More about Villa Velmarie
Dining at Villa Velmarie is not only about nourishment but also an essential part of the healing journey. Rooted in Ayurvedic nutritional philosophy, meals are thoughtfully curated to support each guest’s individual wellness path. The retreat offers a predominantly vegetarian menu, prepared using fresh, locally sourced produce, herbs, and spices known for their therapeutic properties. During Ayurvedic treatment programs, meals are customized according to one's dosha (body constitution), helping balance the body's energies while enhancing digestion and overall vitality. The food is free from processed ingredients, with a strong emphasis on purity, taste, and nutritional balance. Guests dine in an airy, open-plan pavilion that overlooks the gardens, creating a serene and mindful dining experience. The staff ensures that meals are not only healthful but also beautifully presented and deeply satisfying, making every meal a continuation of the retreat’s holistic philosophy.
Villa Velmarie offers a restful environment designed to slow the pace of life and encourage deep rejuvenation. Leisure here means reconnecting with nature, self, and simplicity. The outdoor pool is a centerpiece of the garden, bordered by swaying coconut palms and flowering plants, offering an idyllic spot for a gentle swim, sunbathing, or reading by the water’s edge. The expansive garden invites peaceful walks, barefoot grounding, or meditation in nature. For those seeking quiet exploration, Maggona Beach is just a short stroll away—a quiet stretch of sand ideal for morning walks, sunset reflection, or sea bathing. The daily rhythm of the retreat includes yoga and meditation sessions in shaded garden spaces or purpose-built areas, enhancing guests’ sense of peace. Unlike high-energy resorts, Villa Velmarie is intentionally designed to offer minimal stimulation, helping guests rest their senses and enjoy undisturbed, mindful leisure time.
The Ayurveda Centre at Villa Velmarie is a dedicated sanctuary for authentic, personalized healing based on centuries-old traditions of Sri Lankan and Indian Ayurveda. Upon arrival, each guest receives a detailed consultation with an experienced Ayurvedic doctor, who evaluates their dosha and designs a customized treatment plan that may include internal herbal medications, external therapies, and lifestyle recommendations. Treatments at the centre range from full-body Abhyanga massages with warm medicated oils, Shirodhara (streaming oil on the forehead), Pinda Sweda (herbal poultice therapy), and steam baths to Panchakarma detox procedures for deep internal cleansing. All therapies are conducted by skilled and compassionate therapists under the doctor's supervision, ensuring both safety and effectiveness. The centre itself is a calming, purpose-built space with treatment rooms infused with the soothing aromas of herbs and oils. Silence, ritual, and precision are respected throughout each session, creating a profound sense of trust and relaxation. This is not a commercial spa — it's a healing space rooted in ancient wisdom and guided by the principle of bringing the body, mind, and spirit back into harmony.

Food
At Villa Velmarie, food is an essential part of the healing journey, carefully prepared according to Ayurvedic principles to nourish the body, balance the doshas (body energies), and support the detoxification process. All meals are plant-based and freshly made using locally sourced, seasonal ingredients, many of which are grown organically on-site or nearby. Each dish is crafted to suit the individual’s Ayurvedic body type (Vata, Pitta, or Kapha) and therapeutic goals, as prescribed by the in-house Ayurvedic doctor. Guests enjoy three wholesome meals a day, thoughtfully balanced to enhance digestion and vitality. The cuisine includes a vibrant array of vegetables, lentils, herbs, and traditional Sri Lankan spices that not only add flavor but also contribute to overall wellness. Meals are often accompanied by nourishing herbal drinks—such as the morning “Kola Kenda,” a traditional green porridge rich in medicinal herbs, and soothing herbal teas in the afternoon. While the food is light and cleansing, it is also satisfying, celebrating the richness of Ayurvedic culinary wisdom.

This pearl of Ressort, small but fine impressed us in many ways: this wonderful ancient tree cover with diverse secluded corners to feel good and relax... the Ayurvedic healing art where we alone were given a 10-day course (which was only held for the two of us) to gain a wide variety of insights... the individually tailored treatment and nutrition, both of which were professionally very good and healing... the warm-family coexistence, where a solution was found for every request, where in the kitchen you can also look over the chef's shoulder and we got many tips regarding Ayurvedic cooking, where a guest's birthday was an invitation to coffee and cake for everyone, where after each room cleaning the bed was festively decorated with flowers etc.

Beautiful rest and treatment! When we first came to Ceylon at the Villa Velmarie Hotel- I didn't believe people came six or more times. And here's 2025-- we've had our third consecutive year of vacation and treatment at Villa Velmari. It's a complete relaxation and recovery complex! Everything is just wonderful-- soulful staff, delicious food, cleanliness and connection with nature. Now we have no doubt we will return here again! Huge thanks to owners and employees for their sensitivity and care! I recommend it!

This year, my husband and I visited Villa Velmarie for the second time. Last year, we stayed for 14 days after a prior trip around Sri Lanka, which suited us very well, especially me, due to my health condition. I felt constant improvements, even months after returning home. That’s why we decided to come for a whole month this year. February was wonderful weather-wise. The villa felt like coming home—beautiful, well-maintained, with a very warm and authentic welcome. The rooms were lovely, clean, and equipped with all the comforts we needed. The garden was well-kept, vibrant, lush, and blooming. The dining area was new, bright, airy, and pleasant. The food was delightful, colorful, and Ayurvedically balanced. The pool was clean, inviting, and the water was as warm as if it were thermal. The doctor was friendly, very dedicated, and thorough. The therapies were high-quality, and the therapists’ (Lakna and Saminde) approach was very professional and expert, yet warm and humane.Also other staff members are very dedicated, warm and available to help and assist you at any time. The owner Charith is really very kind and friendly, ready to listen our additional wishes and needs at any time which is not always very easy. We will definitely come back next year because we have fallen in love with Sri Lanka—its nature, colors, and scents—as well as with Villa Velmarie and its people.
