My 8 day stay at Villa Velmarie was amazing and truly special! As woman traveling on my own, I felt very safe all the time. If you want to have a authentic Avuyeda experience and get to know Sri Lankan hospitality, this is definitely the place to go! The team of Villa Velmarie is just amazing, very friendly, helpful and always smiling. There are not many words needed to understand that the whole team cares with so much passion about all guests. There are only six room, so that you feel like becoming a member of Velmarie family. During my stay they were only three other guests, so that the atmosphere was just perfect and so nice! All treatments by my therapist Chaturani were excellent! The flower bath and the Shirodhare were my favorite treatments. The massages and oil treaments are wonderful as well. The cook prepares fresh and very delicious Sri Lankan foods, which she serves with a big smile. The manager tries to fulfill all wishes and helps to organise taxi rides and trips. The garden and pool area is very clear and beautiful, thanks to the great gardener who works all day. The cleaning lady provides fresh towels whenever you want and keeps everything nice and clean! The yoga lession is a perfect start of your day. Highly recommend to go there!

What a peaceful experience top class yoga and Ayurveda treatments authenticitc Ayurveda doctor Janaka Samaraweera

The staff welcomed me like family and took great care of me throughout my stay. They went above and beyond, to make me feel at home. The food was exceptional and the treatments were tailored to me and of the highest standard. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting Sri Lanka.

All meals were very good. I was very well looked after during my stay and I would recommend the yoga and Ayurvedic treatments.

We have really enjoyed our holiday in Villa Velmarie, we have returned completely relaxed. We already miss whole lovely place, especialy all nice people from villa and little puppy too :) Treatments, massages, joga and mainly food were amazing. We think about our holiday every day and we are sure, that we want to come to Villa Velmarie again :)

We wished we had stayed longer. The first evening, you have a consultation with the Ayurvedic doctor. He sometimes doesn't understand every English name of diseases or names of medications, but if you just try to describe your symptoms/what you are feeling he gets it. He then makes a treatment plan for you, including herbal medicines and various Ayurvedic treatments like massage. The daily schedule is wake up to a cup of fresh detox-tea, go to yoga class, then breakfast. After breakfast you have your first Ayurvedic treatment. This might be specific types of massage or a foot bath or a steam bath, etc. It depends on your treatment plan from the doctor. There is free time until lunch. After lunch, you have your second treatment. In the evening is meditation class and then dinner. All of the staff were very flexible and tried to be as helpful as possible. For example, we wanted to schedule that our first treatment was as early as possible and second treatment was as late as possible, so that we could do a day trip. It was not a problem to arrange that, and they even found us a tuktuk driver for the trip. Beautiful environment on the grounds of the Villa. Walkable to the beach, but the water is too choppy for swimming. Food was mostly very tasty.

Lots of mosquitoes. Bring really strong repellent. Sometimes they cancelled meditation class last minute. The dinner was very un-Ayurvedic, but the guests all asked for it to be improved and it was.
