Ein erschwingliches Ayurveda- & Yoga-Retreat in Sri Lanka

Can’t recommend this place enough! Spent 10 days here and left feeling so good and relaxed. The atmosphere is really special, and the food, yoga classes and treatments were amazing.

Rekawa Wellness Resort is a beautiful and peaceful escape with a relaxing atmosphere and stunning natural surroundings. The resort is clean, well maintained, and the staff are warm and welcoming. Every corner of the property has its own unique charm. It’s an ideal place to step away from a busy lifestyle and enjoy true tranquillity. The whole experience leaves you feeling refreshed and recharged. Highly recommended!!

I had an amazing time in rekawa wellness resort. The staff was so kind!! They tought me about ayurveda so I can bring my knowledge home with me. The food was also amazing. I would recommend everybody to come Here, learn more about yourself, relax en enjoy all the treatments. They have a lot and they help you to relax more. I am definitely coming back Here ❤️

Rekawa Resort is a truly special place located in the peaceful Rekawa beach.The atmosphere is incredibly calm and serene, making it the perfect escape from everyday life. They offer yoga classes, especially the unique experience of having a monk guiding Kundalini practices and meditation. The treatments are deeply special and rejuvenating, and the cuisine is simply outstanding, with every dish prepared with great care and creativity based on the ayurvedic concept.

AN ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE! From start to finish, I was treated wonderfully. Dealing with Long Covid, I searched the internet for the best places for recovery, and Rekawa stood out. I had consultations with several Ayurvedic resorts, but my conversation with Sam Kankanamge is what truly convinced me. The way they spoke about my situation and thoughtfully considered my family context was amazing. Their understanding and expertise regarding Long Covid was incredibly reassuring. Afterward, I coordinated with Nilakshi and the team to arrange my entire trip. The communication was excellent; everything was organized from top to bottom, and all my questions were answered, which promised great things for my journey. Since I was going for a full month, I wanted to know exactly what to expect. I chose the Panchakarma 28-Day Deep Reset Package. Upon arriving in Sri Lanka, a very welcoming taxi driver was waiting for me and brought me safely to Rekawa. From the moment I arrived until the day I left, my stay was perfectly organized. The staff members were incredibly kind, helpful, friendly, and always provided service with a smile. From day one, they wanted to feel like a family to me, and I can truly say they succeeded. They listened to all my needs, for example, if I wasn't feeling well and wanted to retreat to my room, they would bring everything to me and adapt my schedule accordingly. I feel like I have gained a second family. The owner was also very friendly, as was everyone else, from the housekeeping staff, servers, and reception to the therapists, doctors, yoga teacher, and the monk. In short, everyone was amazing, without exception. I am definitely coming back. And I haven't even mentioned the location yet, which is simply breathtaking, or the food, which was absolutely delicious! Thank you, Rekawa team!

I spent a week at Rekawa Wellness and eager to return! The location is incredibly special. Surrounded by trees, just a short walk from a beautiful, quiet beach, and one of my favorite parts of the day was swimming in the ocean between treatments. The food was so good. Every meal was fresh, beautiful, and absolutely delicious. The programming for each day sets such a lovely rhythm — morning and evening yoga, treatments, amazing meals, time to rest. It never felt rushed, but there was always something to look forward to. The team was absolutely lovely and went above and beyond to make my stay special. They even organized an Ayurveda class and a cooking class for me, which really added to my experience at the center. Everyone was so warm and genuinely caring, and you could feel how much they wanted guests to have a meaningful stay. I came looking for a reset, and I genuinely left feeling calmer, more balanced, and much more connected to myself. I often think back to that week with so much gratitude. Thank you Rekawa team for making my experience truly special.

We had a truly peaceful and memorable stay at Rekawa Wellness Resort. The location is absolutely stunning, surrounded by nature and close to the beach, making it perfect for relaxation and wellness. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed to blend with the natural surroundings. The food was fresh, healthy, and delicious, and you can really feel the care put into every meal. What made our stay extra special was the warm hospitality -the staff were kind, attentive, and always willing to help with a smile. If you’re looking for a calm, rejuvenating escape away from the busy city life, Rekawa Wellness Resort is the perfect choice. Highly recommended, and we would definitely love to come back again.😌👌

My stay at Rekewa Ayurvedic Retreat was truly unforgettable. The treatments were incredible and left me feeling completely refreshed and renewed. The food was healthy, fresh, and absolutely delicious, and the daily yoga sessions became one of my favorite parts of the retreat. The yoga teacher was exceptionally knowledgeable, wise, and created such a calming and supportive environment. What really makes this place so special, though, is the team. Every single person was kind, caring, and genuinely invested in making every guest feel comfortable. Rekewa simply wouldn’t be the same without them. Their warmth and dedication are what make this retreat such a unique and beautiful experience.

