Charitable and familiar Ayurveda beach resort with Austrian flair. Experience authentic Ayurveda treatments between relaxing silence and restful comfort.
In the south of the island near Dickwella, directly on the fine white sandy beach, lies the German-speaking Austrian Ayurveda Beach Resort in a beautiful garden with old, shady trees. The architecture is stylish, e.g. the spacious lobby attracts with several small lounges and impressive "cloud girls". The beautiful sandy beach invites you to beach walks and the sea all year round for swimming. The resort has the Ayurveda Hospital certification, as it cooperates with one of the largest Ayurvedic hospitals on the island, whose head is the chief physician of the Austrian Beach Resort. Another special feature of the resort is the tsunami early warning system from the University of Tübingen, which is used here.

The hotel is delightful in colonial style and is located in a beautiful bay. The massages are excellent and the team is incredibly caring. We felt extremely comfortable and well rested. It was my first Ayurveda trip and certainly not my last. Two small negative points: the beach in front of the hotel is very clean, but if you walk along the beach, it is slightly littered at the top. But that's not the hotel's fault, that's generally the case in Sri Lanka. It didn't bother us too much though, as the beach below was really beautiful. It was a little annoying that small groups of surfers were allowed to use the edge of the hotel. That sometimes bothered us. Otherwise, everything was really great!

Climate change exhausting. Medical and therapeutic staff very good. Kitchen great and food very tasty. Room quite small for a couple. Sound of the sea very loud, sleep not good.
