The traditional Sri Lankan wellness village experience - Ulpotha Retreat

Updated: Oct 10





In all our travels around Sri Lanka, we have never come across a place as special and unique as the private secret hideaway of Ulpotha.


Modeled after a traditional Sri Lankan village, with clay homes and communal spaces built in nature, Ulpotha is the kind of dream property where we envision spending the rest of our lives one day. However, it offers much more than just an ordinary Sri Lankan village experience. We've secured a special deal for those of you who support our channel when booking your stay at Ulpotha.



The pristine Ulpotha retreat is located in the north-central region of Sri Lanka, within the Cultural Triangle. It is only open to guests who have pre-booked one of the many two-week yoga retreats on offer. What sets this retreat apart is its ability to bring in some of the world's best yoga instructors for your practice. Additionally, it offers a range of massages, therapies, and Ayurvedic treatments, immersing you in the lifestyle of an authentic Sri Lankan village as it would have been a century ago.


During our one-week stay at Ulpotha (the required minimum stay is one week from Sunday to Sunday, although the owners encourage guests to join for the full two weeks of a yoga retreat for the complete experience), we came to realize the importance of disconnecting from our modern lives and embracing the calm, quaint, and romantic charm of village life.

think you won't be able to go vegetarian for a week, we are happy to inform you that he absolutely loved it and felt so much better after adopting such a healthy diet.
