Villa Velmarie Yoga and Ayurveda House All Inclusive

We came to this retreat 3 couples (friends) after two weeks traveling across Sri Lanka and we stayed another 16 days here. With my wife we have been before 4 times in Ayurvedic centres in Kerala, India and we have to admit that this one the best retreat we have visited until now. It is smaller, a bit familiar experience but all the staff is very humble, friendly and very professional. They have 3 therapists (2 women and one man) who are all very dedicated and they are providing really good massages and other therapies. With my wife we had therapists Saminde (man) and Lakna (woman) who were really excellent and special thanks to them for their strong dedication , kindness and professional attitude. The rooms and surroundings are very clean, very well maintained and the pool and especially garden was very beautiful. The Ayurvedic doctor is really very good and also very dedicated, taking much time for each patient and trying to find best possible solution. As my wife was diagnosed 8 years ago with autoimmune disease Scleroderma - Systemic sclerosis, in India they have exhausted their possibilities to treat her but here the doctor found additional solution that even in short time, helped her especially with the skin tissue problems. The food was excellent, every day was something new on the menu, The chef Milten was very dedicated, kind and all the time attentive to provide us with additional food if necessary. The director of the retreat was also very nice, every few days came to visit us and asking if everything was going well and he was also opened for any our suggestions and requests. We all really enjoyed the time and with my wife will surely come back here next year for at least one month. We would warmly recommend it as you really get a lot for the price you pay.

This retreat was a wholesome experience. Most importantly since I went at the end of December, I got to start my new year in the most energetic way - after growing these good habits from the retreat. It's perfect for when you're struggling to improve your lifestyle - this made it a lot easier. In terms of the food I eat, what time I get up, starting the day with a nice workout, generally having positive vibes and limiting use of devices. The retreat included very lovely accommodations, daily meals 4-5 by very nice staff, personalized plan by doctor, herbal medicines, daily yoga lessons that were so much fun, and trea**ents like full body massage (it was very excellent massages), flower bath and more (I don't know how I didn't have that on my bucket list, but you should have that on your bucketlist). The vibes there are very lovely, nice to relax. And also a nice close community, people love to connect there. I'd love to go there every year, it's an amazing way how to detox and become the best version of yourself.

Warm welcome with a papaya juice and paved the way to the room after a thorough consultation from a friendly doctor. Custom made trea**ents together with the meals we love. Room.service to its best wearing beautiful similes most of the time. Close to the beach and other amenities. When I come home ,this is my second home.

Why book a spa date when you can have a whole spa vacay? Bonus point: It’s all Ayurwedic! 🪵🌿 It is a small boutique Ayurwedic Resort hidden 1 1/2 hours away from Colombo. The life here is simple and the trea**ents are curated just for you based on your Dosha. According to the consultation I received: 💆🏻‍♀️Shirodhara - To improve my sleep quality and to reduce stress 🙇🏻‍♀️Back Massage - Since I had a small injury and tired legs 🧖🏽‍♀️Steam Bath - To detox our biggest organ, the skin 🛀Flower Bath - Reset and adjust my body to all the trea**ents which I received and to nourish my skin. Overall we had a very homely experience at Villa Velmarie and you should check this place out for a relaxing experience. Staff was very accommodative and friendly and makes you feel like part of the family and not to forget the early morning yoga session which refreshes your mind!

They are so friendly and lovely, the place is like a home, i got sick there and they took a really good care of me, I really recommend this place The place is near coast, and by a few min walk there is a beautiful sea just there A place to chill, relax and do the meditation and inner work.

I spent 6 nights here for a chillout at the end of a longer trip. The massage trea**ents were excellent and the food was tasty. The doctor is a lovely man but didn’t ask any questions about what I wanted to achieve by visiting the spa. He prescribed medicines based on his assessment rather than my goals so I didn’t take them. The garden area is a nice place to relax by the pool and the staff are lovely. Special mention to my therapist Lakna whose massages were the best part of my stay

I took the Ayueveda beginner course and it was very beneficiary. I took the course for own knowledge, and Dr Ishara organized the program in a very well balanced way - good combination theory and practices. Not only I leant the basics, but also the philosophy of Ayeveda. The location is in a very quiet neighbourhood, but not too far from the city, so it is convenient to go around. People there are friendly and helpful, I really had a very nice experience. The food in the Vila is also amazing, prepared in the ayueveda way by the chef - the most lovely person I ever met. Overall, great experience and I might come back again.

Hello Dear all. Just want to say Thank you for the Best Ayurveda retreat for the second time there. Kind people and deep clean the body and mind procedures. Ayurvedic Kitchen was fabulous Happy to meet this place and people again in the Future

This is the second time I am staying at Villa Velmarie for a 3 days retreat. I came back because it was really beneficial for anxiety problems and stress related issues. The ayurvedic doctor is very professional and chose for me the best trea**ents for regaining energy, strength and mental wellbeing. I also did some steam trea**ents for my sinus (super!). The door is good and abundant as always and the stuff professional and well trained. My skin feels smooth and free of toxins, my anxiety is gone and my body and mind are better. I could sleep very well at night, there's no noise to disturb the peace of this villa. I was well taken care of from anyone in charge of the place. There's also the possibility to do some yoga in the morning with a professional yoga teacher. I highly recommend this retreat to anyone in search of good health and mental wellness.
