A quiet sanctuary where ancient wisdom meets modern life, this retreat invites you to restore inner balance through Dhamma and Ayurveda.
Set at Yasmin Hill, it offers a rare chance to learn with MC Brigitte, a Buddhist nun with more than 30 years of teaching experience. Designed as a meaningful bridge between tradition and contemporary living, the retreat encourages you to step away from external noise and reconnect with your deeper self.
Against the misty highlands of Kandy, you will move through a nourishing rhythm of daily meditation, Dhamma talks, and the healing support of Ayurveda. Whether your intention is to strengthen your spiritual practice or simply find space to breathe, this retreat provides guidance, stillness, and a supportive environment for renewal.
The program is designed to make the most of your time with the instructor while also honoring the body’s need for rest. Each day blends workshops, movement, and quiet moments into a gentle and balanced flow.
Morning: Noble silence until midday, followed by morning meditation, yoga, and a mindful breakfast to center the day.
Midday: Dhamma talks with MC Brigitte, then a nourishing Ayurvedic lunch.
Afternoon: Time for Ayurvedic treatments, private consultations, or peaceful walks through the gardens.
Evening: Group meditation and chanting, a light dinner, and a restful transition into the night.
Note: The schedule may shift slightly depending on the group’s energy and weather conditions.
This retreat supports mental and spiritual alignment, while Ayurveda can further support the body. If you wish to deepen the experience, the available therapies may help with muscle recovery after practice or support detox through a lymphatic flush.
Located in the tropical highlands of the ancient Kandyan Kingdom, Yasmin Hill is more than a resort — it is a secluded haven of silence. Set on a lush hillside in Moragolla, it overlooks a valley of untouched emerald-green landscape.
The air is rich with oxygen, the sounds are entirely natural, and the horizon feels wide open. Far enough from the city to ensure complete tranquility, yet rooted in the spiritual heart of Sri Lanka, this setting invites the nervous system to soften and exhale.
Choose from Superior, Deluxe, or spacious Suite accommodations, each created to blend indoor comfort with outdoor serenity. Ground-floor rooms open onto private terraces, while first-floor rooms feature breezy balconies, both with designer seating for relaxation.
To support a natural circadian rhythm, the rooms use bio-climatic natural ventilation instead of artificial air-conditioning, allowing fresh, oxygen-rich air and comfortable temperatures 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 those seeking a complete digital detox, the Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas rooms are intentionally TV-free.
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, and the driver will be ready to meet you for a smooth door-to-door transfer.
By Train: A scenic alternative. Take the train from Colombo to Kandy, a journey of about 2.5–3 hours. From there, it is a short 30-minute taxi or tuk-tuk ride to the resort.
Location & Arrival: Hidden in the hills of Thalathuoya, the property can be found by searching “Yasmin Hill Longevity Oasis” in your GPS. As you travel up the winding mountain road, panoramic views await, along with a warm welcome and luggage assistance at the top.
