Balapitiya is a quaint coastal town in southwest Sri Lanka, renowned for its stunning beaches and tranquil ambiance. The town is close to the Madu Ganga Lagoon, a famous wetland with numerous islands and diverse wildlife. Balapitiya is a favoured destination for boat tours, nature explorations, and seaside relaxation, away from the larger tourist crowds.
Ayurveda guests receive dosha-appropriate, Ayurvedic menus recommended by the Ayurveda doctor. The fresh vegetables are mostly sourced from local farmers, and white fish and chicken are also recommended foods.

An Ayurvedic sauna and steam bath complement the facilities. The herb garden provides ingredients for the production of our own Ayurvedic herbal medicine.

The Ayurveda treatments were excellent, and I also found the doctor's care very pleasant. The food was very good and plentiful, and the whole team made a great effort to ensure that nothing was missing. I also benefited greatly from the yoga classes, but I brought a good foundation with me.

The hotel and the entire staff contributed to our wonderful, relaxing vacation. The hotel is in a beautiful and quiet location, ideal for an Ayuverda cure.

Very beautiful hotel with a park-like garden and large pool surrounded by nature. Secluded from the hustle and bustle of Balapitiya, the small resort is located in the middle of the mangrove forests. The rooms (8 DBLs) are simple but lovingly furnished and the team is incredibly friendly, courteous and helpful. The food is very tasty, although not always 100 percent Ayruvedic. However, you can make your wishes known at any time, so we only ordered vegetables for the evening. The treatments were incredibly good for us and the team (doctor and therapists) are also very nice and responsive to our wishes. We left the hotel well rested and relaxed after 12 nights.
