Austrian Ayurveda Beach Resort

FIRST CLASS

Located in the south of the island near Dickwella, directly on a fine white sandy beach, the Austrian Ayurveda Beach Resort is set in a beautiful garden with ancient, shade-giving trees. The architecture is stylish, for instance, the spacious reception hall with small lounges and impressive 'Cloud Maidens'. The magnificent sandy beach is perfect for walks, and the sea invites you to swim all year round. The resort also features a tsunami early warning system from the University of Tübingen.

Dickwella is a quaint coastal town in the south of Sri Lanka, renowned for its idyllic beaches and tranquil atmosphere. The town attracts travellers seeking less crowded beaches. A highlight of Dickwella is Hiriketiya Beach, a crescent-shaped beach that is particularly popular among surfers. Additionally, the town is home to the Wewurukannala Vihara Temple, which features a 50-metre tall Buddha statue, the largest in the country.

The public restaurant with attached terrace serves menus at lunch tailored by Ayurvedic doctors to the doshas of each guest. Morning and evening dishes are served according to the Tri-Dosha principle (suitable for all doshas). The chefs are extensively trained in Ayurvedic cuisine and receive regular training.

The Ayurveda & Yoga Center, adjacent to the pool, features a team of two Ayurveda doctors and several therapists. It includes a consultation room, 5 treatment rooms, an Ayurvedic steam bath, a Finnish sauna, an Ayurveda pharmacy, and a souvenir shop. The building is spaciously designed with extensive use of wood to create a light, airy setting that remains pleasantly cool during treatments. A wooden staircase leads to a gallery and the yoga hall under the roof. The therapy is tailored individually following authentic, traditional treatment principles. Treatments are spread throughout the day with rest periods in between to ensure optimal effects of the treatments and oils. There's a meditation circle directly by the sea. Acupuncture available on-site (approx. €30/session).

The resort features a viewing terrace, a freshwater pool, and direct beach access. The sea with its gently sloping beach is ideal for swimming. Excursions to the surrounding area, such as Galle, Matara, or Dickwella, can be arranged (for a fee).
