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

After undergoing a comprehensive renovation in 2011, Maha Gedara has transformed into an authentic Ayurveda resort. The majority of guests visit with the intention of participating in a program, and the resort boasts a well-regarded Ayurveda center led by two experienced doctors. A team of 14 therapists is available to provide personalized treatments. On average, a program includes four to five treatments per day, offering guests a holistic and rejuvenating Ayurvedic experience.

Holistic Activities and Sports

Daily yoga, in the morning and afternoon
Meditation (in the afternoon instead of yoga)
Ayurveda cooking classes
Numerous excursions can be made in the surroundings

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.

Ayurveda

Vanaf het moment dat het hek zich sluit achter je, waan je je in een andere wereld. Een wereld waarin rust en vriendelijkheid centraal staan. Altijd een glimlach, luisterend oor, en voor de volle 100% jou het gevoel geven: ontspan en geniet.

Het hotel is precies wat wij hadden verwacht een kuur oord, rustig aan het strand, erg attente service en bediening, prima kamers en de behandelingen erg prettig. De gasten komen voornamelijk uit Duitsland, Japan en Oost Europa (Rusland)

Vanaf het moment dat je met speciaal vervoer over het terrein van Maha Gedara rijdt naar de centrale hal, voel je je Zen. De welkom ceremonie maakt dit gevoel compleet.
