Awaken You

Awaken and ignite yourself to a new level of body, mind, and soul awareness as you immerse in the lush beauty of Sri Lanka. Align from the inside out, awaken your vitality, and reconnect with your deepest truth, surrounded by serene nature overlooking Koggala Lake and the gentle rhythm of the ocean.

Step away from the noise of daily life and allow the natural magic of Sri Lanka to guide you into a new way of being. Relax, awaken your senses, and reconnect with your inner self through daily meditations, aligned yoga practices, and soulful rituals.
Savour gourmet Sri Lankan-inspired cuisine, indulge your senses with spa treatments, or simply unwind by one of the two tranquil pools.

Throughout the week, you’ll learn life-redesign frameworks and practices to help you live with more joy, vitality, and purpose and less stress. Nourish your body, calm your mind, and elevate your spirit so you return home feeling inspired, rebalanced, and truly captivated by life again.

Kurulu Bay (Sinhalese for “bird island”) is a private sanctuary built around the existing design led villa which houses the yoga shalas and private spaces for retreats.  This boutique hotel has been designed to ensure a sense of intimacy with nature. It is located in Ahangama, close to some of the best beaches and surf spots on the south coast and overlooking Sri Lanka’s largest, and one of its most scenic lakes, Koggala Lake and is surrounded by lush greenery. Every element has been carefully considered to offer space, privacy and tranquillity, with an emphasis on health and wellbeing.
