Suvarivi Ayurveda Boutique Resort

First Class

On Sri Lanka’s southern coast, on the outskirts of Weligama, the Suvarivi Ayurveda Boutique Resort was completed in 2022 and is surrounded by a paradise garden of approximately 10,000 sq m. The hotel is nestled in the jungle on Weligama’s highest point, offering picturesque views of the unspoilt surroundings and their subtropical vegetation. The number of rooms has been deliberately kept low to allow for individual, personal attention for every guest. Wi-Fi is available in the restaurant area.

The name of the small town of Weligama, in southern Sri Lanka, says it all: translated, it means “sandy village”. Its bay, with more than 3 km of white sandy beach, is ideal for leisurely walks and is known as a true surfing paradise in Sri Lanka. Along the coast are the stilt-fishing platforms typical of the region, and sometimes you can even watch the fishermen at work.

The hotel’s restaurant has a spacious dining area, where you can enjoy traditional Sri Lankan Ayurvedic cuisine in peaceful surroundings. The menu is prepared and served in consultation with the Ayurvedic doctor. Much of the produce used in these balanced meals, including spices, fruit and vegetables, is grown in the hotel’s own garden. Dietary intolerances can be accommodated if notified in advance. At the weekly Ayurvedic cookery class, you can deepen your understanding of Ayurvedic nutrition and perhaps even treat your loved ones to delicious meals at home in the future.

Following an initial consultation with the Ayurvedic doctor, your personalised treatment plan is tailored to your wellbeing and constitution. Depending on their health, every guest receives at least five Ayurvedic treatments a day. There are 7 treatment rooms available. Among the trees, palms and flowers, you can find peace, shade and space to yourself between treatments. An Ayurvedic doctor is on site 24 hours a day. Yoga and meditation are important parts of the Ayurvedic way of life, promoting harmony of mind, body and spirit. The yoga sessions are led by experienced practitioners, who welcome you to the rooftop terrace at 6:30 am. Combining holistic treatments with Ayurvedic cuisine, yoga and meditation, your treatment programme offers a genuine opportunity to unwind, so you can return to everyday life feeling refreshed.

Unwind by the hotel’s 20-metre infinity pool, with its stunning panoramic views of the jungle, or explore the surrounding area. Weligama Beach is around 7 minutes away by tuk-tuk (for a fee). A nearby temple complex is also an ideal place to meditate.
