You can opt out of allowing us to collect this information either by refusing access to the information or by disabling your Location setting on your device. However, if you choose to opt out, you may not be able to use certain aspects of the Services.

3. WHAT LEGAL BASES DO WE RELY ON TO PROCESS YOUR INFORMATION?
In Short: We only process your personal information when we believe it is necessary and we have a valid legal reason (i.e. legal basis) to do so under applicable law, like with your consent, to comply with laws, to provide you with services to enter into or fulfil our contractual obligations, to protect your rights, or to fulfil our legitimate business interests.
If you are located in the EU or UK, this section applies to you.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR require us to explain the valid legal bases we rely on in order to process your personal information. As such, we may rely on the following legal bases to process your personal information:
- Consent. We may process your information if you have given us permission (i.e. consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose. You can withdraw your consent at any time. Learn more about withdrawing your consent.
- Performance of a Contract. We may process your personal information when we believe it is necessary to fulfil our contractual obligations to you, including providing our Services or at your request prior to entering into a contract with you.
- Legitimate Interests. We may process your information when we believe it is reasonably necessary to achieve our legitimate business interests and those interests do not outweigh your interests and fundamental rights and freedoms. For example, we may process your personal information for some of the purposes described in order to:
- Send users information about special offers and discounts on our products and services
- Develop and display personalised and relevant advertising content for our users
- Analyse how our Services are used so we can improve them to engage and retain users
- Support our marketing activities
- Diagnose problems and/or prevent fraudulent activities
- Understand how our users use our products and services so we can improve user experience
- Legal Obligations. We may process your information where we believe it is necessary for compliance with our legal obligations, such as to cooperate with a law enforcement body or regulatory agency, exercise or defend our legal rights, or disclose your information as evidence in litigation in which we are involved.
- Vital Interests. We may process your information where we believe it is necessary to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of a third party, such as situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person.
In legal terms, we are generally the ‚data controller‘ under European data protection laws of the personal information described in this privacy notice, since we determine the means and/or purposes of the data processing we perform. This privacy notice does not apply to the personal information we process as a ‚data processor‘ on behalf of our customers. In those situations, the customer that we provide services to and with whom we have entered into a data processing agreement is the ‚data controller‘ responsible for your personal information, and we merely process your information on their behalf in accordance with your instructions. If you want to know more about our customers‘ privacy practices, you should read their privacy policies and direct any questions you have to them.
If you are located in Canada, this section applies to you.
We may process your information if you have given us specific permission (i.e. express consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose, or in situations where your permission can be inferred (i.e. implied consent). You can withdraw your consent at any time.
In some exceptional cases, we may be legally permitted under applicable law to process your information without your consent, including, for example:
- If collection is clearly in the interests of an individual and consent cannot be obtained in a timely way
- For investigations and fraud detection and prevention
- For business transactions provided certain conditions are met
- If it is contained in a witness statement and the collection is necessary to assess, process, or settle an insurance claim
- For identifying injured, ill, or deceased persons and communicating with next of kin
- If we have reasonable grounds to believe an individual has been, is, or may be victim of financial abuse
- If it is reasonable to expect collection and use with consent would compromise the availability or the accuracy of the information and the collection is reasonable for purposes related to investigating a breach of an agreement or a contravention of the laws of Canada or a province
- If disclosure is required to comply with a subpoena, warrant, court order, or rules of the court relating to the production of records
- If it was produced by an individual in the course of their employment, business, or profession and the collection is consistent with the purposes for which the information was produced
- If the collection is solely for journalistic, artistic, or literary purposes
- If the information is publicly available and is specified by the regulations
4. WHEN AND WITH WHOM DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
In Short: We may share information in specific situations described in this section and/or with the following third parties.
We may need to share your personal information in the following situations:

5. DO WE USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES?
In Short: We may use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect and store your information.
We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to access or store information. Specific information about how we use such technologies and how you can refuse certain cookies is set out in our Cookie Notice: https://www.senwellnesssanctuary.com/cookie-policy.
6. IS YOUR INFORMATION TRANSFERRED INTERNATIONALLY?
In Short: We may transfer, store, and process your information in countries other than your own.
Our servers are located in the United Kingdom. If you are accessing our Services from outside the United Kingdom, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed by us in our facilities and by those third parties with whom we may share your personal information (see ‚WHEN AND WITH WHOM DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?‚ above), in Sri Lanka, and other countries.
If you are a resident in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK), or Switzerland, then these countries may not necessarily have data protection laws or other similar laws as comprehensive as those in your country. However, we will take all necessary measures to protect your personal information in accordance with this privacy notice and applicable law.
European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses:
We have implemented measures to protect your personal information, including by using the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers of personal information between our group companies and between us and our third-party providers. These clauses require all recipients to protect all personal information that they process originating from the EEA or UK in accordance with European data protection laws and regulations. Our Standard Contractual Clauses can be provided upon request. We have implemented similar appropriate safeguards with our third-party service providers and partners and further details can be provided upon request.
7. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?
In Short: We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this privacy notice unless otherwise required by law.
We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements).
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymise such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
8. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?
In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organisational and technical security measures.
We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organisational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorised third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the Services within a secure environment.
9. DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?
In Short: We do not knowingly collect data from or market to children under 18 years of age.
We do not knowingly solicit data from or market to children under 18 years of age. By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 18 or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent’s use of the Services. If we learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from children under age 18, please contact us at [email protected].

