Ayuwaters Yoga & Ayurveda Retreat in detail

Hotel

The charming two-storey cottages offer seven spacious rooms and stunning views of the Bentota River. With only a small number of guests, they also ensure a particularly personal service. Set amid the garden, the pool invites you to relax and unwind. A daily programme of yoga and meditation, together with personalised Ayurvedic treatments and remedies, supports holistic wellbeing. An experienced Ayurvedic doctor oversees the professional delivery of treatments. This makes the retreat an ideal place for Ayurveda enthusiasts, as well as those seeking relaxation and holidaymakers who do not wish to take part in a treatment programme.

Location & Surroundings

Ayuwaters Yoga & Ayurveda Retreat is located in Dharga Town, Beruwala, Sri Lanka, right on the Bentota River. The surrounding area is lush and green, offering a peaceful setting for relaxation. Bentota Beach is nearby, approximately 3.4 km away. The region is known for its many leisure activities, including boat trips and water sports on the river. The famous Bawa Gardens and Kande Vihara Temple are also close by, offering cultural and scenic highlights of the region.

Food & Drink

The resort’s Ayurvedic cuisine is predominantly vegetarian and served buffet-style. Each dish is thoughtfully tailored to the different doshas, combining enjoyment with healing benefits. A selection of fish and chicken dishes adds further variety to the menu.

Health & Cures

The Ayurveda centre offers holistic health programmes led by an experienced Ayurvedic doctor with extensive expertise in Panchakarma therapies. Traditional Ayurvedic treatments are carried out in three treatment rooms (approximately 10 m² each) and tailored to each guest’s needs. Alongside their treatments, guests can enjoy an hour of yoga and meditation each morning. Other options, such as acupuncture (at an additional charge), complete the offering and support physical and mental rejuvenation.

Leisure

The area around the Bentota River offers plenty of ways to relax and enjoy a range of activities. Attractions such as the famous Bawa Gardens and the impressive Kande Vihara Temple, around a 9-minute drive away, make for rewarding cultural excursions. Bentota Beach, approximately 3.4 km away, is a wide sandy beach, ideal for walks and relaxing. Swimming in the sea is seasonal and not always possible due to the currents. Guests can take boat trips on the Bentota River or try water sports — a wonderful way to enjoy the natural beauty of the region.

The whole team did their utmost to make us feel comfortable. Their little personalised touches were very reassuring. It was simple, but just right for a gentle reset in a caring environment. The doctor was very approachable and even gave us a talk on Ayurveda, which was really interesting. The daily yoga classes were well adapted. The meals were generous but balanced, and we even managed to lose weight. The massages were carried out with great professionalism. Everything was well maintained and very clean. The manager himself showed us around the local area, happy to share his culture. It felt like being in a dream.

We spent 15 nights at Ayuwaters for a Panchakarma treatment programme and felt incredibly comfortable from day one. I didn’t have any specific health complaints beforehand and did the treatment programme more as a preventative measure. Each day included a consultation with the Ayurveda doctor and about two hours of treatments, such as massages and the typical Panchakarma therapies. The doctor is very experienced and really takes his time. My partner had some health issues before we arrived, which noticeably improved during our stay. After 15 days, we both felt incredibly refreshed and healthy. The property has only six rooms, which creates a very private atmosphere. We were even lucky enough to have the place to ourselves for the first ten days and enjoyed incredibly attentive care as a result. 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 went on a boat trip through the mangroves with him – definitely one of our highlights. The property has only six rooms, which creates a very personal atmosphere. We were even lucky enough to have the place to ourselves for the first ten days and enjoyed incredibly attentive care. 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 genuinely warm-hearted. Another highlight was the candlelight dinner right by the river, for which Gayan went to great lengths. The rest of the team was consistently friendly, attentive and warm – whether during treatments, at mealtimes or just in daily interactions. We can highly recommend Ayuwaters and would love to return.
