Roman Lake Ayurveda Resort in detail

Hotel

Roman Lake Ayurveda Resort is a privately run gem on the lake, surrounded by a picturesque mangrove forest. It offers a unique experience for anyone seeking peace and relaxation. This boutique Ayurveda hideaway is the ideal place to rediscover your inner balance amid breathtaking natural surroundings. With Ayurveda and yoga, guests can restore harmony to body, mind and spirit. A stay at Roman Lake Ayurveda Resort brings personalised care, a deep connection with nature, stylish surroundings and a touch of luxury.

Location & Surroundings

Balapitiya is a small coastal town in south-west Sri Lanka, known for its beautiful beaches and peaceful atmosphere. It lies close to the Madu Ganga Lagoon, a famous wetland with numerous islands and a rich variety of wildlife. Balapitiya is a popular destination for boat trips, exploring nature and relaxing by the sea, away from the larger tourist crowds.

Food & Drink

Ayurveda guests are served dosha-appropriate Ayurvedic menus recommended by the Ayurveda doctor. Most of the fresh vegetables come from local farmers, and some of the recommended dishes also include white fish and chicken. On request, you can dine by the lakeshore and enjoy the stunning views (weather permitting). Accompanying guests can choose from international à la carte cuisine.

Health & Cures

A team of two Ayurveda doctors and experienced therapists cares for guests at the Ayurveda centre, the heart of the resort. Daily treatments take place in four semi-open treatment rooms. Individually tailored Ayurveda treatments include Abhyanga full-body massages and Shirodhara oil-pouring treatments. An Ayurvedic sauna and steam room complete the facilities. The herb garden provides ingredients for the resort’s own Ayurvedic herbal remedies. There is a yoga hall for yoga sessions to complement your programme and for meditation, as well as weekly talks on Ayurveda and Ayurvedic cooking demonstrations. Acupuncture can be booked on site (approx. £8 [€9] per treatment).

Leisure

The outdoor pool, with its sun loungers, invites you to unwind, while the unspoilt natural landscape is ideal for leisurely walks and more adventurous bike rides. The coastal town of Balapitiya is just a 10-minute walk away, or 2 minutes by tuk-tuk. A shuttle to the beach, around 5 minutes away, is included once a day. Transfers to the sister hotel, Roman Life Ayurveda Resort, can be arranged for a fee. The resort team will be happy to organise longer excursions, for example to Kandy, Galle or Colombo, for a fee.

Everything was great; the only thing was that the weather wasn’t very nice.

Very beautiful

Unfortunately, we were served frozen vegetables in the evenings, and this did not change despite many complaints. That’s just not acceptable and has nothing to do with Ayurveda. The soups should also have been more varied; we ate pumpkin soup for a whole week. The resort is in a beautiful location and offers the peace and quiet you need. I can highly recommend it.

A place to relax.
