Thaulle Pure Ayurveda Resort in Detail

Your Ayurveda Resort

On the shores of the mystical Yoda Lake, near Yala National Park, Thaulle Pure Ayurveda Resort awaits you. "Thaulle" means "shore" in Sinhalese, and this feeling defines your stay: arrive, breathe deeply, and find yourself. This German-managed organic design hotel stands for authentic, medically supervised Adults-Only Ayurveda in a tranquil seclusion, deliberately away from mass tourism.

Living sustainability is an integral part of the hotel's philosophy and is certified with the TourCert certificate. At the 25-hectare Thaulle Eco Farm, just about 8 minutes away, you can plant your personal tree, help with the harvest, or simply marvel at what has been created. The private beach section at Kirinda Beach with an infinity pool right by the sea is approximately 12 minutes away.

Sustainability

The Thaulle is committed to this principle, for the benefit of both the environment and the guest. Energy is mostly 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, thus avoiding single-use items like plastic bottles or imported products.

Kirinda Beach

Just about 12 minutes away is the bright sandy Kirinda Beach with the private section of Thaulle Pure Ayurveda Resort. In the majestic Thaulle Infinity Pool, relax with a view of the vast sea or participate in yoga classes right on the beach. Active guests will enjoy swimming, surfing, or diving (seasonal). A complimentary shuttle takes you to the beach twice daily.

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, with 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. The drive from Colombo Airport takes about 3 hours 45 minutes, and from Mattala Airport, about 40 minutes.

Dining & Leisure

Enjoy Ayurvedic meals tailored to your dosha with a lake view from the buffet. 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 our own garden or locally, in line with our 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 our own Organic Farm, allowing you to bring a touch of Ayurveda into your own culinary creations.

Ayurveda Center

"The best feeling one can have after a Panchakarma therapy is: discovering oneself," says Dr. Upul, head of the clinic at Thaulle Pure Ayurveda Resort with over 30 years of experience. He has personally treated more than 40,000 guests with Ayurveda and is among the most esteemed Ayurveda doctors in Sri Lanka (D.S.A.M.S.). Coming from an Ayurveda family, he combines traditional Ayurvedic medicine with his own developed treatment methods, even for profound complaints and chronic diseases.

Alongside him, Dr. Irosha (B.A.M.S) takes care of our English-speaking guests. Thus, a genuine medical Ayurveda team supports your therapy in your language: Dr. Upul for German-speaking, Dr. Irosha for English-speaking guests. This is complemented by an experienced team of therapists and staff in the kitchen and service, accompanying you throughout your therapy.

The six therapy rooms are uniformly equipped with a shower/toilet, herbal bath, inhalation, and massage table, and are only left for treatments in the Ayurvedic steam baths. Thaulle has an Ayurveda pharmacy with certified medications and a separate garden area for resting by the lake, where most of the medicinal herbs and plants used are grown. Acupuncture is available upon request (for a fee). You are welcome to read an in-depth interview with Dr. Upul in the PDF shown below.

Yoga

Daily yoga sessions (primarily Hatha, as well as Karma, Bhakti, and Raja) take place in the yoga hall on the top floor with a panoramic view or at Kirinda Beach.

Your Weekly Programme

In addition to your daily treatments, an exciting weekly programme awaits you. These activities are included:

  • Monday: Ayurveda presentations
  • Tuesday: Excursion to Kataragama
  • Wednesday: Ayurveda cooking class
  • Thursday: Visit to the local vegetable market
  • Friday: Tree planting at our own farm
  • Saturday: Ayurveda meditations
  • Sunday: Visit to the local vegetable market

Thaulle Indications

In addition to the desire for detoxification, cleansing, and stress reduction, the resort also addresses deeper 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. Active guests can use the fitness area equipped with bikes, treadmills, and rowing machines, or enjoy a guided tour through the fruit, vegetable, and herb garden.

Bike rental is included, perfect for trips to the private section at Kirinda Beach with its infinity pool by the sea. A complimentary shuttle runs there twice daily. The beach is also ideal for diving. Traditional markets are about 6 km away, with the bustling market in Tissa highly recommended. The hotel also offers bookable excursions, e.g., to Tissamaharama with the Tissa Wewa Lake, safaris in Yala National Park (approx. 14 km), to the Sithulpawwa Rock Temple, or to Kataragama (at a charge).
