Yoga, Travel & Ayurveda in Sri Lanka: An Adventure for the Soul

  • 15.8. - 27. 8. 2026

  • Balanced
  • Czech

A transformative journey from the emerald highlands to the golden shores of the Indian Ocean.

Embark on a soul-stirring expedition through the “Pearl of the Indian Ocean.” This 12-night odyssey is meticulously curated to bridge the serene solitude of the mountains with the rhythmic pulse of the sea.

Your journey begins at Yasmin Hill, a sanctuary of longevity tucked away in the clouds, where the air is pure and the spirit finds immediate rest.

Under the expert guidance of Petra Pilařová and Lucie Svobodová, you will transcend the boundaries of a typical holiday.

Through daily yoga, ancient rituals, and the healing touch of Ayurveda, we invite you to shed the weight of everyday stress and rediscover your inner equilibrium.

This is a rare opportunity to experience Sri Lanka not as a tourist, but as a seeker of peace, quality, and authentic connection.

  • 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.

    Check-in Time14:00
    Check-out Time11:00

    By Air & Private Transfer: The most convenient option. Yasmin Hill is a 3–3.5 hour drive from Colombo International Airport.

    • Concierge Tip: Send us your flight number, and our driver will await your arrival for a seamless door-to-door transfer.

    By Train: An adventurous alternative. Take the scenic train from Colombo to the historic city of Kandy (2.5–3 hours). From there, it is a short 30-minute ride by taxi or tuk-tuk to the resort.

    Location & Arrival: We are hidden in the hills of Thalathuoya (search “Yasmin Hill Longevity Oasis” in your GPS). As you ascend the winding mountain roads, prepare for stunning vistas. A warm welcome and full luggage assistance await you at the top.
