Ypsylon Resort in Detail

Your Ayurveda Resort

Nestled amidst approximately 5 hectares of enchanting flora and fauna, directly on a 200m wide private cove (sandy beach seasonal), lies the idyllic and tranquil Ypsylon Resort. The deliberately low-rise architecture blends seamlessly into the landscape. The family-run Ypsylon, with its seasonal diving school, is also deeply committed to environmental protection. Autonomous self-sufficiency, waste separation/recycling, energy production/saving, and resource recovery are prioritised in a specially designated "environmental zone" near the resort. These initiatives are unique in Sri Lanka and are supported by the government.

Location & Surroundings

Beruwela is one of the oldest cities on the west coast of Sri Lanka, where a lighthouse built by colonial powers stands on a small island in front of the harbour. The reef extending from it protects the miles-long sandy beach up to the Bentota River.

Restaurants

Adjacent to the exclusive Ayurveda Center, reserved for Ayurveda guests, is the Ayurveda Pavilion with an open buffet. The day begins with a "Nature Smile Smoothie", while lunch and dinner feature traditional Ayurvedic cuisine, varied, low-calorie, vegetarian, blended with local sides. Lean white fish or chicken available upon request.

A public à la carte restaurant offering national and international dishes is located at the front of the facility. Many herbs and ingredients are sourced from our own cultivation.

Ayurveda Center

The Ayurveda Center, located in the garden area of the resort, is led by experienced Ayurvedic doctors. You will be greeted by a skilled and trained team of therapists, multiple treatment rooms for Shirodhara, oil massages, baths, acupuncture, an Ayurvedic steam bath, and a herbal sauna. Additionally, therapy-supportive yoga and meditation sessions are available upon request (approximately 10€ (approx. UK £9 / USD $11) per hour). Handmade herbal-based natural medicine is used, following traditional Ayurvedic recipes.

Free Time

The pool is located in the garden, surrounded by exotic greenery. The sheltered bay invites you to swim (seasonal). The resort offers its own diving school (seasonal), table tennis, and beach volleyball. There are numerous cultural and sporting excursion opportunities, such as the weekly market in Aluthgama, Cinnamon Island, and a river cruise on the Bentota River (bookable on site). Sri Lanka alone boasts 8 UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Great little resort

as a couple | 50 to 59 years | Longer than 23 days

Small resort run by Germans. Fantastic doctor and a fantastic team of therapists. Situated in a very beautiful tropical garden, directly on the beach. Small beautiful swimming pool. Authentic Ayurvedic food. We were there for four weeks and never got bored of the food. Many excursion possibilities if required.

Fantastic trip that far exceeded my expectations.

I had opted for an Ayurveda Panchakarma retreat in Sri Lanka. Everything went like clockwork. From the pick-up at the airport to the arrival at the hotel to the departure. I am simply thrilled and can very well imagine booking this trip again.

The purpose of the trip was fulfilled and it was certainly not the last Ayurveda vacation
