The well-kept complex consists of two elegantly designed buildings, each with four individually furnished, spacious superior rooms, one small bungalow and the Ayurveda area with therapy rooms along an idyllic colonnade. All rooms offer the modern comforts in a style inspired by traditional local architecture and feature king-size beds, separate bathrooms with shower and a terrace or balcony.

Enjoy the exotic birdsong and let your soul loose as you get pampered by trained hands of our experienced therapists with warm oil and massages form traditional medicine from India. Yoga under expert guidance promises to relax both your body and soul. The Villa Lanka Pearl offers its Ayurveda guests full board with delicious Ayurveda dishes, prepared by our chefs according to our physicans´ guidelines.

We were guests at Villa Lanka Pearl for a week. We felt completely at home during that week.
The team around Helmut and Chamara was always there for their guests.
From the treatments to the food to the service, everything was perfect.
We felt like part of a family and will definitely come back.

This is not a hotel to visit in the traditional sense. It’s an Ayuveda resort where the guests enjoy a program from early morning yoga to various herbal treatments prepared by the in-house doctor when you arrive. There are three meals a day provided and planned with wellness in mind. There is plenty of time to just relax in the hotels beach hut or by the pool. The staff are very attentive. The meals are excellent and the rooms are good. There is no TV and early nights are the order of the day.
A word of caution to some people. The owner is Austrian and I found most of the guests German or Austrian so the conversation around the communal table is generally not in English. As long as you are aware I found that all guests could speak English.
For the treatments the hotel advises three weeks stay. I think two weeks would be fine And I only had 8 days which was also ok but probably minimum.
It is a health retreat rather that a hotel per se but if you ever wanted to try this sort of thing out, this place is good to start.
There are a number of local tours one can take as well and the staff are happy to organise.
Also Sri Lanka is a wonderful country to visit.

I spent two weeks at Villa Lanka Pearl, a beautiful green oasis located near the beach of Balapitiya. I had previous experience with Ayurveda, however, what this resort and its team can offer, is unique. They are very kind people, full of positive energy and they collectively care for your comfort and well-being.
Two competent doctors can be consulted on site, from whom I received great support for my health concern. The massage staff is highly skilled, the treatments are performed in a caring and professional manner. The dedicated yoga classes have been an inspiring way to start the day. The food was delicious, prepared from fresh local ingredients. The rooms are lavishly designed, clean and the entire resort resonates with positive spirit.
It is a unique place to rejuvenate both body and mind, I would definitely recommend! I am thankful to the whole team, the manager and the owners for all the help and for the amazing experience!

A luxury vacation in its substance more than in the typical standard hotels, excellent personal service, healthy food, small cozy resort, generous ayurvedic treatments ideal for a tourist, the luxury of simplicity and caring all inclusive hospitality; nice saffron-coloured beach within 5 minutes walk, water temparature of the Indian Ocaen like a cosmic cuddling, not so far away possibility for many interesting exursions. They speak some German.

If I evaluate our stay at Villa Pearl with my heart, it feels like a little paradise full of well-being and friendliness.
If I ask my head, then I can name an excellent, healthy gourmet cuisine, two friendly and competent Ayurvedic doctors, great massages, a beautiful park, a private beach, an extremely homely bungalow, a profound warmth, a not too family-like atmosphere and a lot of relaxation and serenity.
And since at Villa Pearl heart and head are in agreement, it will certainly not be our last stay here.

I spent almost 3 weeks at Villa Lanka Pearl for a Panchakarma treatment and I can't imagine a better place for it. The wonderful, highly professional treatments combined with the sensitive daily support of the Ayurveda doctors, the spectacularly good Ayurvedic food and the paradisiacal ambience in the middle of a tropical garden right by the sea made my stay a perfect mix of treatment and relaxation holiday. The absolute highlight is the team on site. Everyone is devoted to the guests and all needs and wishes are met at all times. I can only recommend Villa Lanka to anyone who is looking for an individual, professional Ayurveda treatment with a lot of heart. I will be back!
