Hiru Beach Ayurveda Resort

Komfort

Right on the beach, Hiru Beach Ayurveda Resort is a small, welcoming retreat with its own character. Hiru Beach is the sister resort to the other three Hiru Ayurveda resorts — Hiru Villa, Hiru Mudra and Hiru Om — offering guests a holistic escape through authentic Ayurveda. Its architecture combines classic colonial and Sinhalese elements to create an atmosphere of elegant comfort. This boutique resort is surrounded by a lush, flowering garden and tall coconut palms. The airy communal spaces offer open views of the garden and sea. Warm, cheerful colours and a golden sandy beach create a unique sense of wellbeing.

On Sri Lanka’s west coast, between Bentota and Ambalangoda, lies the coastal town of Kosgoda. Once known for cinnamon cultivation and fishing, it is now famous for its sea turtle hatchery and the almost untouched Kosgoda Beach.

The restaurant offers lovely views across the garden and pool to the sea. You can enjoy Ayurvedic meals created by the Ayurveda doctor and therapy team, and tailored to your constitution (dosha). If you would like to recreate Ayurvedic cuisine at home or share what you have learnt with family and friends, you can also take part in cookery classes.

The Ayurveda centre is set in the garden and has 5 treatment rooms. An experienced team, including an Ayurveda doctor and several therapists, will be on hand to provide a personalised Ayurvedic programme. For optimal results, you will receive at least 4 treatments each day. These include classic elements of Panchakarma and may support vitality, regeneration, strength and immune health. The Ayurvedic medicines used contain only natural ingredients. The yoga platform is used for yoga, meditation, music therapy and Qi Gong.

Indications

The art of longevity can be beneficial in many areas, for example in cases of migraines, diabetes, high blood pressure, asthma, allergies, back pain, skin, digestive or circulatory complaints, weight management, multiple sclerosis and much more.

Yoga

Yoga is predominantly Hatha and takes place as a group in the yoga pavilion at Hiru Beach 5 times a week. The word Hatha is made up of the syllables “ha” (sun, active life) and “tha” (moon, rest, feelings, intuition). It refers to the physically focused branch of yoga, which seeks to balance opposites. The aim of the various postures (asanas) and breathing exercises (pranayama) is to bring the two components together and help you find personal balance.

Qi Gong

Qi Gong helps regulate the flow of energy (Qi) in the body. It originates in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and is offered in group sessions twice a week alongside the programme. Through breathing and concentration exercises, gentle movements and meditation, it can help clear the mind, strengthen the body and support overall wellbeing.

Relax by the outdoor pool on a sun lounger or on the beach after your treatments (please avoid direct sunlight after a treatment). Swimming in the sea is only permitted after checking with the staff, due to currents. The hotel has a library. Evening events, such as music and dance performances, are offered depending on the programme. The Hiru team will be happy to arrange a range of local excursions, for example to the Kosgoda turtle farm (approx. 30 minutes’ drive), the moonstone mine in Meetiyagoda (approx. 1 hour’s drive) or the port city of Galle (approx. 1 hour’s drive).
