The Retreat Experience

Looking for a meaningful way to spend Christmas – calm, warm, and far from the usual holiday chaos? Our small yoga hotel in southern Sri Lanka is the perfect escape, especially for solo travelers seeking peace, connection, and gentle self-care.

We welcome only a few guests (maximum 8), so each person receives genuine attention and space to unwind. Most of our guests are traveling alone, and many return again – not just for the yoga, but for the atmosphere of kindness and ease.

Our days begin and end with mindful yoga sessions in the open air, suitable for all levels. In between, you’ll enjoy delicious homemade meals, relaxing time in nature, and deeply calming massages in our beautiful massage room.
