Discover rejuvenating Ayurveda therapies at the charming beachfront Ayurveda Resort, nestled between tranquil silence and comforting luxury. Indulge in this peaceful oasis and restore your inner balance and vitality.
Located in the south of the island near Dickwella, directly on a fine white sandy beach, the Austrian Ayurveda Beach Resort is set in a beautiful garden with ancient, shade-giving trees. The architecture is stylish, for instance, the spacious reception hall with small lounges and impressive 'Cloud Maidens'. The magnificent sandy beach is perfect for walks, and the sea invites you to swim all year round. The resort also features a tsunami early warning system from the University of Tübingen.
Dickwella is a quaint coastal town in the south of Sri Lanka, renowned for its idyllic beaches and tranquil atmosphere. The town attracts travellers seeking less crowded beaches. A highlight of Dickwella is Hiriketiya Beach, a crescent-shaped beach that is particularly popular among surfers. Additionally, the town is home to the Wewurukannala Vihara Temple, which features a 50-metre tall Buddha statue, the largest in the country.
The public restaurant with attached terrace serves menus at lunch tailored by Ayurvedic doctors to the doshas of each guest. Morning and evening dishes are served according to the Tri-Dosha principle (suitable for all doshas). The chefs are extensively trained in Ayurvedic cuisine and receive regular training.
The Ayurveda & Yoga Center, adjacent to the pool, features a team of two Ayurveda doctors and several therapists. It includes a consultation room, 5 treatment rooms, an Ayurvedic steam bath, a Finnish sauna, an Ayurveda pharmacy, and a souvenir shop. The building is spaciously designed with extensive use of wood to create a light, airy setting that remains pleasantly cool during treatments. A wooden staircase leads to a gallery and the yoga hall under the roof. The therapy is tailored individually following authentic, traditional treatment principles. Treatments are spread throughout the day with rest periods in between to ensure optimal effects of the treatments and oils. There's a meditation circle directly by the sea. Acupuncture available on-site (approx. €30/session).
The resort features a viewing terrace, a freshwater pool, and direct beach access. The sea with its gently sloping beach is ideal for swimming. Excursions to the surrounding area, such as Galle, Matara, or Dickwella, can be arranged (for a fee).
12 rooms, comfortably equipped with a mezzanine for the sink and shower, and a large, covered terrace/balcony, some with sea views. 4 Deluxe rooms on the ground floor, 4 Deluxe Lofts on the 1st floor, plus 2 Loft Suites above the restaurant. Air conditioning available upon request (approx. €10/day, payable on site). Deluxe SGL are DB for single use. Wi-Fi in the lobby.

The vacation was wonderful and I feel very relaxed! As the vacation consisted of two parts (round trip and Ayurveda hotel), I would like to rate them separately. The round trip was simply wonderful! The driver met us at the airport and everything worked out wonderfully. The hotels on the round trip far exceeded our expectations, as we had only booked the standard category and stayed in wonderful hotels. We were not so satisfied with our Ayurveda hotel. The deluxe rooms we booked did not meet our expectations at all and were not even remotely comparable to the very nice standard rooms on the round trip. The rooms were dirty and in a very poor state of repair. There was air conditioning for 10 €/day extra but not even a fan as is usual in rooms of even the most basic category. The Ayurveda treatments were very nice and the location of the hotel right on the beach was unique. So in the end we were reconciled after all.
