Journey overview
Overview
12 DAYS | COLOMBO • KANDY • AYURVEDA • NEGOMBO
Ancient wisdom. Healing rituals. Mountain air. Time to simply be.
A restorative journey created around the timeless traditions of Ayurveda, combining a gentle introduction to Colombo with seven nights dedicated to wellbeing in the hills of Kandy.
Begin in Colombo, where you can ease into the rhythm of Ceylon, before retreating into the green landscapes surrounding Kandy for a carefully considered Ayurvedic stay. With daily treatments, nourishing cuisine and time away from the demands of everyday life, the focus shifts from discovering the island to reconnecting with yourself.
End beside the ocean in Negombo, with two final nights to rest, reflect and enjoy the simplicity of coastal living before your journey home.

12 NIGHTS | 13 DAYS
Arrive in Sri Lanka and make your way to Colombo.
Settle into your hotel and allow the journey to begin gently, with no immediate demands on your time.
Enjoy a relaxed evening and your first taste of Ceylon.
Overnight: Colombo
Begin your journey with a relaxed introduction to Colombo.
Discover some of the city's historic neighbourhoods, architecture and cultural landmarks, while leaving plenty of time to enjoy a leisurely lunch and return to your hotel at your own pace.
The intention is not to fill the day, but to begin gradually transitioning from everyday life into the slower rhythm of your wellness journey.
Overnight: Colombo
A quiet day in Colombo before your retreat begins.
Enjoy the hotel, explore the city independently or indulge in a relaxing treatment before your journey into the hills.
This evening, prepare for the next chapter of your journey — seven nights devoted entirely to rest, nourishment and wellbeing.
Overnight: Colombo
Leave Colombo behind and travel towards the green hills of central Sri Lanka.
As the landscape changes, the pace begins to slow.
Arrive at your Ayurvedic wellness retreat in the Kandy region and settle into your surroundings.
Your Ayurvedic programme begins with an initial consultation, allowing the practitioners to understand your individual needs and establish a treatment programme for your stay.
Overnight: Kandy | Ayurvedic Wellness Retreat
Your first full day of retreat begins.
Follow your personalised Ayurvedic programme, with treatments, therapies and time for rest according to the retreat's recommendations.
Nourishing meals, quiet surroundings and time away from everyday distractions become part of the experience.
The day is intentionally unhurried.
Overnight: Kandy | Ayurvedic Wellness Retreat
Allow the rhythm of the retreat to settle in.
Continue with your Ayurvedic treatments and wellness programme, with time between therapies to rest, read, walk through the surrounding gardens or simply be still.
There is no sightseeing schedule to follow.
Your time is your own.
Overnight: Kandy | Ayurvedic Wellness Retreat
Continue your Ayurvedic programme with treatments and therapies tailored to your retreat plan.
Enjoy freshly prepared meals and the natural surroundings of the hills, allowing the simplicity of the environment to become part of your wellbeing experience.
For those who wish, there may also be opportunities for gentle yoga, meditation or other wellness activities offered by the retreat.
Overnight: Kandy | Ayurvedic Wellness Retreat
Another day dedicated to yourself.
Move through your Ayurvedic programme at a gentle pace, with time to reflect, rest and reconnect away from the routines of everyday life.
The surrounding hills, gardens and quiet spaces provide a natural setting for a deeper sense of calm.
Overnight: Kandy | Ayurvedic Wellness Retreat
By now, the rhythm of the retreat has become familiar.
Continue your treatments and therapies, allowing the day to unfold around your wellbeing programme rather than a sightseeing itinerary.
Take time to enjoy the simple rituals of retreat life — nourishing food, quiet surroundings and unhurried moments.
Overnight: Kandy | Ayurvedic Wellness Retreat
Your final full day at the Ayurvedic retreat.
Complete the final treatments of your programme and take time to reflect on the experience.
Enjoy one last quiet day among the hills before beginning the gentle journey back towards the coast.
Overnight: Kandy | Ayurvedic Wellness Retreat
Leave the mountains behind and travel towards Sri Lanka's western coast.
Arrive in Negombo, a coastal town shaped by fishing traditions, lagoons and the Indian Ocean.
After your retreat experience, these final two nights offer a gentle transition back into the outside world.
Enjoy the afternoon at leisure beside the sea.
Overnight: Negombo
Your final day in Ceylon is deliberately free.
Sleep late, enjoy a long breakfast, walk along the beach or simply remain at your hotel.
There is no final sightseeing checklist.
Instead, take one last day to enjoy the feeling of space and stillness before returning home.
Overnight: Negombo
Enjoy a relaxed final morning before your private transfer to Bandaranaike International Airport.
Leave Sri Lanka with the memories of Colombo, the quiet of the Kandy hills and the restorative rhythm of your Ayurvedic retreat.
Your journey comes to an end — with time to carry a little of that slower rhythm home with you.
Departure: Bandaranaike International Airport
A journey designed around a simple idea: sometimes the greatest luxury is having time to pause.
