4-Day Yoga and Wellness Retreat on the Sri Lankan Coast

This retreat is based at YogaBee, a small boutique property run by Danushka and his team in the Bentota area of Sri Lanka. With only four rooms and a maximum of eight guests, the atmosphere is personal. You'll be greeted by name, and the schedule adjusts to your energy levels. Mornings start with a dynamic yoga session on the deck, evenings wind down with a more relaxing practice focused on stretching and breathing.

Danushka has a 500-hour Yoga Alliance certification and trained in India at Raj Yoga Rishikesh and Sivananda Yoga Ashram in Kerala. Before setting up his own retreat in Sri Lanka, he taught for over a decade as resident yogi at a five-star resort in the Maldives. His teaching is attentive and adaptive — several past guests mention how he helped them work through fears like headstands, and how sessions never feel rushed or generic.

The location is a real highlight. Bentota is famous for its long sandy beaches and calm lagoon, and the retreat is close enough to the beach that you can easily walk or take the free tuk-tuk shuttle. You'll also have free access to sun loungers at a nearby beach spot. The team can arrange excursions like temple visits, a turtle farm trip, or a cooking class, depending on the group and the weather.

Each day includes breakfast and dinner, with lunch available as an optional extra. The food is a big part of the experience — guests consistently rate it highly, and the curries get special mentions. There's also a massage room on site, and guests receive a massage foam application after yoga sessions as part of the package.

Guests come here to slow down. Many are solo travellers, some are couples, and there's a mix of ages. The reviews repeatedly mention how relaxed and well-looked-after people feel during their stay. It's a simple, warm, and friendly place to reset — no schedules packed with activities, just good yoga, good food, and time to yourself.