I definitely enjoyed my 6-day stay in the resort. Best of all was the whole staff! Every single person working there was amazing - so gentle and mindful. Besides the delicious food, I enjoyed all the Ayurveda-treatments and the doctors treated me with great seriousness. One of my highlights was the morning yoga-session with our yoga teacher, Tanya. That said, it was quite expensive compared to what is usual here (especially the room prices).

I had such a wonderful experience at Rekawa. The staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and made me feel comfortable from the moment I arrived. The treatments were amazing, and the peaceful location made it so easy to relax and switch off. It was the perfect place to spend some quality time with myself, unwind, and recharge. I left feeling refreshed and grateful for the experience. I would definitely recommend Rekawa and will happily return in the future!

Sam did a excellent job with his hospitality, went beyond to make it a enjoyable experience and very friendly vibes. Also the masseuse nirosha has magical hands!!!

A week well spent , fixed unhealthy eating habits , learned mindfulness, food is amazing, team is extremely professional & friendly ,will definitely go back again

Superb meditation retreat. From the second I stepped foot on the property it was an extremely calming influence. The best part is that it’s a sort of choose your adventure retreat. I decided to focus on meditation and yoga. The monk leading the meditations was amazing, informative and extremely practical with his advise and practise. From 5 am meditations to yoga twice a day I felt a renewed sense of calm by the end of my 5 days. Special thanks to Sam, Charinth and the entire staff who made sure we weren’t left for wanting for anything from amazing food to ensuring cleanliness and a noise free environment. Do note that don’t come here to stay in your room. If you’re serious about relaxing, meditating and Ayurvedic treatments this is the spot for you. Most of the meals were vegan / vegetarian but some of the best food I have eaten in SL. If you’re looking for speedy WiFi and a coworking space this isn’t for you.

Incredible experience I dont know where to start, the most beautiful serene setting, the Team of professional, kind, caring, helpful staff who are always so obliging The Ayurvedic treatments are bespoke so your plan is tailored exactly to your needs There is a Team of doctors on sight every day and always willing to help if needed The food is exquisite, diverse, super healthy and tasty, you will feel amazing They host workshops, tours and events throughout your stay so you will never be idle, and if that is what you do want, that is also welcomed, a day by the beautiful pool is a real treat The beach is stunning and the turtle sanctuary is a must visit! It's exceeded my expectations and will certainly be back THANK YOU to Mishara and all the team, the people are what make this place so special! ❤️

My 10-day Ayurveda retreat at the Rekawa Wellness Resort was truly one of the most beautiful and nourishing experiences I have ever had. From the very first moment, I felt deeply welcomed, cared for, and completely at ease. The entire team made this stay feel absolutely magical. Everyone was incredibly kind, attentive, warm-hearted, and genuinely caring. You can truly feel the passion, professionalism, and years of experience behind every aspect of the retreat. I felt so safe, seen, and wonderfully looked after throughout my entire stay. The Ayurveda treatments were exceptional — highly professional, deeply healing, and perfectly tailored to my dosha and individual needs. Every treatment felt intentional, personal, and thoughtfully designed for my wellbeing. The food was simply heavenly. Every single meal was not only delicious but also beautifully adapted to my personal dietary requirements and completely gluten-free. I felt incredibly nourished in every possible way. Although the hotel is still very new, everything is stunningly beautiful, thoughtfully designed, and impeccably maintained. What impressed me most is that the team already works together so seamlessly — with so much heart, warmth, and care. Leaving was honestly very difficult because this place quickly started to feel like home. The people here truly touched my heart, and I will absolutely be coming back. A wholehearted recommendation ❤️

The staff is so friendly and attentive. Everyone from booking requests, meals and treatments was helpful and accommodating. The doctors are insightful and provided so much information, I actually cried. It was crazy to be understood so quickly, especially compared to the nightmare that is western medicine. The grounds are immaculate and well tended. Plenty of little excursions in the area like watching the turtles in an ethical way was a bonus. I’ll be back for sure for a longer time.

