Tour Overview
Rest, restore and reset. After two gentle days in Kandy, spend seven nights at a certified Ayurveda resort on the south-west coast with daily treatments prescribed by an Ayurvedic doctor, yoga, meditation and herbal cuisine.
Ayurveda has been practised in Sri Lanka for over 2,000 years, and this is a genuine programme – not just a spa menu.
