Ratnakara, a south Sri Lanka luxury villa and retreat with a stunning 60ft infinity pool extending out in to the jungle and overlooking the Indian Ocean. Set in a hillside paradise, Ratnakara is surrounded by a tropical garden full of wildlife and close to a beautiful sandy bay.
Whether you join us for a holiday or a retreat, you will have Ratnakara’s dedicated team of local staff on hand to look after you during your stay with us and guide you through your South Sri Lankan adventure ensuring an experience you will remember and treasure for ever.
Each of our unique rooms is named after a precious stone, reflecting the literal meaning of the ancient Sanskrit word Ratnakara – “creator of gems”
Ratnakara boasts five spacious, beautifully appointed bedroom suites; four king-sized double twin rooms and one triple with three single beds.
All of our rooms are furnished in traditional style with handmade hard-wood furniture, bright Sri Lankan fabrics and cooling polished-concrete floors. The open design of the house, very typical here in Sri Lanka, precludes air-conditioning instead using natural air flow and ceiling fans to ensure you have a cool and comfortable nights sleep
Mosquitos are not generally a problem at Ratnakara however they do appear from time to time so all our beds are fitted with nets should you need them

This retreat – I know – will be one in a million. I pour my heart and soul into my retreats to provide transformational and incredible experiences for every single person who attends. Sri Lanka is magical, so combining it with twice daily Yoga, Meditation, nature, Self-enquiry, and spirituality as well as dancing, laughing, crying, singing and both old and new friends is a winning combination for a trip of a lifetime.
This retreat is centered around Soul Seeking.
During our 8 days together you will rediscover yourself over and over again and come home to yourself. Take this opportunity to dive deeply into your yoga practice surrounded by like-minded individuals to share it with. Discover your beauty and soul! Shed what you need to let go of and discover your most radiant self. Find more compassion for yourself and for others, learn to seek the soul and the sacred in everything.
