Small Group Yoga & Wellness Retreat in Bentota, Sri Lanka

The retreat takes place at YogaBee, a boutique property surrounded by tropical greenery near Bentota's famous beaches. With only four rooms and a maximum of eight guests, the experience is deliberately intimate. Danushka, your host and lead teacher, has over 20 years of practice and a 500-hour Yoga Alliance certification, having trained in India and taught for a decade at a five-star Maldivian resort. His teaching is adaptive — he watches how you move and adjusts each session on the spot, so whether you're new to yoga or have been practicing for years, you'll be guided at your own level. Mornings begin with an energizing yoga and meditation session held on the open-air deck, followed by a breakfast of fresh fruit, smoothie bowls, and local dishes. Late morning is free for the beach — the retreat runs a free tuk-tuk shuttle to Bentota Beach, where loungers are set up for you. Afternoons are open for optional activities: a massage, a cooking class, a river tour, a temple visit, or just quiet time by the garden. As the day cools, an evening yoga class focuses on deep stretching and relaxation, and the day wraps with a communal dinner where you share Sri Lankan curries and stories with fellow guests. The program is structured but not rigid; it's your retreat, and the team is happy to tailor activities to what you feel like doing. What sets this retreat apart is the genuine care woven through every detail — Danushka will know your name from day one, and he's as likely to be your tuk-tuk driver to the beach as he is to lead your yoga class. Guests repeatedly mention how attentive and welcoming the hosting is, and how the food — especially the curries — is a highlight of the stay. This is a retreat for anyone who wants to unplug, get personal guidance, connect with nature, and eat incredibly well.