You can make such a request by contacting us by using the contact details provided in the section ‚HOW CAN YOU CONTACT US ABOUT THIS NOTICE?‚ below.
We will consider and act upon any request in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

If you are located in Switzerland, you may contact the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner.
Withdrawing your consent: If we are relying on your consent to process your personal information, which may be express and/or implied consent depending on the applicable law, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us by using the contact details provided in the section ‚HOW CAN YOU CONTACT US ABOUT THIS NOTICE?‚ below.

11. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track (‚DNT‘) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage no uniform technology standard for recognising and implementing DNT signals has been finalised. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.

I recently spent 3 days at Sen Wellness and it was the most restorative and calming experience. We had a good taste of Ayurvedic treatments and the twice daily yoga sessions were incredible. Every meal was also so thoughtful and made with care, but most of all tasted amazing (even to a meat lover like me)! Thank you to everyone at Sen Wellness who made it such a special experience. I hope to be back for longer the next time ☺️
Oh, but please be prepped with insect repellent!

My stay at Sen Wellness Sanctuary was a truly beautiful and special experience. The entire property is designed with so much love and attention to detail.
Location & Surroundings:
The location is absolutely beautiful and surrounded by nature. There is a stunning, almost completely deserted beach right next to the sanctuary. While the sea is not really suitable for swimming, the beach itself is incredibly beautiful and peaceful, perfect for long walks, watching the sunset or simply enjoying the feeling of having the place almost entirely to yourself. The nearby lagoon is another highlight and makes the surroundings feel very special and untouched.
Food & Nutrition:
The food was beautifully presented every day, incredibly varied, organic, and clearly prepared with a lot of love. I especially enjoyed having a fresh coconut every morning. The Ayurvedic doctor also gave interesting explanations about nutrition, although I personally would have loved to learn a little more about which foods and habits are specifically suited to my own dosha.
Room:
I was lucky enough to receive a complimentary upgrade and had a really beautiful room. The open-air shower, where you could see the sky above you, was such a special touch. The room service was excellent, with fresh towels, sheets and everything else always taken care of. Some areas of the property could benefit from small renovations, but overall I felt very comfortable.
Staff:
The entire staff was incredibly friendly, warm and helpful. We spontaneously had the idea of doing a photoshoot during our stay, and the team even helped us with the organisation. Their willingness to support us and make things possible was something I really appreciated.
Ayurveda:
The Ayurvedic programme was one of the highlights of my stay. We had four treatments every day, and they were both very professional and wonderfully varied. From different types of massages and herbal baths to steam baths, acupuncture and oil treatments on the forehead, every treatment felt special and was carried out with great care and attention.
Activities:
The daily activities were also incredibly diverse. There was yoga and meditation every day, temple visits, a cooking class, turtle watching, a visit from a monk, a lagoon boat trip, as well as beautiful ceremonies involving cacao and blue lotus. Everything was conducted in a very intentional, heartfelt and almost ceremonial way.
Community:
One of the things I loved most was the sense of community. Because everyone eats together and participates in activities together, it is very easy to connect with other guests. I met so many wonderful people during my stay and even made friendships that I hope will last beyond the retreat. This sense of community made the experience even more special.
Overall, Sen Wellness Sanctuary is a beautiful place to slow down, reconnect with yourself, explore Ayurveda and meet wonderful people. It is a place filled with love, intention and heart, surrounded by breathtaking nature, a peaceful beach and the beautiful lagoon. I would absolutely come back.

Wir haben einen Spaziergang am Strand gemacht und wurden von heftigen Regen überrascht. Die Mitarbeiter des Hotel haben uns herzlich umsorgt. Haben für uns einen tuktuk bestellt und den Kindern einen Obstteller gegeben.

We had a wonderful stay at Sen Wellness Sanctuary and can wholeheartedly recommend it. From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed and cared for.
The entire staff was exceptionally friendly, attentive, and professional, from the waiters to the doctors, therapists and everyone else working at the sanctuary. Their kindness and genuine care made our stay truly special.
The treatments were excellent, the atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing, and we always felt in very good hands. We also enjoyed beautiful experiences with our group, including memorable excursions and activities that added a special touch to our stay.
Thank you to the whole team for an unforgettable experience. We would love to come back one day!

It truly is a wellness center! Mind, body and spirit restored. The space is peaceful and I felt earthed as soon as I took off my footwear at the entrance and walked in barefoot.
The consultation with the ayurvedic doctor was in-depth and I was amazed at the accuracy of the diagnosis. The treatment was personalised for my condition and not a mindless sequence of procedures. The therapists are sympathetic and have the expertise .
It was not all about ayurveda though! Yoga twice curated mindfully, community feeling with all the guests eating and sharing their journey at the dining table and common spaces, cacao ceremony, fire ceremony, the connection with one another and the eternal- all came together to make this a most memorable experience.
The staff has always been friendly, polite, accommodating and only too helpful to make our journey comfortable.
Added to all this were sightings of majestic monitor lizards, buff striped keelback, brahminy kits, friendly squirrels, the cheat crow who would regularly eat up the lamp wick and drink it's oil....to all my gratitude. The thunderous sea and the awe inspiring sunset from the rock pool, i will carry you forever in my heart.

