Discover the treasures of the Northern beaches of Sri Lanka and their ancient secrets. Our home for the retreat, where the pearl white sand and turquoise sea reach to infinity.

Imagine practising yoga in a land where time holds its breath and the hustle and bustle of modern life seems aeons away. When you first see Sri Lanka’s Northern beaches, all eyes are drawn to its highlight – the white sand, lined with swaying coconut palms and huge banyan trees, where whales cruise the clear turquoise waters just a few miles offshore.

From snorkelling above coral nurseries recovering from the Tsunami to learning about this fascinating part of the world, your trip will help to support the local community. Join us to stop, get involved, relax and catch your breath, and fall in love.
