My one week stay at Ulpotha was exactly what I was looking for: a gorgeous environment, a lovely group of people, and activities which were active, and meaningful (but all optional). I really appreciated the design of the space. Everything you need, in a beautifully simple design. In addition to a bit of swimming and leisurely biking, I had plenty... More

Walking the gently winding path from Ulpotha's entry I was overcome by a sense of calm that only deepened the longer I stayed. There is something profoundly healing, something that counters all the violence and senselessness of modern city living.

I stayed at Ulpotha for one week at the beginning of their winter season and it was just what I needed. Since returning, I've found it difficult to describe to friends what Ulpotha is exactly.

I have been to Ulpotha twice and I hope to go there again and again. The food is the best I've ever had and the atmosphere is incredibly healing. The lake is divine, and the yoga classes, ayurvedic treatments give you the true meaning of good health. More

The traditional working Sri Lankan village is in a stunning location that is nothing... More

Ulpotha is a magical place. It is meant to be basic living in nature, eco friendly, an escape from the city but it was all this and more. The rooms were simple mud huts, breezy, comfortable and you sleep and wake as nature intended. Daily yoga and ayuveda treatments were second to none and the food was simply delicious!! Ulpotha...

I have stayed in Ulpotha for a Yoga Retreat and an Ayurvedic Treatment for the first week of August. This is heaven on earth. Where you swim with the fishes in the silky lake, take your shower watching the monkeys, eat the amazing fresh vegetarian food, have the massages of a lifetime and renew your self mindfully and physically.

You have to be prepared to go here, and be ready to really embrace the lifestyle. A five star resort it is not. Fantastic food. Great Ayurvedic treatments. Great wildlife around...too much for some. Beautiful butterflies, dragon flies. Some fantastic views to take in. You get a lot out of removing yourself from a city existence and experiencing this more... More
