The retreat

Hosted on the beautiful south coast of Sri Lanka, this week-long wellness retreat is a unique opportunity to open yourself up to the powerful healing Indian Ocean alongside great company.
Together, we will tune in to how it feels to unfold, release,  and disconnect through early mornings full of yoga, surfing sessions, and time well spent at sunset time sipping coconuts under a palm tree…

Vibes & week’s program 

Every morning will begin with a 90-minute yoga practice of Vinyasa Flow. This practice is designed to help you to harness a better connection with your body and to be able to shutter the mind. After the practice you will be welcomed by delicious vegan/vegetarian breakfast full of fresh and locally sourced products by the Island Sisters team.

From here, you have the day to enjoy at will! Those wishing to surf, can grab a board or book a surfing lesson with us. You can explore the multiple spots just in front of our accommodation or get a tuk-tuk and experience the many spots along Sri Lanka’s south coast. Our team will recommend the best options for your needs.
For those in search of relaxing tropical vibes, get a fresh coconut and take a barefoot walk along the palm-lined beaches, or cycle through the local villages surrounding Weligama. You have unlimited options to enjoy the area.

As the day draws to a close, you are invited to join the rooftop Sunset Sessions where we will cover a variety of self-healing practices. From Yin yoga, Hatha, and moon salutations, to a variety of sound healing sessions with tibetan bowls, gongs or other instruments.

Come dinner time we will gather together for delicious meals at one of the many neighborhood dining options proposed by the collective. Local, vegan and little concerts are on the plan!

*Full program will be released with enough time before the arrival of participants*


What people say about us…

“Cosy and super friendly”
My experience in the retreat was great. The small size of the group made us feel like a small family. It was a very friendly environment but still very professional, keeping the group engaged at all times with different activities each day.

October retreat by Malakai wellness

This October we had a fabulous time with the crew of Malakai Wellness in their retreat in our house.

It was a retreat full of surprises and activities. We started the weekend with a welcome dinner in a very special location in the city by the girls of La Casa del Vacío.  The menu was a tasty pumpkin soup, filled roasted peppers with fish, olives, cheeses, etc., all accompanied with great wines of the region and wonderful music played by a local guitarist.

After that, the days went by with a mix of early mornings of Vinyasa yoga followed with healthy organic breakfasts, strolls around the city and the beach, more pintxos, and some shopping for the participants of the retreat.

Finally we closed this weekend with an amazing pintxo tour in the city leaded by Alex of San Sebastian trips.

Here's a couple of pics of those days!! 
Thanks Malakai Wellness for choosing our home for your retreat :)
