Nestled in a beautiful park with ancient, shade-providing trees, this oasis offers the perfect retreat. Close to the hotel, an untouched natural paradise awaits, inviting you to linger and relax. To ensure an exceptionally exclusive and personal service, the hotel has consciously decided to limit the number of guests to a maximum of 18 to 20 people.

In the restaurant, enjoy Ayurvedic Tridosha menus, crafted traditionally with love from fresh, partly home-grown ingredients. These culinary creations indulge all your senses and are tailored to your needs following a consultation with an Ayurveda specialist.

A paradise on earth, a warm and well-rehearsed team of doctors and therapists from Sri Lanka take care of the guests highly professionally and lovingly through and through Ayurvedic. The food is a poem, yoga with Ute indispensable and enriching, the meeting with the monk magical and the variety of treatments soul balm. Dr. Akihl is really great and the interaction of the 15 guests with each other is more than cordial. Absolutely recommended for true Ayurveda lovers.
