Away from mass tourism, the exclusive Ayurveda Resort, reserved for Ayurveda guests and their companions, lies directly on the fine sandy beach. Experience traditional treatments, yoga and meditation of the highest quality and under loving care.
In the south of Sri Lanka at Talalla near Matara, far away from the big tourist crowds lies the well-groomed Surya Lanka Ayurveda Beach Resort, directly on the sandy beach. The resort is run with love and dedication to Ayurveda. For German guests it is one of the most popular Ayurveda hotels in Sri Lanka and has a long tradition. The Sinhala-Australian management cares with much attention for the satisfaction of the guests.
Ayurvedic buffet meals are mainly taken in the garden under palm trees with a view of the pool and sea. Optionally 3-4 times per week and on BBQ evenings also chicken or white fish. Weekly Ayurvedic cooking demonstration. Herb garden.
Surya Lanka is one of the few health resorts in Sri Lanka that practices Ayurveda according to the original sources of the "Ashtanga Samhita", the oldest preserved Ayurvedic scripture from the 6th century B.C. The qualified Ayurvedic doctors and therapists are specially trained to deal with European guests. In the renovated Ayurveda Centre, 12 treatment rooms for personalised treatments of the highest quality e.g. head, facial, Abhyanga full body, synchronous and thermal massages, herbal baths, warm oil treatments such as Kati Vasti or Uro Vasti. Yoga and meditation 5 times a week in the morning and evening at the pool or in the Yoga Pavilion. German speaking translator on request (please specify when booking).
The 3 Karmas
In Surya Lanka the Ayurveda Panchakarma is divided into 3 levels (Karmas):
During the Purva Karma (pre-treatment) the toxins are slowly released by means of oil massages, internal oiling and steam baths, so that they can be flushed out during the Pradhana Karma (main treatment) by means of Vasti (enema), Nasya (nasal/ sinus cleaning), Virechana (purging) and partly also Vamana (therapeutic vomiting). Finally, Pashtata Karma (after-treatment) with regenerating treatments and the final nutritional adjustment.
Large pool. The long sandy beach is open to the public, but is used by local fishermen due to the remote location of the resort. Ideal for walks, swimming after arrangement with the Lifeguard (due to currents).
There are a total of 43 double rooms with balcony or terrace in several buildings: tasteful, simple, furnished with wooden materials and deliberately without TV and telephone. The view is of the garden or the sea, fans and high ceilings ensure a pleasant temperature. 24 Garden rooms with garden and/or sea view, 5 Beach rooms with sea view closer to the sea and 14 New Wing rooms in the newest part of the complex, near the restaurant. All rooms can also be booked for single use and, on request with SpaDreams, rooms with air conditioning (for a fee). WiFi in the room and in the lobby. Alcohol/smoking is not permitted in the living area.
