8 Day Summer Retreat At Ulpotha Sri Lanka’s Original Yoga Retreat
Make an Enquiry About:
A week in Ulpotha, the working village that started Sri Lanka's retreat story
Ulpotha isn’t a resort with a yoga shala attached — it’s a functioning traditional village in central Sri Lanka that has hosted retreat guests longer than anywhere else on the island, which is why it’s often called the country’s original yoga retreat. This seven-night summer stay includes daily yoga classes with visiting international teachers, three meals a day built on produce grown within the village itself, and free excursions to sites of interest nearby. Ayurveda is part of village life and treatments (including full panchakarma programmes) are available, though billed separately. Groups run from six to twenty-five guests and all levels are welcome. With a 4.93 rating across 166 reviews — one of the deepest review records of any retreat we list — and a price of $1,703 for the week, this is a bucket-list stay with the track record to justify it.

About Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka, officially known as the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka, is an island country located in South Asia. It is situated in the Indian Ocean and is known for its rich history, diverse culture, stunning landscapes, and warm hospitality. Sri Lanka has also been influenced by Indian, Arab, European, and Southeast Asian cultures, which created a unique blend of customs, languages, and cuisines. The capital of Sri Lanka is Colombo, situated on the west coast of the island. It is a bustling metropolis with a mix of modern infrastructure and colonial-era buildings. Other major cities include Kandy, Galle, Jaffna, and Trincomalee, each offering its own unique spots and historical sites. Tourism plays a significant role in Sri Lanka's economy, as the country offers a wide range of attractions for visitors. From ancient ruins such as Sigiriya Rock Fortress and Polonnaruwa to picturesque tea plantations in the central highlands, wildlife safaris in national parks, and the coastlines, there is something for every traveler in Sri Lanka.
