Hotel details

Lotus Villa is a small-scale Ayurveda resort, where making connections with other retreat guests is very easy. This makes it a perfect place for solo travellers.

Where you are going...

Nestled along the white sandy shores of Ahungulla Beach, Lotus Villa invites you to indulge in a scenic ten-kilometer walk. The resort itself, embraced by palm trees and a charming garden, provides a serene and delightful escape. The approximate travel time from Colombo Airport is 1.5 to 2 hours.

Why you’ll love it...

The charm of this hotel lies in its attention to detail. From the welcoming touch of flower petals on the bed upon arrival to the warm smiles of the exceptionally friendly staff, every aspect contributes to its special ambiance. The informative explanations during meals, the yoga studio boasting sea views, the indulgent flower bath, and the departure blessing all add to the unique experience. Founded in 1995 by Austrian Peter Huber and his Singhalese wife Sumendra, Lotus Villa stands as a small Ayurveda paradise by the shores of the Indian Ocean.

What’s on the Menu

At Lotus Villa, the culinary focus is on preparing light and healthy Ayurvedic cuisine. This entails abstaining from coffee, tea, alcohol, and fatty foods. For breakfast, lunch, and dinner, a three-course menu is customized based on your dosha type (body type). Menu options may include items such as crackers with homemade jam (without added sugar), fruit, soup, and occasionally meat or fish. The culinary offerings are not only nutritious but also delicious, with careful attention given to presentation. Whether you prefer a communal dining experience at the community table or a more intimate setting at smaller tables, the dining arrangements cater to various preferences.

Panchakarma prevention, 14 nights

Indien je echt een goede medische aryurveda kuurprogramma zoekt, ben je hier aan het juiste adres. Zeer kleinschalig. Iedere gast voelt zich er speciaal. Zeer geschikt ook voor alleengaanden.

Panchakarma Rehabilitation, 14 nights

De keuze voor 2 weken Ayurvedische behandelingen in de Lotus Villa was de beste die ik kon nemen.

Een prachtige plek, buitengewoon vriendelijke medewerkers, zeer goede artsen, uitstekend eten.

Ik kan deze kliniek van harte aanbevelen.
