Ypsylon Resort in Detail

Your Ayurveda resort

Set amidst approximately 5 hectares of enchanting flora and fauna, directly on a 200 m wide private bay (sandy beach seasonal), the idyllic and tranquil grounds of Ypsylon Resort await you. The intentionally low-rise architecture blends perfectly into the landscape. The family-run Ypsylon, with its seasonally open diving school, is also deeply committed to environmental protection. Self-sufficient supply, waste separation and recycling, energy generation and conservation, and resource recovery are at the forefront of a specially designated "environmental zone" near the resort. These measures are unique in Sri Lanka and are warmly supported by the government.

Location & Surroundings

Beruwela is one of the oldest cities on Sri Lanka's west coast, where a lighthouse built by colonial powers still stands on a small island in front of the harbour. The reef extending from here protects the long sandy beach all the way to the Bentota River.

Restaurants

Adjacent to the Ayurveda Center, exclusively reserved for Ayurveda guests, you will find the Ayurveda Pavilion with an open buffet. Your day begins with a "Nature Smile Smoothie"; at lunch and dinner, enjoy traditional Ayurvedic cuisine-varied, low-calorie, vegetarian, and complemented by local side dishes. Upon request, lean white fish or chicken is also available.

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

Ayurveda Center

The Ayurveda Center is located in the resort's garden area and is managed by experienced Ayurvedic doctors. You will be welcomed by a skilled and well-trained team of therapists, with several treatment rooms for Shirodhara, oil massages, baths, acupuncture, an Ayurvedic steam bath, and a herbal sauna. Complementary yoga is offered alongside your therapy, and meditation sessions are available upon request (approx. 10€ per hour, approx. UK £9 / USD $11). Only hand-crafted natural herbal medicines, prepared according to traditional Ayurvedic recipes, are used.

Free Time

The pool is set in the garden, surrounded by lush exotic greenery. The sheltered bay invites you to swim (seasonally). The resort offers its own diving school (seasonal), table tennis, and beach volleyball. There are numerous cultural and sporting excursions available, such as the weekly market in Aluthgama, the Cinnamon Island, and a river cruise on the Bentota River (bookable on site). Sri Lanka boasts eight UNESCO World Heritage sites.

as a couple | 50 to 59 years | 12 - 16 days

An absolutely good price-performance ratio. It's amazing what wonderful staff the hotel has. Everyone was approachable and incredibly friendly at all times. We had a great time and flew back to Germany very well rested after our first Ayurveda vacation. The rooms are as described, simple, clean and functional. The food, 3 times a day, was really good and tasty. The daily treatments were absolutely top, two hours, on some days even additional appointments. We are very satisfied! Thank you very much for this wonderful vacation
