I arrived in Sri Lanka not sure what to expect. I didn't really know what I was looking for but I found so much at this beautiful place that is Heritance Ayurveda Mahagedara. Due to the lockdown in Sri Lanka I just stayed at the hotel but it was enough to fall in love with this beautiful country and its people. The food is phenomenal - nutritious, tasty and so creative and divers. The treatments at the Ayurveda center make you feel like you are walking on clouds and the staff are the kindest and friendliest people I have met in a long time. If you want to be alone and take care of yourself without feeling lonely, this is the place to go. I left in total bliss and happiness, having found a wonderful piece of heaven.

I really enjoyed your place. Thanks for the healthy and delicious food. My health was in best hands, I got everyday different massage and people are very nice and helpful here. I totally recommend, I would love to come back :)

Amazing experience over New years. The hotel is amazing and the staff of the hotel & restaurant are doing an incredible job, the clinic is managed perfectly with super nice experienced doctors and therapists (they all go the extra mile). We will come again and stay longer next time; 11 days just passed so fast. Healthy regards, Sven

This is truly a very lovely Ayurveda retreat. The treatments are daily and focused. All the staff were very friendly and caring. Every meal was fresh, healthy and very tasty. Everyone I met there was happy with the service and some were repeated guests. We are also defiantly going back, for a longer stay.

Amazing stay. The staff was very helpful, caring and friendly. I think this place is the essence of ayurveda. It is based on 100% natural ingredients, giving healthy light food, taking care of guests holistically. Treatments scheduled great. The only thing that bothered me a bit was the age of the hotel, which was noticeable in the bathrooms and rooms. But other than that, the hotel designed to make you feel as calm and take care of your health as possible - Layout, fit into the terrain, surrounded by greenery. Yoga - great schedule 6.45 am 6 days/week and 5 pm also 6 days/week. Meditation sessions and other small activities in the evenings like live music.

Already been here twice, still efficient treatments and pleasant doctors who really take time for their patients. Highest recommendation. Due to the government really bad economic situation in the country at the moment (for example: price increase of bread - from 10 rupees to 115 rupees). Why not go to the city and buy from local merchants or get a suit tailored - the result will at least benefit both sides a little bit.

I have spent the last 2 weeks at this beautiful resort. Because it was my first Ayuveda trip and then to Sri Lanka, I was a bit unsure about the current situation in Sri Lanka. To all people who hesitate to book also because of this: Don't worry and book the trip! In the resort itself you didn’t feel something from the crisis and the staff are all very happy that you come and support them economically. Outside I only saw the long lines at the gas stations, but I never felt unsafe or anything like that at any time. The hotel itself offers excellent food, super dedicated and on the individual problems of one focused doctors, always friendly and partly even German-speaking waiters and super dear masseurs. The treatments were very relaxing, I usually had 4-6 treatments including acupuncture plus yoga in the morning and evening during the day. If you want to make an excursion outside such as a boat trip, a trip to the turtle rescue station or a tuk tuk ride with a safe driver, you can rely on the team of Mangul & Onil directly on the beach right. In conclusion, I can only say that it has helped me super to switch off and relax, as well as additionally lose some weight. Please do not hesitate to book the trip! I have rarely experienced such an eager staff in a hotel and I wish for them that quickly come back more guests to further boost the jobs and economy in the hotel.

Very nice hotel, like every one I was in the 3 months I spent in Sri Lanka. Nice rooms, very good food & nice staff! Recommend to 100%! 👉 I forgot something that is very important to me: the old gardener, whom nobody but me noticed & whom I gave some money for his existence, the one who put fresh flowers on the balcony table for me every day afterwards, that was in your hotel, not in the Palm Garden! It's not without reason that I still think of him so often! 💯 Like me, he was an "unseen", "a nothing"; I send him 1000 & 1 more 😜 lotus flowers that can ONLY grow & bloom in the dirt & mud! By the way, I was in Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 where there was supposedly war in the country and thousands of refugees came to Europe & of course Switzerland! But contrary to what was reported in the media, there was only war in the north of the country, in the other parts of the country Tamils ​​& Sinhalese worked, in every hotel where I was together!

