Media Reviews
"'One of Sri Lanka’s best known Ayurveda resorts, run by the company responsible for producing much of the island’s Ayurvedic medicines. The residential Ayurveda courses are complemented with yoga and meditation classes, and the atmosphere is pleasantly low-key, with comfortable, rather rustic chalet accommodation.'"

Price From:  US $ 274.13 (Superior Terrace, HB Basis, Twin)
Location
Situated just one hour away from Colombo, in the southern coastal town of Wadduwa, the Siddhalepa Ayurveda Health Resort offers holistic wellbeing based on the ancient healing wisdom of Ayurveda. The relaxing surroundings and funfilled activities on offer for children, makes this Resort suitable for even families travelling with children. The Resort is fronted by the blue Indian Ocean and surrounded by woodland and meadow. The journey from Colombo’s international airport will take about two hours.
Introduction
The history of Siddhalepa on this island dates back to 200 years with generations of the owning Hettigoda family playing a vital role in promoting the philosophy of Ayurveda in the country. With much experience and a reliable reputation for its Ayurvedic therapies, Siddhalepa has branched out to many areas including the establishment of Ayurvedic Hospitals, marketing of personal care herbal products ranging from toothpaste, soaps and medicinal oils, to the creation of health resorts such as the one in Wadduwa, as well as an Ayurvedic Spa in Germany. The latest addition is an Ayurvedic Spa in the heart of Colombo 7 that opened in December 2007. The Siddhalepa Health Resort in Wadduwa blends Ayurvedic therapies with a relaxing holiday. It is a great place for couples when one person is not as serious about Ayurveda as the other, or parents that want to indulge in a relaxing massage while the kids are kept amused.

The Bentota beach located nearby is at its very best from December to April. During this period the sea is generally calm and safe for swimming. The small holiday towns along the west coast – Kalutara, Beruwela, Bentota, Ambalangoda and Hikkaduwa – all share a vibrant cultural heritage including folklore, music and dance as well as architectural influences from the Dutch period to the more modern creations of the iconic local architect, Geoffrey Bawa. Visit nearby Lunuganga – a garden retreat that was created by Geoffrey Bawa with numerous varieties of foliage, many pavilions, and statues.
