Hotel details

Heritance Ayurveda Maha Gedara offers a peaceful retreat, providing an opportunity for guests to immerse themselves in the attentive care of Ayurveda therapists.

Where you are going...

The resort is perfectly situated on the pristine white sandy beach of Beruwela, enveloped by a lush tropical garden. With its idyllic setting, it offers easy access to notable destinations like the capital city Colombo and the historic city of Galle, both just a short drive away. Colombo Airport is conveniently reachable within approximately 1.5 hours.

Why you’ll love it...

The driveway unfolds seemingly without end until the colonial-style Heritance Ayurveda Maha Gedara reveals itself, adorned with white columns and arches emerging gracefully from behind the lush tropical greenery. Offering views of the Indian Ocean and a feeling of being nestled within a protected nature reserve, the Ayurveda retreats here boast exceptional quality. An intriguing aspect is the arts and crafts center where local residents engage in modeling, weaving, painting, and sculpting traditional creations, which are then available for sale.

Wellness, Spa and Health

Maha Gedara is an authentic Ayurveda resort where most guests come to follow a programme. The Ayurveda center is led by two experienced doctors and supported by a team of 14 therapists who provide personalized treatments. On average, a programme includes four to five treatments per day, offering a complete Ayurvedic experience.

What’s on the Menu

The culinary experience at Maha Gedara is deeply rooted in Ayurveda, featuring dishes made exclusively with locally sourced vegetables and herbs. The food is not only exceptional but is also presented in buffet style, accompanied by informative cards indicating the dosha type (body type) each dish is suitable for, empowering guests to make personalized choices. A couple of times a week, the chefs treat guests to a flavorful three-course meal. It's important to note that Maha Gedara abstains from serving coffee, black tea, or alcohol, providing herbal teas as an alternative beverage option.