Very Nice hotel and service. Location is perfectly on the beach. Hotel is comfortable and good facilities: pool and Gym. Food was amazing very good choice and super tasty. All the staff were very attentive. The Ayurveda treatment are excellent with 3-4 treatments a day. Best place to relax.

Had an incredible experience here in May. The property and location is absolutely beautiful and very peaceful - right on the beach and a secluded place. It is one of the Geoffrey Bawa designed places in Sri Lanka with great architectural style. They are taking very stringent COVID protocols, so everyone feels very safe during the stay. This was our first visit to Sri Lanka and first time doing an Ayurvedic experience and highly recommend this hotel. After getting our COVID results on the first day, we were able to use the pool, walk around the grounds, and go to the beach, as well as start our treatments. You have an initial consultation with the doctor, who goes over your medical history and goals for the experience and tailors a program for you. Each day, you take an assortment of treatments, as well as different herbal medicines and yoga several times per day. All of the treatments and facilities were great and we learned a lot during our stay. They recommend at least 7 days, preferably 14, so that you can have the full range of treatments, so we will plan to stay longer next time. It is a very holistic experience and the food they serve is really delicious and flavorful, also aligned with the Ayurvedic diet. The staff are extremely friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable and make you feel very welcomed. Leading up to our visit, Harshani and Janaka helped arrange all of the details and requirements, as part of the COVID protocols. Despite a very early morning arrival, we were greeted by Pramith, who took care of us during our stay. Lucky and Kumar taught us about the different foods at each meal and gave us recommendations on the various dishes. Dr. Yashitha and her team at the Ayurvedic center did an amazing job arranging all of our treatments and ensuring we got the most out of the experience. The yoga instructor, Mapa, is very knowledgeable and a great teacher. We were celebrating our 5th anniversary and Chef Rajith and his team even prepared a special meal for us, taking great care with all of the courses. The beach has very nice waves and the ocean temperature is perfect. The pool is also very nice and relaxing. We are already planning to go back and highly recommend this amazing paradise.

Very good food Excellent service. Specially Thanks Housekeeping Team. Very clean all the hotel.

Great location by the beach, great Ayurvedic food and some good treatments. The best about this resort was the food. Great chef and kitchen staff. The front office manager helped us in fixing the safe and meeting all our requests. The doctors were very good but the center staff need to be more organized. There were some mix ups in schedules due to poor coordination. The resort looks super fancy, with nice rooms and a big balcony. The place looked posh, but the service was a total letdown. We call the reception multiple times for help, they respond nicely but no one shows up, I.e. we reported that someone took our umbrella from the Ayuerveda center and asked for another 2 for my cousin and I. They said it’s a “procedure” not to give us 2 so we said ok. We waited for 2 days, called 4 times and never saw an umbrella. My cousin forgot the key inside the room. She walked 4 times to the reception and back to remind them she is waiting. Nobody showed up until I came and opened for her myself. We requested an iron twice and it didn’t come until I myself spoke to housekeeper who was outside. We requested a buggy that never came and we walked with heavy bags complained to the receptionist, who only shrugged her shoulders instead of offering help. I suggest to the management of this resort to train their staff and not only managers to offer a service that meets the promise of luxury. Else it is not.

An Ayurvedic experiment for me. The pool is fabulous, the grounds are lovely, it’s a great location right by the beach and a short tuk tuk ride to a main train station. I appreciate the serenity of the place and the absolutely delightful staff. But I didn’t really like the treatments, which for me were way too oily. And the food was disappointing, generally quite bland and note there is no red meat, seafood or cheese - which is stated on the website but in reality just means that the options alternate between chicken & fish (which was very “fishy” and not at all pleasant).

The most tranquil place with great hospitality thank you chef Rajith
