AYURVEDA THERAPY

This time away is not so much a holiday as a journey into re-balancing your body and mind.

It will include daily head face and body massage, acupuncture, herbal compresses applied  to the body and a herbal bath, there may  be other treatments if your doctor feels it will be of benefit. There will also be Ayurvedic remedies to take.

Food is considered a medicine so great importance is given to what you eat. There will be doctors in the dinning room to advise you. The food is high quality vegetarian with a fish option, breakfast and lunch are as plentiful as you wish, dinner is much lighter, juice and teas are available during the day.

There is no Coffee and no Alcohol at this venue.

You will be surprised - Ayurvedic food is both healthy and delicious!
According to Ayurveda, the diet of an individual plays an important complementary role in the Ayurvedic treatment.

Therefore, after the diagnosis of the health status, each guest will be prescribed a diet consistent with the physician’s diagnosis and the recommended treatment.

The food, which is of six main tastes (sweet, sour, salty, bitter, pungent and astringent) and many sub tastes, has been mentioned in classicbooks about Ayurveda, some of them up to 5000 years old, along with the food’s characteristic properties: Guna (property), Virya (potency), Vipaka (post digestive effect) and Prabhava (special attributes).

This doesn't mean a strict regime of bland, tasteless or bitter vegetarian dishes, prescribed by physicians. On the contrary, our Ayurveda kitchen is one of our greatest assets, and the dishes our cooks prepare will surprise and delight you every day of your stay!

The day starts with tropical fresh fruit and fruit juices, herbal and Sri Lankan black tea, yoghurt, eastern and western bread, as well as traditional breads and yams and nourishing congee with different kinds of leaves - “the green soup” (it also aids digestion).

The highlight of the lunch buffet is a range of vegetables, cooked in different ways, and fresh fish, followed by fruit, curd (similar to yogurt) and treacle. There is also dessert for all those who are not watching their weight.

Dinner is a set meal: soup, or entree, main course and dessert. Guests can select to have the vegetarian main course or the fish option.

Saturday evening is “Sri Lanka night”. Wonderful Sri Lankan food - some of it cooked right at the buffet table - and oriental music, played by a group of traditional musicians.
