It’s Time for Sri Lanka- New Ayurvedic Journeys at Anantara Resorts

Making its way back to travel bucket lists as it reopens for business, the emerald island of Sri Lanka in the Indian Ocean is ready for its close-up. To remind the world’s globe-trotting community of the many wonders the destination has to offer, Anantara Kalutara Resort and Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle Resort are inviting travelers to dive into new experiences centered on the commanding presence of the ocean, spirituality and cultural pursuits.

Sheltered along Sri Lanka’s breathtaking southern coast, Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle Resort invites guests on a new three-day Sanjeewana Ayurvedic Journey to rediscover the elusive state of peace and develop the clarity needed to make healthier lifestyle choices. Following an in-depth consultation, guests will embark on an immersive program combining healing spa therapies, mind-cleaning beach walks with the resort’s Nature Guru, temple meditation and bonfire mindfulness sessions under the guidance of a monk and a yogi, as well as Sri Lankan cooking classes and soul-soothing wood-oven baking sessions.

Being Sri Lanka’s only five-star resort to offer exclusive experiences with luxury surf specialists, Tropicsurf, Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle is the perfect base for those looking for big-wave drops and sand-bottom beginner beaches alike, all within 15 minutes of the property. Guests can explore local marine life with SUP excursions in the lagoon, set off on a bicycle to bustling markets, join local turtle-watchers on beach patrols to protect hawksbill and leatherback nests, or follow Anantara’s Experience Guru into the maze of Tangalle’s streets to get a taste of local life.

A tropical hideaway shaped by the creative vision of renowned architect Geoffrey Bawa, Anantara Kalutara Resort is located only an hour from the Bandaranaike International Airport – perfect for those spontaneous weekend getaways. From this secluded beachfront setting at the confluence of the Kalu Ganga River and the Indian Ocean, travelers can visit Geoffrey Bawa’s legendary Lunuganga estate on the banks of Dedduwa lake in Bentota to wander through its enchanting garden blending the elements of Italian Renaissance gardens, English landscaping, Japanese garden art and ancient Serendib’s water gardens.
