Thaulle Pure Ayurveda Resort in Detail

Your Hotel

In the south of Sri Lanka, the Thaulle Pure Ayurveda Resort awaits you on the shores of Lake Yoda, "Thaulle" means "shore" in Sinhalese. The organic design hotel offers its guests authentic Ayurveda in relaxing seclusion. The sustainable use of resources and food is also part of the hotel philosophy and honored with the TourCert certificate. The Thaulle Eco Farm on 25 hectares is approx. 8 minutes away. Here you can plant your personal tree, help with the harvest or simply marvel at what the hotelier has created here. The focus on the ecological aspects is noticeable everywhere and makes the house something very special. The private beach area with pool at Kirinda Beach for picturesque views, walks or water sports is approx. 15 min away. Historic small town of Tissamaharama (Tissa, approx. 5 km), pilgrimage town of Kataragama (approx. 25 km), Yala National Park (approx. 14 km).

Sustainability

The Thaulle has dedicated itself to these claims - for the good of the environment and for the benefit of the guest. Thus, the energy production is largely from renewable sources through its own power generation from biogas and solar plants. Vegetables, fruits, herbs and spices as well as all flowers for the decoration are also grown by the hotel itself. To promote the region, local employees and craftsmen are also preferably employed and local materials and products are used, which also means that disposable items such as plastic bottles or imported products are avoided.

Location & Surroundings

The small town of Tissamaharama, former capital of the Sinhalese kingdom of Ruhuna, is only approx. 5 km away. The pilgrimage town of Kataragama, with important Buddhist shrines and temples, is approx. 25 km away and is an interesting destination for excursions, along with Yala National Park (approx. 14 km), known for its large number of leopards.

Kirinda Beach 

Approx. 15 minutes away, lies the light sandy Kirinda Beach with private section of Thaulle Pure Ayurveda Resort (see also videos on the right). With picturesque views of the horizon and expanse of beach, you can relax in the sublime Thaulle Infinity Pool or participate in yoga classes offered there. The active also look forward to swimming, surfing, or scuba diving in the sea (seasonal).

Dining & Leisure

Enjoy Ayurvedic meals according to the respective dosha from the buffet with a lake view. The restaurant is divided over 2 floors; upstairs you can expect breakfast and lunch, downstairs and in the garden by candlelight dinner is taken. Fruit, vegetables and herbs come from the own garden or the region, fish and seafood from Lake Yoda or from the local fish market. Vegetarian, lactose- or gluten-free dishes are available upon request. Weekly, the resort offers Ayurvedic cooking demonstrations - with the products of its own Organic Farm - so that you can also bring a touch of Ayurveda into your own cooking. 

Health & Treatments

"The best thing you can feel [after a Panchakarma cure] is: yourself." says Dr. Upul, head of the clinic at Thaulle Pure Ayurveda Resort with over 20 years of experience and one of Sri Lanka's best Ayurvedic doctors. Dr. Upul comes from an Ayurvedic family and combines traditional Ayurvedic medicine with specially developed treatment methods, also for deeper complaints and chronic conditions.

The personalized Ayurveda (Panchakarma) retreats take place under the supervision of the renowned chief physician with professional team of therapists. The 6 therapy rooms are uniformly equipped with shower/toilet/herbal bath, inhalation and massage couch and must be left only for treatments in ayurv. Steam baths to be left. The Thaulle has an ayurvedic pharmacy with certified ayurvedic medicines and separate garden area for resting by the lake. This is also where most of the medicinal herbs and plants used grow. Acupuncture on request (against fee). German and English speaking care is available, western doctor on call. Feel free to read a detailed interview with Dr. Upul in the PDF below.

Yoga

Daily yoga (mainly Hatha, also Karma, Bhakti and Raja) will take place in the yoga hall on the top floor with panoramic views.

Sustainable Ayurveda retreat in a beautiful ambience

As I booked and started my vacation at very short notice, I would like to take this opportunity to emphasize the flexibility and good advice of the SpaDreams team. I arrived safely and without complications at the airport and after another 4-hour drive with a pleasant driver (Silva), I received a very friendly welcome early in the morning at the Thaulle hotel in Tissa. However, the room shown and booked (SGL=DBL Superior) did not meet my expectations (almost directly above the kitchen, view of the lake with an aging awning "hung up". I was immediately offered two more rooms, so in the end I was very happy with the move to the Junior Suite (for a corresponding surcharge). Unfortunately, no one can be held responsible for the weather; it felt like it was raining from the moment I arrived until I left. This was not to be expected and did not make the vacation really relaxing for me during the time I was there. The always friendly service staff in the beautiful dining area with a view of the lake, as well as at reception, should be emphasized at the Hotel Thaulle. Every request was dealt with immediately and in a friendly manner. The Ayurveda treatments were a real treat, thanks to the masseur Cayan. This masseur is courteous, friendly and proactive. In my opinion, the other male staff still need to practise:-) There were a total of 3 consultations with the doctor, unfortunately very short in time, and questions and sensitivities were not really addressed, as the conversation was usually over after 10 minutes. Although I am largely fluent in English, there was no "flow" of conversation, which I very much regretted, as I perceive Dr. Ulup to be very competent and experienced. I got to know the guest-doctor relationship differently during my first stay. The "flower bath" is a wonderful end to the healing therapy. I must not forget to mention the performance of the kitchen staff. The New Year's Eve buffet was terrific, and the dishes served during the healing therapy were also very tasty, lovingly prepared and a delight for my palate. This was my second Ayurveda retreat in Sri Lanka, and I'm sure there will be a third, as the effects are always lasting! However, I will then consider booking a more spacious resort right by the sea.

Everything perfect

The Thaulle Resort is an oasis of well-being for everyone who needs a break from everyday life and wants to concentrate only on themselves. The concept of the Panchakarma cure is super implemented here. The doctor as well as the therapists and all other employees are considerate and very caring. The organization with treatments and leisure activities is very good. The food is mainly home grown and tastes very good. All in all, you have a very good recovery success here if you can adjust to the tranquility.

An effective and relaxing Panchakarma healing therapy
