Daily Ayurveda at Bentota, then a quiet beach
Ayurveda and wellness, 8 days is a private Sri Lanka tour by Majeste. It costs $1,165 per person for two at shoulder-season rates (for the hotels on this route, April and 1 November to 20 December), with comfort hotels, entrance tickets and your own car and English-speaking driver included. Prices checked 7 Nov 2026. In its best months, Nov to Apr, it costs $1,143 to $1,356 per person for two, depending on the start date. It stops at Bentota (Beruwala, Kalutara and Ahungalla), Tangalle (Rekawa and Hiriketiya), in that order. The longest drive is on day 8, from Tangalle to the airport, about 3 h 15 min. Nothing to pay now.
Five nights at Bentota, 1 hour 50 minutes from the airport, with a two-hour Ayurveda session each day after a consultation with the centre's doctor, a Madu River boat and a temple visit as gentle excursions, then two nights near Tangalle with a yoga day at Talalla. It is an entry-level wellness week, not a residential cure: the classic Panchakarma programmes run 7 to 14 nights at dedicated resorts with their own daily rates, and this tour does not include them. Ayurveda is a traditional wellness system; we do not present it as a cure for any condition. The west coast sea is calm from November to April.
About 1 hour 50 minutes by expressway to Bentota. Check in and a consultation with the Ayurvedic doctor, who sets the plan for the week; tell them about pregnancy, skin conditions and medication.
A two-hour session in the afternoon: herbal oil massage, steam bath and a head treatment. The morning is free for the beach or the river; the sea is rough from May to October and beach touts are part of the scene.
A two-hour boat through the Madu River mangroves and islands in the morning, 30 minutes down the coast. The afternoon session at the centre.
A morning visit to the Kande Vihara temple and its large seated Buddha, then the afternoon session. Geoffrey Bawa's Lunuganga garden is nearby and can be booked ahead.
A rest day: the beach or the river lagoon, which stays usable even when the sea is rough, and the afternoon session. A half day at Galle Fort, 1 hour 20 minutes each way, is the alternative.
About 2 hours 50 minutes south via Galle to the Tangalle coast, with a stop at Talalla Retreat for a day pass: a class in the open-air shala, a meal, the bathhouse and the pool. Tangalle's beaches are long and quiet; several have strong currents, so ask before swimming.
Nothing planned. The Kalametiya lagoon bird boat at dawn or the Rekawa turtle watch at night are the quiet extras here.
A slow morning on the beach. The airport is about 3 hours 15 minutes by expressway.

No. It is a hotel stay with a daily two-hour session at a centre. Residential cures at dedicated resorts run 7 to 14 nights with a doctor's programme, full board and a daily rate for treatments; they are not part of this tour, and we do not sell them.
It is priced as a published two-hour package from a marketplace listing, and once you book, your booking keeps that price.
Yes. Kandy has Ayurveda centres and cooler air and works all year; the airport drive is about 3 hours 15 minutes. Use Change the route or add days beside the price: the planner prices it before you book.
