Hotel Facilities

Sen Wellness Sanctuary offers a holistic approach to well-being, designed to balance your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. The sanctuary’s core elements include Ayurvedic treatments, herbal medicines, yoga and meditation practices, immersive nature experiences, nourishing meals, and transformative group ceremonies. The retreat is a peaceful sanctuary, with the Yoga Shala overlooking lush treetops, providing a serene space for yoga classes, group healing sessions, and dance and music workshops. The beautiful swimming pool is framed by palm trees, and the golden sands and energetic waves of the Indian Ocean provide a stunning backdrop. The daily rhythm at the Sanctuary is designed to make space for deep rest, and for some, this will look like spending more time alone for quiet contemplation in between treatments. For those who embrace a slightly busier schedule, there is an optional excursion or activity on offer each day. To ensure true relaxation and a digital detox, Wi-Fi is available only in common areas, for one hour during breakfast and dinner times. Immerse yourself in a transformative retreat experience at Sen Wellness Sanctuary, where nature and wellness align.

Wellness Facilities

All wellness programs at Sen Wellness Sanctuary start with a personalised consultation with the in-house Ayurvedic doctor. During this session, your treatment plan is tailored to your specific wellness goals, including specialised programmes for detox, weight loss, and targeted treatments for long-COVID recovery. Experience a customised approach to health and well-being, guided by expert Ayurvedic practitioners.

Dining

At Sen Wellness Sanctuary, enjoy Ayurvedic meals infused with home-style Sri Lankan flavours, prepared by a local chef using fresh, seasonal ingredients and spices sourced from the local market. Served buffet-style at a communal dining table, the menu is carefully designed according to Ayurvedic principles, focusing on vegetarian and gluten-free options, with occasional servings of fresh local fish. The retreat offers two nourishing main meals each day, followed by a lighter dinner to support digestive health. To promote detoxification, coffee and alcohol are not served, enhancing the effectiveness of the wellness treatments. Experience wholesome, Ayurvedic-inspired dining that complements your journey to wellness.

Good to Know

The current is too strong to swim directly on the retreat's doorstep, but a picturesque, 25 minute walk along Rekawa Beach will take you to a rock pool where it is safe to swim.  

Location

Sen Wellness Sanctuary is situated on Sri Lanka’s southern coastline, near the towns of Netolpitiya and Tangalle. In keeping with their philosophy that nature is the best healer, the team has designed The Sanctuary to function in harmony with its surroundings. It is located between pristine National Park and Rekawa Beach, a protected turtle nesting beach.

Accommodation at Sen Wellness Sanctuary

The 8 low key, yet luxury cabanas sleep up to 16 people, designed by Brazilian-American architect Adriana Arbex to mimic the natural shape of the conical shell to draw earth energy up from the land to be experienced by guests whilst staying in the rooms. Each of the twin and king-size rooms are carefully designed to allow natural ventilation avoiding the need for air-conditioning; thanks to the beachside location the resort is naturally cool. The bathrooms are open to the elements so guests can experience a shower whilst star gazing.
