Thaulle Pure Ayurveda Resort in detail

Hotel

On the shores of mystical Yoda Lake, not far from Yala National Park, Thaulle Pure Ayurveda Resort awaits. “Thaulle” means “shore” in Sinhala, and this feeling shapes your stay: arrive, take a deep breath and reconnect with yourself. This organically designed hotel offers authentic, doctor-supervised Ayurveda for adults only, in a peaceful setting away from mass tourism.

Sustainability is an integral part of the hotel’s philosophy, recognised with TourCert certification. At Thaulle Eco Farm, a 25-hectare farm about 8 minutes away, you can plant your own tree, help with the harvest or simply admire what has been created here. The resort’s private section of Kirinda Beach, with an infinity pool right by the sea, is around 12 minutes away.

Sustainability

Thaulle Resort (Pvt) Ltd. is committed to this ethos, for the benefit of both the environment and its guests. Most energy comes from renewable sources, generated on site using biogas and solar power. Vegetables, fruit, herbs and spices, as well as all the flowers used for decoration, are grown on site. To support the local community, the resort gives preference to local staff and craftspeople, and uses local materials and products, helping to avoid single-use items such as plastic bottles and imported goods.

Kirinda Beach

Just around 12 minutes away, the golden sands of Kirinda Beach include the private section belonging to Thaulle Pure Ayurveda Resort. Unwind in the elegant Thaulle Infinity Pool, with views stretching out across the sea, or join a yoga session right on the beach. Active guests can enjoy swimming, surfing or diving (seasonal). A complimentary shuttle takes you to the beach twice a day.

Location & Surroundings

The small town of Tissamaharama, once the capital of the Sinhalese kingdom of Ruhuna, is just around 5 km away. The pilgrimage town of Kataragama, with its important Buddhist shrines and temples, is approximately 25 km away. Along with Yala National Park (around 14 km away), renowned for its large leopard population, it makes an interesting destination for excursions. The journey takes around 3 hours 45 minutes from Colombo Airport (CMB) and around 40 minutes from Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport (HRI).

Food & Drink

Enjoy Ayurvedic meals prepared according to your dosha, served buffet-style with views of the lake. The restaurant is spread over two floors: breakfast and lunch are served upstairs, while dinner is served downstairs and in the garden by candlelight. In keeping with the Green Philosophy, fruit, vegetables and herbs come from the resort’s own garden or the local area, while fish and seafood are sourced from Yoda Lake or the local fish market. Vegetarian, lactose-free or gluten-free dishes are also available on request. Each week, the resort hosts Ayurvedic cooking demonstrations using produce from its own organic farm, giving you inspiration to bring a touch of Ayurveda to your own cooking.

Health & Cures

“The best thing you can feel after a Panchakarma treatment programme is yourself,” says Dr Upul, head of the clinic at Thaulle Pure Ayurveda Resort, with over 30 years’ experience. He has personally treated more than 40,000 guests with Ayurveda and is one of Sri Lanka’s most renowned Ayurvedic doctors (D.S.A.M.S.). Coming from an Ayurvedic family, he combines traditional Ayurvedic medicine with treatment methods he has developed himself, including for serious complaints and chronic conditions.

Dr Irosha (B.A.M.S.) looks after our English-speaking guests alongside him. This means your treatment programme is supported by a dedicated medical Ayurveda team: Dr Upul for German-speaking guests and Dr Irosha for English-speaking guests. They are supported by an experienced team of therapists, kitchen staff and service staff, who accompany you throughout your programme.

All six therapy rooms are equipped with a shower and toilet, herbal bath, inhalation facilities and a massage table. You only need to leave your room for treatments in the Ayurvedic steam baths. Thaulle has an Ayurvedic pharmacy stocked with certified medicines, as well as a separate garden area by the lake where you can rest after treatments. Most of the medicinal herbs and plants used at the resort also grow here. Acupuncture is available on request (at an additional cost). You can read an in-depth interview with Dr Upul in the PDF below.

Yoga

Daily yoga, mainly Hatha as well as Karma, Bhakti and Raja, takes place in the rooftop yoga hall with panoramic views or at Kirinda Beach.

Your Weekly Programme

Alongside your daily treatments, a varied weekly programme awaits. These activities are included:

Monday: Ayurveda presentations
Tuesday: Excursion to Kataragama
Wednesday: Ayurvedic cookery class
Thursday: Visit to the local vegetable market
Friday: Plant a tree on the resort’s own farm
Saturday: Ayurvedic meditation sessions
Sunday: Visit to the local vegetable market

Thaulle Indications

Alongside supporting detoxification, cleansing and stress reduction, the programme also addresses more serious complaints and chronic conditions. These include allergies of all kinds, bronchitis, arthritis, digestive disorders, high blood pressure and joint pain.

Leisure

Relax by the spacious outdoor pool overlooking the lake or in one of the garden’s many secluded corners. Those looking to stay active can use the fitness area, equipped with a bicycle, treadmill and rowing machine, or join an expert guided tour of the fruit, vegetable and herb garden.

Bicycle hire is included, making it easy to cycle to the private section of Kirinda Beach, where an infinity pool sits right by the sea. The complimentary shuttle runs there twice a day. The beach is also ideal for diving. Traditional markets are about 6 km away; the lively market in Tissa is particularly worth a visit. Excursions can also be booked through the hotel, including trips to Tissamaharama and Lake Tissa Wewa, safaris in Yala National Park (about 14 km), the rock temple of Sithulpawwa and Kataragama (charges apply).

I had a wonderful stay at the Thaulle Resort, and the Ayur-Yoga retreat was exactly what I needed to reconnect with myself. The staff are incredibly warm and attentive, the service is excellent, the rooms are beautiful and clean, and the food was delicious every day (& vegan-approved)!

The surroundings and countryside were wonderful. Nature was right on our doorstep, with lots of animals. So relaxing. The resort was clean, very stylishly furnished, beautiful and spacious. The rooms were large and big. The staff were so incredibly attentive and friendly; we were pampered. The chef was lovely and always available. We felt very comfortable. The daily treatments were lovely and did us a lot of good. Highly recommended. We’ll be back!
