Seven days to
return to yourself.
The whole bungalow, a resident doctor, and a course of treatment shaped to your body — for one guest or one couple at a time.
Not a spa. A cure.
This is authentic Hela Ayurveda, practised privately. You are seen by a doctor, your constitution is read, and a programme is prepared for you and the season you arrive in — then followed, day by day, in a bungalow kept entirely for you.
The medicine was here before the guests.
The Ayurveda here is not invented for visitors. It is the practice of Master Sekaradaris — the village chief and Hela Ayurveda physician who built this house two centuries ago — kept and passed down, unbroken, through four generations of his family.
When we restored the bungalow, we restored the practice with it. The retreat is not a spa we added; it is the house remembering what it was built for.
Real Hela Ayurveda — the island’s own.
This is Hela Ayurveda: Sri Lanka’s own tradition, older than the colonial walls around you. Every preparation is drawn from the jungle — roots, flowers, bark and forest herbs — gathered and made by hand, to recipes never written down for anyone outside the family.
Warmed oils, herbal infusions and traditional therapies, each matched to your constitution and the season you arrive in. Medicine grown a few steps from where you take it.
It begins with the doctor.
A resident physician reads your constitution and prepares a course for your body and the season. Then the rhythm: breath and slow movement at first light; treatment through the morning; food cooked as medicine; rest, or the sea; a second therapy as the garden cools; and the deep sleep the cure is built around.
Usually seven nights — the whole bungalow, and the doctor, kept for you alone.
The rhythm of the cure.
Yoga & Meditation
The garden, before the heat. Breath and slow movement to open the day.
Consultation & treatment
Time with the doctor, then your prescribed therapy — oils, herbs, warmth, skilled hands.
A prepared meal
Food as medicine — cooked for your constitution, from the garden where it can be.
Rest, or the coast
Sleep, read, or be taken to Galle Fort and the sea. Unhurried by design.
Evening therapy
A second treatment as the light turns and the garden begins to cool.
Stillness
Dinner, quiet, and the deep sleep the cure is built around.
