Curated journeys allow connection to an island of wellness.

Ayu in the Wild’s bespoke wellness retreats in Sri Lanka are personally curated by the Founders to help our guests find ways to realign their sense of being while discovering the joy of giving back - to one’s own self and others. Aligning with Ayu in the Wild’s founding ethos of giving back to the island, the people and the wild, every bespoke Sri Lanka wellness retreat will support a positive impact initiative on our island.

Mindfulness of the here and now

Each wellness retreat in Sri Lanka is tailor made as journeys that tap into connections around the island, allowing you to discover a deeper sense of self and mindfully appreciate the here and now. Weaving in moments of Sri Lanka's heritage of wellness into an explorative journey of a culture so vibrant, a history so ancient, a ground so sacred, a wilderness so restorative - with rituals grounded in Sri Lanka's traditions of healing.

1. Where can I experience the best Wellness Retreats in Sri Lanka?

Every journey is different. Ceylon Concierge by Ayu will work 1:1 with participants long before you arrive in Sri Lanka through a dialogue of discovery to create a bespoke wellness journey that aligns with your individual goals of healing.

Retreats can range from 7 – 14 days and be based anywhere in Sri Lanka, offering flexibility to access preferred spa treatments at luxury boutique hotels, choose privately guided experiences, and a range of wellness dining options across the island.

2. What will I experience on this Sri Lanka Wellness Retreat?

Centered on daily rituals, mindful practices, yoga and nutrition, every retreat is also a journey of discovery.

It is a balance of wellbeing and adventure curated by a team including collaborators on mindfulness, art and Yoga with a few slow travel experiences centred around local livelihoods and landscapes included in between spa treatments, and mind and body healing. Ayu in the Wild’s wide network of local hosts and experience makers make each wellness retreat unique, personalised and therapeutic. Much more than a spa getaway.

3. What makes these Wellness Retreats in Sri Lanka special?

Ayu in the Wild’s bespoke wellness retreats in Sri Lanka are curated to allow continuous personal growth, even after guests leave the shores of this wellness island. A private end of stay consultation and an individual wellness progress map with a personal wellness journal are designed to inspire participants to sustain their wellbeing practice.

4. Can I enjoy good food on these curated Wellness journeys?

Food to Nourish the Soul.

The wellness cuisine is an invitation to all who desire to eat well and partake of conscious and nutritious cuisine that delights the senses and elevates wellbeing on a journey of discovery.

On each bespoke wellness retreat in Sri Lanka be prepared to savour flavours, balanced by naturopathic nutritionists to suit individual doshas (Ayurvedic energies), fulfill dietary needs and preferences.

Eating mindfully means tasting the subtle flavours of an earth-to-table meal that respects ingredient provenance; it means learning to consciously taste notes of the terroir in a cup of Ceylon Silver Tips; it means appreciating a plant-forward local cuisine weaving in the goodness of local herbs and spices curated to ignite a sequence of fuel-heal-sustain, following century old recipes.

Participants will experience diverse flavour profiles and re-interpreted iconic Sri Lankan cuisine. Options to dine include specialized wellness resorts kitchens and ayurvedha pavilions to guided forage on forest bathing walks, including selected walks of Ayu in the Wild’s Inspiring Climate Conscious Walks of Sri Lanka Portfolio.

5. Why choose an Ayu in the Wild Wellness Retreat?
