Spring Awakening Retreat
10-day, 9-night Retreat
20th - 29th March, 2026
The Spring Awakening Retreat is a 10-day wellness programme designed to guide you through the transitions of Spring. Hosted by Sen Wellness founder, Sam Kankanamge, the Signature Retreats include a personal treatment session with Sam in addition to group ceremonies and educational workshops. The 10-day journey will culminate in a deeply transformative and awakening 5-hour heart-opening ceremony integrating cacao medicine, breathwork, chanting, prayer, meditation and other ancient technologies.
We are grateful to our guests who join us from all corners of the world, each bringing their unique light to the group. We believe that no group comes together by accident, there is always a deeper purpose and intention. Some of the deepest healing can occur when we allow others to be a mirror of ourselves. Thoughtfully curated for a group experience, we ask that all guests stay for the full length of the programme. We also recommend arriving a day early if possible.

Full Board Accommodation
Eco Cabanas
Designed and built with sensitivity to the natural surroundings, the cabanas are reached by a raised wooden walkway that offers glimpses of wildlife among the trees. Once you step in, the spacious rooms embrace a natural and minimal design that celebrates the skilful craftsmanship of local artisans.
The cabanas offer the luxury of being surrounded by nature, with framed views of a tropical forest from a comfortable and private space of your own.
Luxury Beach Cabanas
Our Luxury Cabanas are the ultimate tier of Sanctuary accommodation, located a 100-metre walk from the beach. Designed by world-renowned architects, the rooms provide ample space to refresh yourself after a day of healing and exploration, with elegant arched ceilings inspired by nature.
From the private balcony surrounded by lush greenery, the view of topaz waters dances through the coconut palm trees, while the ocean hum induces deep relaxation.
