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.
Yoga shala
Our yoga shala is a sacred and nurturing space overlooking the lush forest treetops. As you develop your practice within the heart of nature, you find yourself effortlessly drawn inwards, coming home to yourself.
Spacious and well-equipped, our shala accommodates up to 30 people, providing the perfect space for yoga and meditation classes, gong baths, group healing circles and ceremonies.
Swimming Pool
An outdoor swimming pool under the palms is a stone’s throw from the ocean. Bask in the sun’s embrace, read under the soothing shade of the palm trees, submerge into the cool water or strengthen the mind and body with outdoor yoga on the spacious wooden deck.
Reading & relaxation
Dotted around the Sanctuary you will find several beautifully designed areas with comfortable seating and day beds where you can relax in between treatments, soak up the serenity of the space and let yourself be inspired by a book from our in-house library, lovingly curated by Sam Kankanamge.
Walled Garden
Enjoy a moment of contemplation amidst tropical plants and flowers in our walled garden, lovingly tended by our green-fingered resident gardener, Asoka. Here you will find comfortable loungers in the sun and shade: an ideal space to unwind, with the rhythmic sound of ocean waves ebbing and flowing in the background.
