Villa De Zoysa
Your Home with a History
Wake up in this beautiful colonial mansion to soft sunlight filtering through your shuttered windows. Open your heart in a morning class by the poolside yoga shala, nourish your body with a dazzling array of homemade Sri Lankan dishes and rediscover your center with an evening yoga class on the beach as the sun sets. Villa de Zoysa is simply a kindred abode that will awaken your soul, your spirit and your senses. There is history and heart wrapped into the bones of this home and into the spirit of its owner. Time spent on the grounds of Villa de Zoysa — resting in a hammock, curling up with a book on one of the expansive terraces, or sipping freshly brewed tea in an open courtyard — is deliciously restorative. Step onto the green grasses of the villa, and step into peace.
Yoga holidays and wellness treatments in Sri Lanka.
We like to say we run yoga holidays, as retreats sound a bit too serious and structured. We have only 2 yoga classes a day. 7.30 to 9.00 AM and 5 to 6.30 pm with Sunday being the off day. Between the classes, on a typical day, you have enough free time to indulge in surfing, snorkeling, diving, visiting UN heritage site of timeless Galle-Fort, a tea plantation, an isolated Buddhist temple, cycling in the village and even having a fabulous in-house deep tissue massage.
Yoga & Surf Sri Lanka
We are open throughout the year, with high quality teachers changing every 2 to 3 weeks, especially in the high season of October to April. No set dates for starting classes, they run every day except Sunday.
Whats Around Us
It is not just surfing we have it around us. We have plenty of sites for you to visit, from the nostalgic UN heritage site of Galle Fort to three different beaches, cinnamon peeling families, a tea plantation etc
Travel Tips Sri Lanka
Some of the travel advisories are totally outdated. small towns have become busy cities, historical sites have exaggerated rules and prices, traditional surfing areas have changed to new ones. Our ideas are for less frequented places, with less costs.