We discovered Rekawa Wellness on our last day in Tangalle and booked in for a morning yoga class which was exceptional! The resort is beautiful, peaceful and quite private to neighbouring accomodation. The rooms looked great and the pool and yoga shala were incredible. The service was amazing too, especially as we weren’t guests and only came for a quick visit for yoga! Definitely recommend this resort for any yoga lovers or anyone looking to stay in Tangalle!

Rekawa Wellness Resort is a beautifully designed wellness hotel, hidden away, a perfect spot to retreat to. I was there for a day and had an ayruvedic consultation, a massage and steam treatment, lunch, sound therapy and yoga. The food was expertly prepared, fresh, varied and delicious, treatments and experiences are wonderful, the staff and owners are professional and very welcoming, and the property itself is actually stunning. It’s designed around a central open courtyard with a huge lilly pond as the focus, a communal dining table at the far end, followed by a pool, lush gardens and a magnificent yoga shala. Everything feels very well thought-through and considered, there is a lovely serene energy there! Left feeling blissed out after one day, and I hope to visit again soon for more healing & rejuvenating!

The best resort in rakawa ❤️

From the moment I arrived, there was this feeling of calm — like everything just slowed down in the most beautiful way. The place is so peaceful, surrounded by nature and just a few steps from the beach… you wake up with the sound of the ocean and fall asleep in complete serenity. The food was honestly incredible. Not just “good”, but deeply nourishing — you can feel the care, the intention, the Ayurvedic wisdom in every meal. It felt like my body was being reset day after day. The treatments were just as powerful. The therapists are so attentive and intuitive — each session felt grounding, healing, and genuinely transformative. And the yoga and meditation… wow. The teachers are amazing — present, kind, and truly inspiring. And sharing moments with the Buddhist monk brought such depth and perspective. The staff are incredibly warm, caring, and thoughtful — you really feel seen and taken care of. This place is a space to reconnect with yourself, with nature I feel calmer, and deeply grateful. I’ll be back 🤍

Fantastic place and great service and lovely staff. The rooms aren't supposed to be great since you're supposed to spend time outside or in group, hence I gave that section 4 stars. You'll leave this place well rested and feeling great!

This is a true gem! The resort recently opened so everything is new and beautiful. Service outstanding, rooms are clean and bed comfortable. Food is ayurvedic and ingredients fresh and juicy. Wellness packages include ayurvedic treatments and individual consultations with the doctor + sunrise/sunset yoga sessions + additional ceremonies when available. Even if you don’t come for the treatments, just being here and relaxing at the pool or on a beautiful (empty 🙂) beach is the best vacation possible. 🫶

Stayed here for 4 days/3nights, as a bed and breakfast. We didn't pre-book any treatments. Pros Stunningly beautiful hotel with friendly staff. The rooms are a good size, bed is big and very comfy. AC and ceiling fan. Hotel grounds are super clean and the pool is big and beautiful and clean. Breakfast buffet is different every morning. Eggs, fresh fruit etc. Lunch and dinner are also different each night and very good. Free yoga classes in the morning and some evenings. Spa/health treatments are amazing and worth the experience. We did a 1 day package, again we didn't book this as a wellness retreat but we're happy to stay and relax as it is super beautiful and peaceful. Location is nice and quiet. The beach is less than 5mins away and is big, beautiful and clean. It is a protected beach. Walk along the beach and you'll find a few restaurants/bars that do good food and drinks. Hotel isvery close to a few restaurants mainland. Ate at two of those restaurants, good food, good prices. Peacocks, butterflies and cute monkeys are around. Cons: As this is a wellness resort and diet is part of that, the restaurant is not available for food outside of the breakfast, lunch and dinner meal times. Meals are all vegetarian (eggs and fish, no meat). There is no fridge in the room so if you buy snacks outside there really is no where to store it. WiFi is only available in the communal areas. Again, a wellness resort so no TV anywhere. There is no free coffee. There is free morning tea but that is at 6am. You can buy coffee from the juice bar.

I was at a fork in the road so decided to drop everything and throw myself into a 3 week wellness retreat at Rekawa. The experience has been nothing short of amazing and I have left knowing my path forward whilst feeling clearer and lighter than I can ever remember. The space is beautiful where you can relax by the pool or go for an energising walk on the beach. I had the best massages of my life there and the other treatments were also excellent. The staff are the kindest most accommodating people you will ever meet. Su the owner is a lovely person who went out of his way to make me feel like part of the family. Can’t recommend this place enough and I will definitely be back!
