Ayuwaters Retreat in Detail

Your Ayurveda Resort

The charming two-storey cottages feature seven spacious rooms with stunning views of the Bentota River and ensure a highly personalised service due to the small number of guests. Located amidst the garden, the pool invites you to relax and unwind. A daily programme of yoga and meditation, additional Tai-Chi classes, and individual Ayurveda treatments and remedies contribute to holistic well-being. Two experienced Ayurveda doctors oversee the professional administration of treatments, making the retreat a perfect destination for both Ayurveda enthusiasts and those seeking relaxation without undergoing therapy.

Location & Surroundings

Ayuwaters Retreat is located in Dharga Town, Beruwala, Sri Lanka, right on the Bentota River. The area is characterised by lush nature and offers a tranquil atmosphere for those seeking relaxation. Nearby is Bentota Beach, approximately 2.1 miles away. The region is renowned for its diverse recreational opportunities, including boat trips and water sports on the river. Additionally, the famous Bawa Gardens and the Kande Viharaya Temple are nearby, offering cultural and scenic highlights of the region.

Dining & Leisure

The Ayurvedic, vegetarian meals for therapy guests are prepared buffet-style and are suitable for all doshas.

Ayurveda Center

The Ayurveda Center offers holistic health programmes led by an experienced team of two Ayurveda doctors. One doctor specialises in naturopathy and yoga, while the other brings extensive expertise in Panchakarma therapies. In the three treatment rooms (each approximately 10 m²), traditional Ayurvedic treatments are performed, tailored to the individual needs of the guests.

In addition to the treatments, guests can enjoy an hour of yoga and meditation each morning. Additionally, evening meditation sessions are held three times a week and a Tai Chi class once a week. Other options such as sand therapy and acupuncture complete the offerings, supporting comprehensive physical and mental regeneration.

Free Time

The surroundings of the Bentota River offer numerous opportunities for relaxation and activities. Attractions such as the famous Bawa Gardens and the impressive Kande Vihara Temple, which is about a 9-minute drive away, invite cultural excursions. Bentota Beach, about 2.1 miles away, is a wide sandy beach ideal for walks and relaxation. Swimming in the sea is seasonal and not always possible due to currents. On the Bentota River itself, guests can enjoy boat trips or try water sports – a great opportunity to enjoy the natural beauty of the region.

The morning yoga classes with Aslin were not only a blessing for body and mind, but also an inspiration. With his charisma, patience and profound knowledge, he introduced us to the world of yoga with dedication. The medical care also left nothing to be desired. Dr. Sanathanan and Dr. Auranga were not only very competent, but also empathetic, so that we felt we were in good hands and well looked after. Another highlight of the Ayurveda retreat were the healing treatments and massages, which were carried out with great care by Prasad and Nadeeka. The soothing treatments helped us to relax completely. Our stay was also a culinary delight: we were spoiled with freshly prepared meals every day, the rooms are spacious and overlook a picturesque backdrop. Special thanks also go to Anjula. The young, dedicated manager, with his warm manner, ensured that every wish was fulfilled with the utmost attention. The wonderful kitchen team, the always friendly and attentive roomboy and the gardener, who worked with dedication to keep the grounds tidy, also contributed to making our stay unforgettable. Once again, a huge compliment and heartfelt thank you to Mr. Charith's entire team and their support in all matters - you gave us an unforgettable Ayurveda break!

My vacation at the Ayurwaterretreatcenter was great, especially the staff were incredibly accommodating.
