  • Czech

Walk through fire, release the old, and step into your ultimate potential amidst mountains and oceans.

Celebrate the turning of the year with an extraordinary, high-vibrational journey designed to shift your perception of what is possible. This exclusive New Year’s retreat is a masterfully balanced split-stay, taking you from the mystical clouds of the central highlands straight to the sun-drenched shores of the Indian Ocean.

Your experience begins at Yasmin Hill Longevity Oasis, where the mountain air prepares your body and mind for absolute renewal. Here, you will experience deeply transformative rituals, including a sacred Swami blessing, a prosperity ceremony, and the ultimate ritual of walking across hot coals. Guided by experienced mentors and inspired by personal growth screenings, this retreat is an invitation to burn away your limiting beliefs, anchor your future intentions, and step into the new year fully alive, expanded, and free.

  • Nestled in the tropical highlands of the ancient Kandyan Kingdom, Yasmin Hill is more than a resort—it is a hidden enclave of silence. Perched on a lush hillside in Moragolla, our sanctuary overlooks a valley of untouched emerald green.

    Here, the air is oxygen-rich, the sounds are purely natural, and the horizon is endless. We are far enough from the city to ensure absolute tranquility, yet rooted deeply in the spiritual heart of Sri Lanka. This is a landscape that invites your nervous system to finally exhale.

    Choose from our Superior, Deluxe, or spacious Suite accommodations, each designed to blur the line between indoor comfort and outdoor serenity. Ground-floor rooms open onto private terraces, while first-floor sanctuaries feature breezy balconies—both furnished with designer seating for your relaxation.

    To support your natural circadian rhythm, our rooms utilize bio-climatic natural ventilation instead of artificial air-conditioning, ensuring fresh, oxygen-rich air and pleasant temperatures for restorative sleep.

    Amenities: High-speed WiFi, personal safe, minibar, and organic Ayurvedic toiletries. Enjoy complimentary herbal tea and coffee stations in every room.

    Note: For a complete digital detox, our Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas rooms are intentionally TV-free.

    World Record Holder, Mindset Alchemist & Firewalking Master

    Joska is a living testament to the limitless potential of the human spirit. A certified world record holder for the fastest barefoot half-marathon on snow and ice, and a national record holder in the plank position, his life is a blueprint for shifting physical and mental boundaries beyond imagination. Having overcome severe personal crises, chronic illness, and even surviving a grueling, mistaken two-month imprisonment in the UAE under Sharia law, Joska mastered the art of maintaining a victorious mind in the darkest conditions. Since 2013, he has guided thousands of people across hot coals and broken glass, using firewalking as a tangible tool to dissolve deep-seated fears and amplify self-confidence. He does not just lecture on personal development; he radiates an authentic, lived experience that inspires everyone in his presence to rise, transform, and realize that everything is possible.
