At Sen Wellness Sanctuary we are always delighted and grateful when we receive glowing endorsements from renowned and respected blogs such as Queen of Retreats.

Sen Wellness Sanctuary is a stylish and friendly holistic wellness retreat open all year round near a stunning and remote beach on Sri Lanka’s south coast. Its talented founder, London-based osteopath Sam Kankanamage, is in residence there four months of the year or you can catch him this September when his team brings their mind, body, spirit experience to a gorgeous estate in Yorkshire for an exclusive 3-night weekend retreat, Embracing Intuition.

What did our reviewer think about Sen Wellness?

Queen of Retreats reviewer Elizabeth Bennett had a much needed break from normality at Sen Wellness on a Spring Awakening Retreat. She says: ‘What sets Sen’s Signature Retreats apart are the one-to-ones. I had an enlightening chat with the local Buddhist monk about living in the present, a breakthrough meditation moment with the yoga teacher as she told me ‘to relax my mind like a muscle’, and osteopathy with Sam which felt more like therapy.´ Read Elizabeth’s personal review.

I cannot express my gratitude deeply enough for the experience I had at Sen Wellness Sanctuary. After flying all the way from Canada, it took just three days for Dr. Sam and his compassionate team to give me my life back following my young brother's death. Upon reaching out, I learned the sanctuary was fully booked, but after hearing my plea for help, they somehow made special room for my boyfriend and I. It was an act of profound compassion that set the stage for our entire experience. While my soul was doing the hard work of healing from grief, my body was continuously comforted with restorative Ayurvedic treatments. The daily massages, herbal soaks, and curated therapies were a constant source of peace, a beautiful reminder that while the inner work was difficult, I was being cared for on a physical level. The sanctuary's dedication to holistic well-being is truly unparalleled. In a testament to this, they brought in a Buddhist monk for spiritual teachings, and on a separate occasion, when a turtle nest was discovered, they called in a conservation officer. We were able to help the newborn turtles make it safely to sea, an experience that was as spiritual and healing as any of the treatments. Dr. Sam and his team have created more than just a retreat; it's a sanctuary for the soul, a place where profound healing is not just possible-its inevitable. Sen is forever in my heart

Truly a beautiful experience- one week here feels like a month in the real world. Allow yourself the gift of disconnection to connect with what matters, yourself & community. People are kind, treatments are wonderful, food is delicious, pacing is calm. No pressure to do much of anything- the healing is intuitive just by existing. Thank you! I can't wait to come back here!

I stayed in this beautiful sanctuary for almost a week. The place and service is incredible! Highly recommended. I am picky with my food and they accommodated all my needs and never made me feel like my asks were too much or anything. Madu, Samin, Taru, the founder Sam, everyone was so nice and welcoming the whole time. Felt like home away from home ♥️ highly recommended to anyone who wants to reconnect with themselves and rest and recharge.

Simply incredible!
I experienced an amazing 8 day stay at Sen Wellness which was both deeply relaxing and transformative. The staff are remarkably kind and caring, the space is beautiful and tranquil, and the treatments are exceptional.
