Heal in the Pearl

Ayubowan! Upon your arrival in Sri Lanka, your dedicated Aurivana Ceylon chauffeur guide will be waiting to welcome you for the journey ahead. Leave behind the noise and chaos of the capital and transfer to Habarana, a peaceful corner of the cultural triangle. Check into a rustic, highly eco-conscious retreat designed to deliver an authentic back to nature experience. With no activities planned, spend the rest of the day at leisure recovering from your flight.

Spend the next two days exploring the remnants of Sri Lanka's spiritual past hidden within the cultural triangle. Cycle through the ancient ruins of the Sinhalese capital at Anuradhapura, visit Mihintale, the birthplace of Buddhism in Sri Lanka, and trek through the mystical Ritigala monastery, steeped in legend and myth. Enjoy traditional Ayurvedic treatments alongside lodge activities such as kayaking and guided nature trails.

After a true Sri Lankan breakfast, prepare to immerse yourself fully in nature. Transfer to Kandy, the hill capital of Sri Lanka, for three nights of discovery, authentic Ayurveda and Reiki treatments, yoga classes and deep healing for both mind and body. Test your adventurous spirit with a hike to the Knuckles Summit, a trail that winds through tea fields and laid back villages before rewarding you with dramatic 360 degree views. Stay at a peaceful retreat nestled high in the mountains, surrounded by tea plantations, dedicated to teaching healthy living through nature based activities including bird watching and river bathing.

After breakfast, head south to Koggala in the Galle district for a three night stay. Settle into a luxurious, environmentally friendly retreat on the shores of Koggala Lake, designed to melt away every trace of stress and fatigue. Take part in quantum yoga sessions in a treehouse style yoga shala, indulge in rejuvenating spa treatments, meditate in peaceful surroundings and swim in a stunning infinity pool. Don't miss the chance to go kayaking, join a cooking class or cycle around the lake to experience the vibrant charm of local village life.

Begin the final phase of your wellness journey with a transfer to Talalla, one of the most stunning and undiscovered beaches along Sri Lanka's southern coast. Check into a renowned themed yoga retreat dedicated to stilling the mind, soothing the soul and invigorating the body, exactly what a tired traveler needs. Spend your days strolling along the sand, swimming in calm turquoise waters and immersing yourself further in yoga, meditation and Ayurvedic wellness treatments.

Your wellness journey through Sri Lanka comes to a close. Your Aurivana Ceylon private chauffeur guide will safely transfer you to Colombo International Airport in time for your departure flight, carrying with you a renewed sense of balance, calm and wellbeing. Until we meet again!
