Cinnamon Sea Health Care Resort in detail

Hotel

Set within 2.5 hectares of tropical grounds, the boutique resort Cinnamon Sea Health Care Resort offers an ideal setting for rest, healing and renewal. Its 21 comfortable, stylishly furnished rooms combine modern amenities with a peaceful atmosphere, creating the perfect conditions for a relaxing stay. The resort’s proximity to the sea and spacious garden create a harmonious setting where body and mind can unwind. At the heart of the resort are its traditional Ayurvedic treatment programmes, individually tailored to guests’ needs by experienced doctors and therapists. Combined with healthy Ayurvedic cuisine, yoga and meditation, they create a holistic wellbeing programme with lasting benefits. There is plenty to enjoy in your free time, too. The resort itself does not have a conventional sandy beach; the coastline here is natural, with a mixture of sand and rocks. Steps lead directly into the sea. The surrounding area is ideal for peaceful walks and offers beautiful views of the Indian Ocean. Polhena Beach, around a five-minute walk away, is a sheltered, fine-sand beach with calm, shallow water, ideal for swimming, snorkelling and relaxing. The area also makes a great base for excursions along Sri Lanka’s scenic south coast. Cinnamon Sea Health Care Resort is an ideal retreat for anyone seeking tranquillity, looking to support their health and hoping to recharge. For added convenience, check-in and check-out times are flexible to suit your flight times, with no additional charge.

Location & Surroundings

The resort is right by the sea, just 2 km from the centre of Matara, combining a secluded setting with easy access. Sri Lanka’s south coast is known for its picturesque beaches, unspoilt nature and wide range of leisure activities. Guests can swim, snorkel or kayak in front of the resort, while Polhena’s quiet sandy beach is just a few minutes away. Excursions nearby include historic temples, local markets and the turtle beaches of Rekawa and Kosgoda.

Food & Drink

Enjoy the true essence of Sri Lanka with lovingly prepared, home-cooked meals. Fresh, natural ingredients and the principles of traditional Ayurvedic cuisine are at the heart of every dish. Meals are served as a Tridosha buffet, with the selection tailored to each guest’s individual dosha constitution. In this way, every meal offers more than enjoyment: it also supports balance between body and mind, encourages healing and helps restore energy.

Health & Cures

At Cinnamon Sea Health Care Resort, experience the art of Ayurveda in a peaceful, welcoming setting. Treatments are based on traditional Sri Lankan Ayurvedic principles and are designed to calm the mind, revitalise the body and nurture the spirit. The Ayurveda centre has separate treatment rooms furnished in a traditional style. To ensure maximum privacy, women are treated by female therapists and men by male therapists. Some treatments can also take place outdoors in the garden. Treatments begin after a thorough initial examination. Communication is generally in English; if needed, translation can be arranged where possible. Care is provided by two Ayurveda doctors (available 24/7 and English-speaking), six female therapists and three male therapists. The programme includes traditional Ayurvedic treatments, Panchakarma treatment programmes and yoga sessions. Acupuncture treatments are also available to book for an additional fee. The centre offers a comprehensive, individually tailored health and wellbeing experience, designed to bring lasting balance to both body and mind.

The beaches at Polhena, Matara and Unawatuna invite you to swim, snorkel or kayak, while walks along the coast or through the resort’s tropical gardens provide a chance to unwind. Guests can also choose from a wide range of excursions. Nature lovers can explore national parks and hiking areas, such as Yala National Park or Kottawa Rainforest.

My first Ayurvedic cure was great.

After 2 weeks, it's hard to leave again. The doctors very competent and attentive. My massage therapists always friendly and just the right mix of gentle and effective. The food delicious without exception! The whole team, from the gardener and cleaning staff to the chauffeur, incredibly nice, attentive and very accommodating. The pool very lightly chlorinated; the outdoor shower a dream. At least 2.5 hours of treatments every day, sometimes even 3. I felt very, very comfortable and would happily come back. The perfect mix of relaxation and healing. Everything top-notch!

Unfortunately, the hotel did not meet expectations.

The arrangements made by the travel agency and Fit Reisen were good. However, the hotel could have offered us other room options. The hotel did not meet my expectations. The staff were very good, though, as were the treatments, so I came home feeling well rested.

Everything was perfect. I’d happily go back.
