Experiential Retreats and Tours
Hidden deep in the village of Thalduwa, you’ll find a private collections of luxury villas where our community can be free, an artistic playground that offers guests an inclusive wellness space to truly unwind and reconnect.
Through collaboration and synchronicity we create immersive wellness experiences that challenge us to discover insights that enrich our daily lives, while having plenty of time to relax, unwind and discover local surf breaks, bars and restaurants during your stay.
Retreat programmes are curated by a collective of international and local wellness practitioners, coaches, chefs, artists, musicians and mixologists supported by a range of special guests, who are all pushing boundaries by developing unique methods in each of their specialisms.
Throughout the year in-house guests can join any of our weekly workshop series hosted at The House, our community hub and boutique 12 bed hotel. Key topics for this season include positive eco-tourism, community farms, river and ocean clean ups, surf and yoga lifestyle guides, living in Sri Lanka, health and wellness, technology, art and innovation with a goal to deliver a solution to aid the recovery of a country that has suffered for years in many ways.
Retreat Practitioners
Retreats, practitioners and speakers rotate throughout the year as the seasons change, much like our menus, allowing guests to experience a wider range of experiences, including specialist retreats and festivals that are held across our tropical private estate.
When creative souls share space in a homely environment where they can freely express emotions and thoughts in privacy, positive change and big ideas begin to form.
