An elegant Ayurveda boutique resort with charm, architectural grace, and over 15 years of experience. Its location is also compelling: in the heart of Bentota, 5 minutes from the beautiful Bentota River and about the same from the nearest beach. Enjoy holistic Ayurveda, atmospheric boat trips on the river, or timeless comfort by the pool.
The stylish Avinya Ayurveda Resort is located in the lively coastal town of Bentota on the southwest coast of Sri Lanka, nestled in a tropical garden, separated only by the coastal road and railway line from the fine sandy Bentota Beach (about an 8-minute walk). The boutique resort combines stylish ambiance with comfort and specializes in Ayurveda, the ancient healing philosophy. Pavilions on different levels, connected by open corridors, small patios, and stone gardens. The garden with loungers for resting after treatments and the pool with a whirlpool at the shallow end, provide a haven of tranquility close to the bustling small town life.
The Ayurveda Resort is located in Bentota, Sri Lanka. Bentota is also the starting point for the Southern Province of Sri Lanka, a region where many local traditions and customs are maintained. The resort is only a 1.5-hour drive from Colombo Airport and is close to the Bentota River, just 5 minutes from the beach.
In the open Ayurveda restaurant by the pool, you can look forward to fresh Ayurvedic meals (vegetarian) at the buffet, tailored to the doshas. During the weekly cooking class, you can learn more about the ingredients and preparation of the diverse Ayurveda cuisine, and upon request, you can also receive recommendations for integrating healthy eating into your daily life. In the public "Aida" restaurant across the street, bathers and, if desired, travel companions can dine.
Connected to the main building, the Ayurveda Center features 3 experienced Ayurvedic doctors and several therapists. The center includes 2 consultation rooms, multiple treatment rooms for over 25 different treatments, Ayurvedic herbal and steam baths in the garden, and an Ayurvedic herbal sauna "Kutti", heated with fragrant herbs and woods. The production process of the used herbal medicine is subject to strict quality controls. Yoga and meditation sessions are held either on the covered terrace on the first floor or overlooking the Bentota River in the garden of the annex.
The beautiful garden with a large outdoor pool with whirlpool, sunbathing lawn, and tea bar invites you to relax. An open-air amphitheater, jewelry shop, tailor, and weekly evening entertainment (subject to availability) complete the leisure offerings. Walks, for example, to Bentota Beach (about 5 minutes) or to the market, as well as excursions to the picturesque Induruwa Beach (about 10 minutes), are highly recommended. Additional experiences such as a boat trip on the Bentota River or excursions to Galle, Maadu River, Bawa Gardens, etc., can be booked on-site for a fee.
