My stay at Rekawa Wellness Resort was truly outstanding. From the moment I arrived, I could feel how much care and attention the staff put into making every guest feel welcome and looked after. The thoughtful gestures, from the fresh coconut on arrival to the welcome massage, made me feel special from the very beginning. A special thank you to Madhu, the manager, who was always checking in on me and doing his best to make sure I could fully unwind, relax, and forget about all the worries of everyday life. The food was absolutely amazing, with so much variety every day. Thank you to Sam, who brightened my mornings with our little conversations, and of course, a big thank you to the chef for the wonderful meals. The yoga and meditation classes were beautiful experiences. I especially appreciated the personal approach and the genuine care and attention from both the yoga teacher and the monk. It made the whole experience feel even more meaningful. I also want to express my deepest gratitude to Nisha, my massage therapist. Her hands made me feel as though I was being cared for by my own mother - with such warmth, tenderness, and genuine care. She is truly amazing. During my five-day stay, there were plenty of included activities, so I never felt bored, and each day had its own rhythm and purpose. This was exactly what I needed. At the same time, I had plenty of opportunities to slow down, reconnect with myself, and recharge surrounded by nature, with the sound of the ocean accompanying me throughout the day. The beach is just a two-minute walk away, which makes the location even more special. I am truly grateful to the entire team for creating such a beautiful, welcoming, and nurturing place. Rekawa was more than just a stay for me - it was an opportunity to slow down, feel cared for, and recharge both physically and emotionally. I would wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone looking for relaxation, wellness, and a little time to reconnect with themselves. Thank you to everyone who made my stay so special! ❤️ Hope to see you again.

We were not sure what to expect but we thrilled with this place from the moment we arrived. The website doesn’t do it justice. A lovely welcome by the manager, Madhu. Every member of staff seemed happy to be there giving a real sense of peace and professionalism. All the massage treatments were terrific and the resident Dr Feelgood 😁was friendly and exceptional. We were in very competent hands. Finally, the food was outstanding, with wonderful original flavours. Every meal was fulfilling and exciting. We will definitely return.

Booked a three night retreat at Rekawa Wellness Just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone..Madhu such a kind and helpful man…Desiree for her amazing yoga thank you..all the restaurant guys and the incredible chef for such delicious and healthy meals,Rasanga for the most incredible massage/treatments I have ever had..and of course the Ayurvedic Dr….Dr feel good thank you We left after a few days feeling stronger and calmer, and most of all happy about taking the time out we both needed so much. Can’t wait to come back and that’s a promise..love always.

I arrived at Rekawa exactly when I needed, when I was finally ready to be held, taken care of, and to let go. The people here feel almost magical: the Ayurvedic doctors and therapists, the yoga teacher, the chef, the guest hosts : each of them, in their own way, reminds you how the body knows its way back to healing. Mother nature holds you here, and there's a sincerity and joy in everyone that's rare to find. An unforgettable experience. Nourishing, balanced, traditional vegetarian meals. An individual approach in every aspect. A family-like cocoon of care you leave like a reborn butterfly.

I had originally booked a 7day stay, as I was in desperate need of a reset and to emotionally regulate myself again. Life took me on another turn, and 2 weeks before my planned stay, another life emergency occurred. I couldn’t last until my planned arrival date, so I emailed Rekawa Wellness with only a few days notice, asking if I could come a week earlier than planned but extend my stay to a total of 2 weeks. They went over and above to accommodate me. I arrived exhausted depleted and feeling lost and broken. From the time I arrived, everything and everyone - from the staff, doctors, yoga teachers, treatments, accomodation, to the overall ambience, felt like a warm hug. I was completely taken care of from morning to night. The tailored treatments truly targeted my needs and I could see other people around me transform within a few days with their treatments too. I will definitely be prioritising an annual visit and encourage my friends to come too. Thank you to all the Team at Rekawa Wellness for building me back up again. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Staying at Rekawa Wellness Resort was a truly wonderful experience. The property itself is lovely, surrounded by a peaceful, nature-friendly environment that left me thoroughly impressed. Having the stunning Rekawa Beach just a short walking distance away made the location perfect for a serene getaway. The highlight of the stay was undoubtedly the team: every staff member was warm, welcoming, and attentive, providing genuinely personalized service throughout my time there. The rooms were exceptionally cozy and offered a comfortable stay to unwind. I will definitely be returning to this wonderful property in the future.

We absolutely loved our stay at Rekawa Wellness. We were warmly welcomed by the hotel manager, and the whole team was incredibly kind and attentive. The Ayurvedic therapists were wonderful, and every treatment felt both relaxing and deeply beneficial. The place itself is beautiful—newly renovated, thoughtfully designed and right by the beach. We even got to see baby turtles nearby! We also really enjoyed our yoga sessions and had some fascinating conversations with the monk. It was a truly special experience that helped us slow down, feel better and learn so much about ourselves through Ayurvedic medicine. A beautiful place with a lovely team—we would highly recommend it!

I spent one wonderful week at Rekawa Wellness during my summer holiday, travelling all the way from England, and it was an amazing experience. The peaceful surroundings, delicious food, and warm hospitality made my stay truly special. I especially enjoyed the meditation and yoga sessions, which helped me feel relaxed, refreshed, and reconnected with myself. The staff were incredibly kind, friendly, and caring, and I felt very well looked after throughout my stay. It was the perfect place to unwind, recharge, and enjoy a peaceful holiday. I would highly recommend Rekawa Wellness to anyone looking for a truly relaxing and memorable experience.

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.
