Ypsylon Resort in detail

Hotel

Set amid around 5 hectares of enchanting flora and fauna, right beside a 200 m-wide private bay (with a sandy beach seasonally), the peaceful, idyllic grounds of Ypsylon Resort offer a tranquil retreat. Its deliberately low-rise design blends seamlessly into the landscape. The family-run Ypsylon, which has a seasonally open diving school, is also strongly committed to environmental protection. Self-sufficiency, waste separation and recycling, energy generation and conservation, and resource recovery are priorities in a dedicated “environmental zone” close to the resort. These measures are unique in Sri Lanka and receive the government’s support.

Location & Surroundings

Beruwela is one of the oldest towns on Sri Lanka’s west coast. Just offshore from its harbour, a lighthouse built during the colonial era stands on a small island. The reef extending from the island protects the long sandy beach all the way to the Bentota River.

Food & Drink

Next to the Ayurveda centre, reserved exclusively for Ayurveda guests, the Ayurveda pavilion serves an open buffet. The day begins with a “Nature Smile Smoothie”, followed at lunchtime and in the evening by varied, low-calorie traditional Ayurvedic cuisine, served with local side dishes. Lean white fish or chicken is available on request.

A public à la carte restaurant serving national and international dishes is located at the front of the resort. Many of the herbs and ingredients come from the resort’s own gardens.

Health & Cures

The Ayurveda centre is set in the resort gardens and is run by experienced Ayurveda doctors. A skilled, qualified team of therapists is on hand, with several treatment rooms for Shirodhara, oil massages, baths and acupuncture, as well as an Ayurvedic steam bath and a herbal sauna. Yoga to complement your treatment programme is also available, along with meditation on request (approximately €10 per hour). The centre uses handmade, herbal natural remedies prepared according to traditional Ayurvedic recipes.

Leisure

The pool is set in the garden, surrounded by lush tropical greenery. The sheltered bay is ideal for swimming (seasonally). The resort also has its own dive school (seasonal), as well as table tennis and beach volleyball. There are plenty of cultural and sporting excursions to enjoy, including the weekly market in Aluthgama, Cinnamon Island and a boat trip along the Bentota River (bookable locally). Sri Lanka is home to eight UNESCO sites.

Additional information

Hotel rooms at a glance

Set among tropical gardens, 36 spacious double rooms (approx. 25–38 sqm) are spread across several charming two-storey buildings and are also available for single occupancy. Choose from thoughtfully designed “Eco” wooden cottages, built specifically for Ayurveda guests and located around the pool, close to the Ayurveda centre, or stylish comfort rooms overlooking the greenery, with partial or direct sea views. Both room types have a simple, uncluttered design: tiled floors, a shower, WC and bidet, mosquito nets, ceiling fans, individually controlled air conditioning, a safe, and a balcony or terrace create a peaceful retreat where you can unwind and take a breath. The comfort rooms also feature either a colonial-style four-poster bed or twin beds. Wi-Fi is available throughout. Three newly renovated sea-view rooms with upgraded furnishings are also available on request (supplement of €25 per room per night).

Ein absolut gutes Preis Leistungsverhältnis. Sagenhaft, was das Hotel für wundervolle Mitarbeiter hat. Jeder war zu jeder Zeit ansprechbar und unheimlich freundlich. Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit und sind sehr gut erholt nach unserem ersten Ayurveda Urlaub zurück nach Deutschland geflogen. Die Zimmer sind wie beschrieben, einfach, sauber und zweckmäßig. Das Essen, 3x täglich wirklich gut und schmackhaft. Die täglichen Anwendungen waren absolut top, zwei Stunden, an manchen Tagen sogar noch zusätzliche Termine. Wir sind sehr zufrieden! Vielen Dank für diesen wunderbaren Urlaub
