Sen Wellness Sanctuary
Sri Lanka, Indian SubcontinentSen Wellness Sanctuary in Sri Lanka was dreamed up by renowned Osteopath Sam Kankanamge, who sought to build a universal space that stimulates and creates new possibilities and growth for all those who visit, including both international guests and local communities. Voted one of the top 20 best yoga retreats in the world by The Times, the sanctuary provides a nurturing, healing experience and personalised support for all its guests. It seeks to help visitors self-realise and reach their full inner potential, precipitating wellness and happiness for all.
Knowing nature is the biggest healer, you will quickly feel the calming and invigorating effects of the surrounding nature reserve. The property specialises in personalised retreats that combine guiding yoga with world-class osteopathic treatments, local therapists, exceptional chefs and expert Ayurvedic doctors. Here you can take the time for self care, to address your issues of the mind, body and spirit as you practice yoga in the gorgeous Yoga Shala, overlooking verdant treetops and feel the refreshing sea breeze.
A unique blend of self-empowering yoga practice and osteopathic healing will promote spiritual growth and physical health. Sen Wellness seeks to help guests get well and stay well, so their range of treatments aims to address the entire individual.

Cabanas
Designed and built with sensitivity to the natural surroundings and land, the cabanas are reached by a raised wooden walkway that offers glimpses of a rich array of birds and wildlife among the trees. Rooms are artfully furnished with natural materials and locally crafted items.
The cabanas offer the luxury of being surrounded by nature, with framed views of a tropical forest through the trees in a comfortable and private space of your own. The natural and minimal design of the bathrooms celebrates the skilful craftsmanship of local artisans using the very best of local materials.
Your stay at Sen Wellness Sanctuary begins with a diagnostic consultation from the in-house Ayurvedic Doctor to determine your Dosha or body constitution. After the diagnosis, a course of daily treatments is tailormade for the individual. These treatments include lots of oil-based massages (full body, head, shoulder, hand, foot), herbal pouches, body scrubs, steams, herbal inhalations, face masks and shirodhara. Other beneficial treatments available include a healing gong bath, acupuncture meditation, osteopathy and sound healing.
Food at the Sanctuary is predominantly vegetarian and contains no dairy and very little wheat. They occasionally serve fish, but only when it has been freshly caught by the local fishermen. They don’t serve coffee or alcohol, which helps to cleanse the system and works in harmony with the treatments they offer. Sen believe that community and human connection are essential for wellbeing, and so their three buffet style meals are eaten communally each day.
