WELIKANDE RETREATS

Your awakening journey starts here...

Imagine waking up to the cool, misty air of the Sri Lankan mountains, being greeted by the soft light of dawn and nothing but the soft sound of tropical birds.

​

You step outside to view the rolling hills of the jungle stretching as far as the eye can see. The sky slowly brightens as you watch the sunrise, a golden glow spilling over the lush landscape.

​

You make your way down the estate to an open-air yoga shala overlooking the vast and picturesque Victoria Lake.

​

You're guided through a meditation and energizing yoga sequence, grounding you into the present moment. Your body flows, stretches, strengthens and lengthens amidst the sounds of nature.

​

Afterwards, a nourishing breakfast awaits - starting with a cup of Kola Kanda, a traditional Ayurvedic herbal drink that warms your soul.

​

The day is yours to explore, choosing an activity to experience the culture that surrounds the retreat,  or simply relaxing by the pool and getting an Ayurvedic massage, soaking in the tranquility.

​

In the early evening as the day becomes night and the yang becomes yin,  a restorative yoga session helps you unwind, focusing on deep tissue stretches and mindfulness.

 

As the day draws to a close, you savour a Sri Lankan feast for dinner, filled with aromatic spices and vibrant flavours, a perfect ending to a day of balance and renewal.
