Thank your SAM and your whole great team for creating this magic Signature Place and life changing moments and experiences!
In the 10 days retreat I celebrated here my birthday. With being one year older, I now feel 10 years younger, mainly because of all the love, the care, the joy and the special attention they have given me and all of us.
We feel blessed we were able to spend wonderful moments together with you in this beautiful authentic place!
Wonderful ayurvedic treatments, great individual care from the doctors, the tasty food, the yogaclasses, and the lovely people!
I will definitely come back.
Until we meet again!
Love, Jessica & Jeroen

The Sanctuary is located in a natural reserve so you are in contact with all type of animals and just a few steps from the beach, which makes it more special.
I would love to come back at least once a year to this special place.

Thanks for all the healing team Sen wellness
I needed a "reset" from the hustle and bustle of New York and I came here without that much expectations. What I found here was a pleasant surprise.
Food - the food was very healthy (not traditional Western salads healthy). It may be challenging for some as other than eggs, no animal protein is provided. However, it was overall extremely healthy - everything was made in house, even sauces and peanut butter.
Treatments - I really thought there would only be 1-2 treatments a day but to my shock, you get 3-5 treatments a day. In addition, you could also do special sessions with the owner (Dr Sam) if he is visiting. My sessions with the team and Dr Sam were incredibly helpful to relieve my anxiety.
Fixed Schedule - if you want to reset and not think about anything, this is the perfect place. Everything is thought about for you - food, activities, daily treatments. Literally all you have to do is show up and relax.
Yoga, Breathwork and Community - Most importantly, I loved the sanctuary because of the yoga and the community. There are sessions with the yoga teacher, a breathwork teacher, and a monk.
I had the most wonderful stay at this Ayurvedic retreat. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed, cared for, and completely at ease. The staff were not only professional but also genuinely warm and attentive, making me feel like part of their family.
The Ayurvedic consultations were thorough and insightful, with treatments tailored perfectly to my needs. Each therapy session was deeply relaxing, and I could feel my stress melting away day by day. The massages, herbal remedies, and healing rituals were authentic and done with so much skill and compassion.
The food was another highlight – delicious, nourishing, and beautifully prepared according to Ayurvedic principles. I left each meal feeling light yet satisfied, and I could truly feel the difference in my energy levels and overall wellbeing.
The peaceful setting of the retreat made the whole experience even more special. Surrounded by nature, I found the time and space to disconnect, reflect, and recharge. By the end of my stay, I felt rejuvenated, balanced, and more in tune with myself than I have in years.
I can’t recommend this retreat highly enough to anyone seeking deep relaxation, healing, or simply a reset from everyday life.
Thanks to all the staff , Dr Chamodi, Madu,Sam , Alex and Mariana ! This place is in my heart i will definitely come back !
The food was really excellent, and meals were always shared together, which created a warm sense of community. This makes the retreat also very suitable for solo travelers, as it is easy to connect with others. There were also many extra activities. One special highlight for me was the trip to the beach in the afternoon, where we practiced breathwork at sunset – an unforgettable experience. I also enjoyed the meditations, the visit of a monk, and the different workshops, which were all very enriching.
I especially loved the yoga classes with Mariana, as well as her breathwork session, which was a completely new and powerful experience for me. Overall, I spent a truly wonderful week at Zen Wellness Sanctuary, full of new impressions and experiences. I am very grateful for this time and would like to thank the whole team for everything.

Ayurveda-retreater
Våra skräddarsydda Ayurveda-retreater, tillgängliga året runt, är unikt anpassade efter din personliga konstitution och wellnessmål. Vi erbjuder flexibla perioder från 3 dagar till 3 veckor eller mer, och vi anpassar oss efter ditt schema.
Varje program börjar med en djupgående konsultation med vår residenta Ayurvediska läkare, som kommer att förskriva en skräddarsydd behandlingsplan som inkluderar dagliga Ayurvediska behandlingar och örtmediciner, yoga- och meditationsövningar, immersiva naturupplevelser och närande måltider, samt kraftfulla gruppceremonier och ritualer.
Signature Retreats
Ett 10-dagars heligt gruppupplevelse tillgänglig säsongsvis, ledd av Sen Wellness Grundare och Medicinsk Direktör Sam Kankanamge. Signature Retreats inkluderar en personlig behandlingssession med Sam, samt gruppceremonier och ritualer.
Vi tror att ingen grupp kommer samman av en slump, det finns alltid ett djupare syfte och avsikt. Någon av den djupaste läkning kan ske när vi tillåter andra att vara en spegel av oss själva. Gruppen utvecklas naturligt under retreten, starka kopplingar skapas och långvariga vänskapsband formas.

Som väktare av detta extraordinära habitat, är vi engagerade i att skydda dess flora och fauna och göra positiva bidrag till vår miljö och lokala samhällen genom hållbarhetsinitiativ.
Boende
Blending harmoniskt med det omgivande ekosystemet, är Sanctuary ett boutique-retreatcenter med 14 rum som erbjuder skräddarsydda program och expertvård för varje gäst.
