、バーブの薬がとても良く効きました。
ただ、日本人率は高い気がしました。

皆親切なスタッフ

セラピストによってマッサージの質が全く異なります。素晴らしい方に当たればラッキー。ノーマルルームでは毎日のミネラルウオーターが付かないので買わなければなりません。
お食事はほぼ毎日同じメニューですがどれも美味しいです。

Nice place but caution for rip-off

I really liked staying here especially the food. There's a nice jacuzzi in the swimming pool, which was very relaxing while looking at the wild monkeys jumping around in the trees. Also, yoga classes were offered both in the morning and evening almost every day, so I've never got bored without going out anywhere.

One of the bad things about this place was I was overcharged at the souvenir shop right across the reception. I just bought a medicine that subscribed from the house doctor, but the shop assistant guy charged me 5 times more than it supposed to be. I had the credit card company to get the refund, but he submitted the false documents which stated things I've never bought. So if you hate fraud, be careful!

自然の中でアーユルヴェーダ体験！

近代的な建物ではありませんが、清潔でした。広い敷地内にはサルやリスなどがいて自然が一杯です。
アーユルヴェーダはまぁまぁでした。オイルを使用したヘッドマッサージは部屋に戻って5回位シャンプーしないとオイルが落ちません。。顔の泥パック？も綺麗に落とさないとハンカチが黄色くなります。。
室内スリッパとティッシュはありません。
ゴム草履は必須です。
お食事はとても美味しかったです。毎日ブュッフェで、パン、サラダ、カレー、フルーツ、デザートがふんだんに出されてます。
内容も変わるので飽きないですよ。
日本人客は3割位です。
ホテル内の宝石店は安くて素敵です。
オイルはハーブティーも安いです。
一度体験してみてください。

アットホームでいい感じ

アーユルヴェーダを目的で行きましたが、リラックスを追求してるホテルだと思います。健康志向の食事。ビーチ直結で波の音を聞きながらの食事。アットホームな雰囲気からか、何かホッとするホテルでした。ゆっくり連泊すれば良かったと思います。スタッフもみんな感じが良くて、とても気に入りました。老舗のシッダレパは流石だと思いました。また行きたいと思います。ショップの品揃えもとても良かったです。

本格的アーユルヴェーダを満喫

アーユルヴェーダを本格的に体験し、日頃のストレスや体調を整えたい方には、ぜひお勧め。
厳格なアーユルヴェーダの食事とウエスタンの食事、アルコールもあるので、カップルで行ってもお互い楽しめる。
渋滞によっては、空港から2時間と少し遠いが、ビーチが目の前に広がり、喧騒から外れリラックスした時間を楽しめ、夜には満天の星空が楽しめる。
自社で製造しているアーユルヴェーダの調合薬も売店で購入可能。
スリランカの観光を楽しみたい人にはどこも少し遠いが、ぜひこのリラックスした環境で本格的なアーユルヴェーダを楽しんでもらいたい。

スタッフは、みんなフレンドリーです。不備もすぐに対応してくれました。ただ、エアコンのスイッチがｏｆｆにならなくて、直接電源を切ることになりました。幸い、エアコン無しで過ごすことができたのでよかったが・・・。
アーユルヴェーダをやらない人も、のんびり読書をしたりプールで泳いだりして過ごす人もいました。
