Throughout your stay, you will enjoy fresh, nourishing meals inspired by Sri Lankan flavours, prepared daily by our chefs. Unlimited Ceylon tea, coffee, and filtered water are available all day long, and after each morning yoga session, you’ll be served king coconut juice or fresh fruit juice to refresh and revitalise.
​
Daily yoga sessions with Jana are thoughtfully designed to harmonise yin and yang energies. Each class blends strengthening and releasing elements, supporting both physical vitality and emotional balance.

We are honoured to host Aline’s deeply transformative 10-day retreat, Return to Yourself — a journey created for anyone longing to slow down, reconnect, and rediscover their inner balance. In a world that moves fast, this retreat offers a safe and nurturing space to breathe again, soften the body, settle the mind, and listen to your own wisdom.
​
Over nine days, you will move through a beautiful blend of daily yoga (Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Yin, Yoga Nidra), meditation, breathwork, self-inquiry, creative practices, and sharing circles. Each session is designed to help you release stored emotions, let go of old tension, understand your patterns, and build a deeper sense of trust, confidence, and self-love. Aline’s approach is gentle yet powerful, guiding you toward emotional clarity and nervous-system healing at a pace that feels right for you.
​
Between practices, you’ll enjoy nourishing Sri Lankan meals, fresh juices after morning yoga, quiet moments of rest, and time for reflection or mindful exploration. This retreat welcomes all levels, all ages, and anyone seeking emotional renewal, grounding, and meaningful inner transformation. You don’t need to be flexible or experienced — only open to meeting yourself with honesty and kindness.
As part of the retreat, one cultural and nature tour is included, and the group will decide together during the retreat whether to visit Ella or Sigiriya (unfortunately, both cannot be done within the schedule).
​
Ella
High in Sri Lanka’s misty Central Highlands, Ella is a relaxed mountain village known for its tea plantations, rolling hills, waterfalls, and the famous Nine Arch Bridge. The tour includes a tea estate visit, a waterfall stop, a 30-minute scenic train ride, and one night’s accommodation. On the return to the villa, we will stop at a national park for an optional wildlife safari (entrance tickets and jeep not included).
​
Sigiriya
Sigiriya, the iconic “Lion Rock,” is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Sri Lanka’s most extraordinary ancient landmarks. You’ll climb this dramatic rock fortress in time for sunset, passing the Lion’s Paws, ancient frescoes, and the Mirror Wall before reaching the summit for breathtaking views. The tour includes one night’s accommodation near Sigiriya. On the return to the villa, we will stop at a national park for an optional wildlife safari (entrance tickets and jeep not included).
