A soul-stirring journey from Sri Lanka’s emerald highlands to the golden edge of the Indian Ocean.

Discover the “Pearl of the Indian Ocean” through a carefully designed 12-night retreat that connects the stillness of the mountains with the rhythm of the sea. This experience begins at Yasmin Hill, a longevity sanctuary set high in the clouds, where pure air and quiet surroundings invite immediate rest.

Guided by Petra Pilařová and Lucie Svobodová, this is far more than a holiday. Each day blends yoga, ancient rituals, and Ayurveda to help you release stress, restore balance, and return to yourself.

Rather than seeing Sri Lanka as a tourist, you are invited to experience it as a seeker of peace, quality, and genuine connection.

Amplify Your Results

Let the retreat support the mind, and let Ayurveda care for the body. While the group program is centered on mental and spiritual alignment, targeted therapies are available to deepen the experience. Whether you need muscle recovery after practice or a lymphatic flush to support detox, the full treatment menu is there to enhance your stay.

Environment as Medicine

Set in the tropical highlands of the ancient Kandyan Kingdom, Yasmin Hill is more than a resort — it is a secluded haven of silence. Located on a lush hillside in Moragolla, it overlooks an untouched emerald valley.

The air is rich with oxygen, the sounds are entirely natural, and the views stretch endlessly ahead. Far enough from the city to ensure complete tranquility, yet rooted in the spiritual heart of Sri Lanka, this landscape gives the nervous system room to finally exhale.

Accommodation Designed for Deep Rest

Choose from Superior, Deluxe, or spacious Suite accommodations, each created to balance indoor comfort with outdoor serenity. Ground-floor rooms open onto private terraces, while first-floor rooms feature airy balconies, both with designer seating for relaxation.

To support your natural circadian rhythm, the rooms use bio-climatic natural ventilation instead of air-conditioning, bringing in fresh, oxygen-rich air for restorative sleep.

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

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

Check-in Time 14:00

Check-out Time 11:00

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

Concierge Tip: Share your flight number so the driver can be ready for a smooth door-to-door transfer.

By Train: A scenic alternative. Take the train from Colombo to Kandy, which takes 2.5–3 hours, then continue by taxi or tuk-tuk for about 30 minutes.

Location & Arrival: Hidden in the hills of Thalathuoya, search for “Yasmin Hill Longevity Oasis” in your GPS. As you climb the mountain roads, expect beautiful views and a warm welcome with full luggage assistance at the top.
