Ayurveda Retreat in Sri Lanka - Thaulle Resort by Yoda Lake (near Yala National Park)
Thaulle Resort is a dedicated Ayurveda retreat in Sri Lanka, located on the shores of Yoda Lake in the Southern Province. We combine structured, doctor-supervised Ayurveda programs with a calm natural setting. The retreat is close to Yala National Park and the spiritual town of Kataragama, offering both focused treatment time and selected cultural experiences.
Dedicated Ayurveda Retreat – Not a Spa Add-On
Thaulle Resort is designed for guests seeking a structured Ayurveda program rather than occasional wellness treatments. Our focus is on multi-day stays with a defined daily rhythm that includes consultations, treatments, nutrition, and rest.
What distinguishes an Ayurveda retreat from a spa hotel?
An Ayurveda retreat follows a structured therapeutic concept over several days or weeks. Treatments, diet, and daily routines are coordinated. A spa hotel typically offers individual wellness services without an integrated program framework.
