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

The Thaulle Resort is an oasis of well-being for everyone who needs a break from everyday life and wants to concentrate only on themselves. The concept of the Panchakarma cure is super implemented here. The doctor as well as the therapists and all other employees are considerate and very caring. The organization with treatments and leisure activities is very good. The food is mainly home grown and tastes very good. All in all, you have a very good recovery success here if you can adjust to the tranquility.
