Adhitya Ayurveda in detail

Hotel

“Adhitya” comes from Sinhala and can be translated as “the rising sun”. Surrounded by tropical plants and trees, Adhitya Ayurveda Resort has a particularly welcoming atmosphere, radiating calm and harmony like the rising sun. The resort is an ideal place for anyone looking to take a break from everyday life, improve their health or recharge their energy. Here, away from the bustle, you can focus fully on your Ayurvedic programme, with professional support from the resort’s experienced in-house Ayurveda doctors. Guests with more serious complaints or conditions are also in good hands at Adhitya Ayurveda.

Location & Surroundings

Anuradhapura, the ancient royal city, lies in the north of Sri Lanka, around 200km/4 hours from Colombo. Rich in cultural and religious heritage, it forms part of the island’s renowned Cultural Triangle. The city has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1980. Its proximity to numerous sights and national parks offers plenty of ways to explore the surrounding area and experience Sri Lanka’s charm and warm hospitality.

Food & Drink

The vegetarian Ayurvedic dishes are created in collaboration with the Ayurveda doctors; fish is served on their recommendation. The focus is on a balanced, healthy diet, using ingredients that are predominantly organically grown.

Health & Cures

The Ayurveda centre, with around 25 Ayurveda therapists, is led by the Gunawardhana family. Dr S. S. Gunawardhana is a renowned Ayurveda doctor with more than 40 years of experience. He has developed pioneering treatments in his field, particularly for cardiovascular disease, female and male infertility, arthritis, diabetes and neurological conditions. His son, Dr Kasun Gunawardhana, works alongside him. He graduated from Gujarat Ayurveda University in Jamnagar, India, and specialises in treating paralysis, strokes, joint problems, Parkinson’s disease, muscular dystrophy and multiple sclerosis. High-quality Ayurvedic medicines are produced in the centre’s own manufacturing facility and later used during your Ayurveda programme. The Adhitya Ayurveda team also conducts regular research and development in its own state-of-the-art laboratory.

The 12 treatment rooms provide a welcoming atmosphere during treatments. Following an initial examination by the doctor, treatments are tailored to each guest to address their health conditions effectively. They include head, face, body and foot massages, oil treatments and warming herbal baths, while yoga and meditation also form part of the programme. The centre is committed to sustainability and avoids using plastic for treatments wherever possible. Yoga and meditation sessions take place daily as part of the programme.

Leisure

The outdoor pool and hot tub invite you to cool off and unwind. A sauna is also available. The area around Adhitya offers plenty of fascinating excursions. Visit the Sigiriya Monolith (approx. 74 km) or Wilpattu National Park (approx. 40 km) to experience the unique flora and fauna at close quarters. Excursions to Polonnaruwa and Dambulla, which together with Anuradhapura form the Cultural Triangle, bring you closer to Sri Lankan culture (for an additional charge). There are also interesting places to visit nearby, such as the “Weda Gama” herbal garden (approx. 18 km).
