Thaulle Pure Ayurveda Resort in Detail

Your Ayurveda Resort

Located near Yala National Park, on the shores of Yoda Lake, Thaulle Pure Ayurveda Resort awaits you, where "Thaulle" means "shore" in Sinhalese. This eco-design hotel, managed under German-speaking leadership, offers its guests authentic Ayurveda in a tranquil, secluded setting. The sustainable management of resources and food is also part of the hotel's philosophy and is honored with the TourCert certificate. The Thaulle Eco Farm, spanning 25 hectares, is about an 8-minute drive away. Here, you can plant your own tree, help with the harvest, or simply marvel at what the hotelier has created. The focus on ecological aspects is palpable throughout and makes the hotel truly special. The private beach area with a pool at Kirinda Beach, offering picturesque views, walks, or water sports, is approximately 15 minutes away.

Sustainability

Thaulle is committed to these standards for the benefit of the environment and the well-being of its guests. Energy is largely generated from renewable sources through its own production of biogas and solar power. Vegetables, fruits, herbs, and spices, as well as all flowers for decoration, are grown on-site. To support the region, local employees and craftsmen are preferred, and local materials and products are used, which also means avoiding single-use items such as plastic bottles or imported products.

Kirinda Beach

About 15 minutes away, the bright sandy Kirinda Beach with a private section of Thaulle Pure Ayurveda Resort offers scenic views of the horizon and the vastness of the beach. You can relax in the majestic Thaulle Infinity Pool or participate in yoga classes offered there. Those who are active will also enjoy swimming, surfing, or diving in the sea (seasonal).

Location & Surroundings

The small town of Tissamaharama, the former capital of the Sinhalese Kingdom of Ruhuna, is located just about 3 miles away. The pilgrimage town of Kataragama, home to significant Buddhist sanctuaries and temples, is approximately 15.5 miles away and, along with Yala National Park (about 8.7 miles), known for its large population of leopards, makes for an intriguing excursion destination.

Dining & Leisure

Enjoy Ayurvedic meals tailored to your dosha from the buffet while overlooking the lake. The restaurant spans two floors; breakfast and lunch are served upstairs, while dinner is enjoyed downstairs and in the garden by candlelight. Fruits, vegetables, and herbs are sourced from the resort's own garden or locally, in line with the Green Philosophy, and fish and seafood come from Yoda Lake or the local fish market. Vegetarian, lactose-free, or gluten-free dishes are available upon request. The resort also offers weekly Ayurvedic cooking demonstrations using produce from its own organic farm, allowing you to bring a touch of Ayurveda into your own cooking.

Ayurveda Center

"The best feeling one can have [after a Panchakarma therapy] is: feeling oneself," says Dr. Upul, head of the clinic at Thaulle Pure Ayurveda Resort with over 20 years of experience and one of the best Ayurveda doctors in Sri Lanka. Dr. Upul comes from an Ayurveda family and combines traditional Ayurvedic medicine with his own developed treatment methods, also for more profound complaints and chronic diseases.

The personalized Ayurveda (Panchakarma) therapies are conducted under the supervision of the renowned chief physician with a professional team of therapists. The 6 therapy rooms are uniformly equipped with shower/WC/herbal bath, inhalation, and massage table, and are only left for treatments in the Ayurvedic steam baths. Thaulle has an Ayurveda pharmacy with certified Ayurveda medicines and a separate garden area for resting by the lake after treatments. Most of the medicinal herbs and plants used are grown here. Acupuncture available on request (for a fee). English-speaking care is available, Western doctor on call. Feel free to read a detailed interview with Dr. Upul in the PDF shown below.

Yoga

Daily yoga (mainly Hatha, also Karma, Bhakti, and Raja) takes place in the yoga hall on the top floor with panoramic views.

Thaulle Indications

In addition to the desire for detoxification, cleansing, and stress reduction, the center also addresses more profound complaints and chronic diseases. These include allergies of all kinds, bronchitis, arthritis, digestive system diseases, high blood pressure, joint pain.

Free Time

Relax by the spacious lakeside outdoor pool or in one of the many secluded spots in the garden. Fitness enthusiasts can use the gym equipped with bikes, treadmills, and rowing machines, or enjoy a guided tour through the fruit, vegetable, and herb garden.

Bike rental is included, ideal for trips to the private section at Kirinda Beach with a new pool right by the sea (shuttle available on request, approx. €4, payable locally). The beach is also perfect for diving. Traditional markets about 6 km away, highly recommended is the bustling market in Tissa. The hotel also offers excursions, for example, to Tissamaharama with the Tissa Wewa Lake, safaris in Yala National Park (about 14 km), to Sithulpawwa Rock Temple, Kataragama and much more (at a charge).

My first experience with Ayurveda was very positive. The treatments were very good for me and were carried out professionally. The hotel is in an idyllic location by a lake and you can hear the birds chirping. The recreational value of the vacation was very high.
