Heritance Maha Gedara isn’t just a resort, it’s a boutique sanctuary on Sri Lanka’s golden southwest coast, just a short drive from Colombo. Here, every detail is designed to help you unwind and reconnect. This place is dedicated entirely to Ayurveda and wellbeing – not as a passing trend, but as a way of life.
On arrival, you’ll meet with Ayurvedic doctors, who identify your dosha (body type) and create a personalized program – whether your focus is detox, rejuvenation, stress relief, or weight management. Each day is enriched with therapeutic massages, herbal treatments, yoga, and evening meditations to restore balance between body and mind.
But there’s more than treatments. Guests are invited to light a traditional brass lamp as a symbol of new beginnings, discover Sri Lankan crafts with local artisans, swim in the palm-lined pool, or simply disappear into the library with a book. The staff are attentive and warm, always ready with thoughtful care and a cup of freshly brewed ginger tea.
Food at Maha Gedara is medicine and pleasure rolled into one. Every meal is freshly prepared from local, organic produce, matched to your constitution. Expect vibrant dishes full of vegetables, spices, and Ayurvedic herbs free from additives, alcohol, and artificial flavors. Each plate feels as good as it tastes, bringing you closer to balance with every bite.
The resort is equally committed to sustainability: solar power, eco-friendly architecture, an expansive herbal garden for treatments, organic farming methods, and a close partnership with the local community. Every choice reflects a thoughtful harmony with nature – the same harmony Ayurveda inspires.
Many guests say the most challenging part isn’t the detox, but the departure. Because once you’ve found your balance at Maha Gedara, you’ll want to carry its calm rhythm with you wherever you go.

REVIEWS OF ZEN TRAVELERS
"Maha Gedara is a paradise for anyone looking to step away from stress and experience a body detox, while also focusing on personal growth and self-care. Most of the guests are couples or women – often with friends – who come for 14 days with a clear intention. For me, the highlight of the journey was the Ayurvedic treatments. I had up to seven sessions a day: four massages, herbal baths, acupuncture, yoga, and daily consultations with the doctor. It was fantastic! I went beyond my goal and returned home feeling like a new person."
