Ayuwaters Yoga & Ayurveda Retreat in Detail

Your Ayurveda Resort

The charming two-storey cottages offer seven spacious rooms with a stunning view of the Bentota River, ensuring a highly personalised service due to the limited number of guests.

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.

We spent 15 nights at Ayuwaters for a Panchakarma healing therapy and felt incredibly comfortable from the very first day. I didn't have any specific health issues beforehand and did the healing therapy more as a preventive measure. The daily routine included a consultation with the Ayurvedic doctor as well as about two hours of treatments, including massages and the typical Panchakarma treatments. The doctor is very experienced and really takes his time. My girlfriend had some health issues beforehand, which improved significantly during our stay. After the 15 days, we both felt incredibly refreshed and healthy. The resort has only six rooms, which creates a very private atmosphere. We were even lucky enough to have the place all to ourselves for the first ten days, which allowed us to enjoy incredibly attentive care. Gayan, the manager, is a wonderful person-always friendly, humorous, and helpful. We had many great conversations with him and learned a lot about Sri Lanka and its culture. Among other things, we visited temples, explored the city, and took a boat ride through the mangroves with him-definitely one of our highlights. The resort has only six rooms, which creates a very personal atmosphere. We were even lucky enough to have the place all to ourselves for the first ten days, which allowed us to enjoy incredibly attentive service. We often took a tuk-tuk to the beach, and our tuk-tuk driver was also incredibly friendly. In fact, everyone we met there was incredibly warm and welcoming. Another highlight was the candlelit dinner right on the river, for which Gayan spared no effort. The rest of the team was also consistently friendly, attentive, and warm-whether during treatments, meals, or simply in our daily interactions. We highly recommend Ayuwaters and would love to come back.