素敵なドクター、スタッフ達のいるアーユルヴェーダリトリート。曜日によっては、アーユルヴェーダに関する座学や、料理、スリランカのお坊さんとのセッションもあったり、トリートメントだけでなく、学びもありとても有意義な時間を過ごせました。また環境も最高で、すぐそこにほぼ人のいないビーチがあり、孔雀や猿など野生の動物たち、運が良ければ海亀にも会えます。まだ見ぬ本当のスリランカを堪能できること間違いなしです。

This place is truly amazing. It has a very special and peaceful atmosphere, and the unique design of the resort creates a perfect harmony between nature, tranquility, and modern design. I had the opportunity to participate in a meditation and sound healing session with the monk, which was an unforgettable and deeply enriching experience. A truly special place that I would highly recommend.

A peaceful little escape with beautiful surroundings, kind staff, and a calming atmosphere. The ayurvedic treatments, yoga sessions and wellness experience felt genuinely rejuvenating. Perfect place to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with yourself.

I had a fantastic stay at Sen Wellness.
The place, the architecture, the interior, the location are just magical.
I initially intended to stay 4 days but ended up extending.
It‘s beautifully nestled in between wildlife, we had monkeys, chipmunks and peacocks as our neighbors.
However there are a few things I‘d like to highlight for you to judge whether this is for you:
1) the approach is more wellness centered. The doctor will ask you questions like „what would you like?“ and „do you have questions for me“, rather than a check-up when it comes to treatments and accupuncture. Perhaps I‘m coming from a TCM point of view, but the doctor usually knows what the patient needs.
2) if you come here with serious health issues and the hope to recover: it is about wellness. Staff is not trained enough to understand injury informed trauma in the body and can not take care of it.
Staff usually gets trained there and has no prior education on these matters.
3) the food is not tailored to your needs. The approach is quite beautifully freeing: a little bit of everything is ok, and all flavours should be on each plate.
4) your food preferences are not noted initally, sometimes the dinners were fish-based and vegetarian or vegan people had to let kitchen staff know the situation. Once that had been done they quickly fried up some eggs and remembered for the rest of the stay, so all is well. However I would have liked to see a thoughtfully substituted meal for all dietary requirements by the doctors.
My vegan friend got no substitute, the day after she got some steamed cabbage offered to replace the protein.
4) there are a lot of mosquitos due to the location. So if you are sensitive to this, it‘s best to bring a lot of mosquito repellent.
6) the Yoga varies. It’s young volunteer Yoga Teachers — although we had one amazing one called Gil, who took care of everyone properly.
Considering people come here with health issues and of different ages and fitness levels, a lot more props, adjustments an modifications are needed than currently offered. I witnessed a few injuries and at this price point would expect a paid Yoga Teacher with experience and suitable expertise.
7) the place itself is magical. But there is a dark side to it: some, especially young staff, appear to be paid >below< national minimum wage (which as of Jan 2026 is 30 000 LKR a month, which equals 81€). That‘s less than half of what I paid in a single day here.
Considering every guest leaves a couple of thousand dollars there at a time and there are always 10+ guests, I would expect them all to get paid very decently.
If the philosophy of the place shall be matched with it‘s reality, for energetic balance of this place, wages need to be increased urgently to an amount so all staff can suffice on one full time job.
I am expecting a throw back in the response, as I have seen for many other reviews that pointed this out. Bit I just know it‘s true.
It can be felt. And no words can undo the energetic essence of underpaid staff in a luxury wellness resort.
Any guest will feel it until it is fixed.
I want to see staff empowered. Both in salary and voice.
I think it would be a misuse of power, which doesn‘t match the philosophy of the place, to disallow staff to speak about their salaries.
8) it is luxury in the service: nicely assembled food, expensive furniture and design. But it is also at a remote beach in between nature: sometimes there is power outage, there‘s moisture, the natural elements and animals do their thing.
I can understand this and am not too fuzzy, but wanted to share that it‘s an interesting mix between glamping and a 5 star resort — so be prepared and don‘t expect everything to be neat, clean and always working.
My room for example, the cheapest one at 130$ a night was dark with no real window and moist and smelled like drain.
After all: I would stay again, but not at this price point.
I still want to thank all staff for their welcoming energy, their smiles and their service. 🌟

I had the most magical time at Sen. It’s a true oasis of tranquillity, surrounded by palm trees, mango groves, wildlife, and nestled between a lagoon and the ocean. The natural materials and warm colours create a beautiful, peaceful setting.
The staff are incredibly kind and attentive, the treatments are varied and tailored to your needs, and the Ayurvedic food is delicious. Daily yoga, meditation, breathwork, and chanting make the whole experience deeply nourishing.
An incredible retreat that I would love to return to.
