Balapitiya is a quaint coastal town in southwest Sri Lanka, renowned for its stunning beaches and tranquil ambiance. The town is close to the Madu Ganga Lagoon, a famous wetland with numerous islands and diverse wildlife. Balapitiya is a favoured destination for boat tours, nature explorations, and seaside relaxation, away from the larger tourist crowds.
Ayurveda guests receive dosha-appropriate, Ayurvedic menus recommended by the Ayurveda doctor.

Daily treatments are conducted in the 4 semi-open treatment rooms. The individually tailored Ayurveda treatments include, for example, Abhyanga full-body massage and Shirodhara forehead oil flow. An Ayurvedic sauna and steam bath complement the facilities. The herb garden provides ingredients for the production of our own Ayurvedic herbal medicine. Yoga hall for your therapy-accompanying yoga and meditation, weekly lectures on Ayurveda and Ayurvedic cooking demonstrations. Acupuncture is available on-site (approx. €9 (approx.
