Villa My Way sits in lush greenery outside Ahangama, close enough to the beach and the village to walk in, far enough that you hear the jungle rather than traffic. The property is mostly single bungalows, with two additional rooms inside the main house. There is a tropical garden pool, a yoga shala/deck, a terrace, a garden, laundry, bicycle rental and free Wi-Fi throughout. Rooms have mosquito nets and hot water; the showers are solar-heated and, per the property, warm whenever the sun is out.

The daily rhythm is fixed but light. Herbal tea at 7:20, then a 7:30 morning session that mixes pranayama, yoga, qigong, stretching and meditation. Breakfast at 9:00. A short grounding session follows for anyone

evening session at 5:30 blending pranayama, yoga, qigong, stretching, sound healing and meditation,

.

Food is breakfast and dinner daily, cooked from fresh, organic ingredients and alternating between vegan, vegetarian and dishes with freshly caught local fish. The menu mixes Sri Lankan and Western cooking. Water, tea and coffee are available all day.

Ahangama itself is a surf town on the south coast. Nearby you can surf, stand-up paddleboard, cycle, swim, take a safari or watch wildlife, and there are cafés and restaurants with sea views close by. Airport pickup from Colombo can be arranged for around €62 per person, or a driver for roughly $70; the drive from Bandaranaike International Airport is about 166 km and takes 2 to 2½ hours.
