Ypsylon Resort in detail

Hotel

Set amid around 5 hectares of enchanting flora and fauna, right beside a 200 m-wide private bay (with a sandy beach seasonally), the peaceful, idyllic grounds of Ypsylon Resort offer a tranquil retreat. Its deliberately low-rise design blends seamlessly into the landscape. The family-run Ypsylon, which has a seasonally open diving school, is also strongly committed to environmental protection. Self-sufficiency, waste separation and recycling, energy generation and conservation, and resource recovery are priorities in a dedicated “environmental zone” close to the resort. These measures are unique in Sri Lanka and receive the government’s support.

Location & Surroundings

Beruwela is one of the oldest towns on Sri Lanka’s west coast. Just offshore from its harbour, a lighthouse built during the colonial era stands on a small island. The reef extending from the island protects the long sandy beach all the way to the Bentota River.

Food & Drink

Next to the Ayurveda centre, reserved exclusively for Ayurveda guests, the Ayurveda pavilion serves an open buffet. The day begins with a “Nature Smile Smoothie”, followed at lunchtime and in the evening by varied, low-calorie traditional Ayurvedic cuisine, served with local side dishes. Lean white fish or chicken is available on request.

A public à la carte restaurant serving national and international dishes is located at the front of the resort. Many of the herbs and ingredients come from the resort’s own gardens.

Health & Cures

The Ayurveda centre is set in the resort gardens and is run by experienced Ayurveda doctors. A skilled, qualified team of therapists is on hand, with several treatment rooms for Shirodhara, oil massages, baths and acupuncture, as well as an Ayurvedic steam bath and a herbal sauna. Yoga to complement your treatment programme is also available, along with meditation on request (approximately €10 per hour). The centre uses handmade, herbal natural remedies prepared according to traditional Ayurvedic recipes.

Leisure

The pool is set in the garden, surrounded by lush tropical greenery. The sheltered bay is ideal for swimming (seasonally). The resort also has its own dive school (seasonal), as well as table tennis and beach volleyball. There are plenty of cultural and sporting excursions to enjoy, including the weekly market in Aluthgama, Cinnamon Island and a boat trip along the Bentota River (bookable locally). Sri Lanka is home to eight UNESCO sites.

Hotel rooms at a glance

Set among tropical gardens, 36 spacious double rooms (approx. 25–38 sqm) are spread across several charming two-storey buildings and are also available for single occupancy. Choose from thoughtfully designed “Eco” wooden cottages, built specifically for Ayurveda guests and located around the pool, close to the Ayurveda centre, or stylish comfort rooms overlooking the greenery, with partial or direct sea views. Both room types have a simple, uncluttered design: tiled floors, a shower, WC and bidet, mosquito nets, ceiling fans, individually controlled air conditioning, a safe, and a balcony or terrace create a peaceful retreat where you can unwind and take a breath. The comfort rooms also feature either a colonial-style four-poster bed or twin beds. Wi-Fi is available throughout. Three newly renovated sea-view rooms with upgraded furnishings are also available on request (supplement of €25 per room per night).

A much-appreciated treatment that brought rest to both mind and body. For a first Ayurvedic experience, it was a success. Many thanks to the hotel and therapy teams.

A thoroughly enjoyable holiday

Absolutely great value for money. Incredible how wonderful the hotel’s staff are. Everyone was available at any time and incredibly friendly. We had a lovely time and flew back to Germany feeling very well rested after our first Ayurveda holiday. The rooms are as described: simple, clean and practical. The food, served three times a day, was really good and tasty. The daily treatments were absolutely top-notch, lasting two hours, with additional appointments on some days. We’re very satisfied! Thank you for this wonderful holiday.
