Step away from the everyday and into a rhythm built entirely around rest and renewal. This 9-day retreat opens in Kandy, at a boutique wellness resort offering daily massage, full board and guided yoga sessions, before continuing south to Talalla, home to one of Sri Lanka’s most celebrated beachfront yoga retreats.
Between sessions, gentle cultural excursions — a coffee heritage trail, a countryside cycling ride, the historic Galle Fort — keep the days varied without disturbing the sense of calm.
Welcome at Colombo Airport and transfer to Kandy. Check in to your wellness resort and unwind by the pool after your flight. Dinner and overnight, with daily massage and full board included throughout your Kandy stay.
Visit the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, one of Buddhism's most revered sites. Return to the hotel for a guided yoga session, harmonising body and breath in a peaceful tropical setting.
Morning yoga session. Later, join Sri Lanka's first coffee-themed circuit — a 2.5-hour signature tasting tour tracing the island's forgotten coffee history through its aromas and plantations.
Choice of an early-morning birdwatching walk or a guided cycling ride through the surrounding countryside, followed by a traditional Sri Lankan lunch featuring jackfruit at a rustic riverside restaurant.
Drive to the south coast (about 5h30) to Talalla, checking into a beachfront villa with sea views just steps from the sand. Relax by the pool on arrival.
Visit the 17th-century Galle Fort, its ramparts and colonial streets. Evening yoga session at the hotel, part of Talalla's renowned beachfront retreat programme.
Morning yoga session, then a free day to enjoy the resort's gym, spa and pool. Optional add-ons include a Turkish-style bath house spa or a guided e-bike ride to a nearby lake and Buddhist temple.
A final morning yoga session, then a full day at leisure to enjoy the beach and resort facilities at your own pace.
