The alluring nation of Sri Lanka will offer many attractions for visitors, such as beautiful scenery, attractive beaches, cultural features, exotic wildlife, historical sites and so on. It will also be a wonderful setting for a wellness holiday; in this island nation, you will find many locations and options to choose from when it comes to experience holistic healing. Provided below are some useful suggestions for planning your wellness holiday in Sri Lanka.

Clarify your definition of ‘wellness’

First, you must clarify what exactly ‘wellness’ means to you, as it will mean different things to different people. Most of us will probably agree that wellness will entail relaxation and rejuvenation, but we may have different ideas regarding how this will be brought about. For instance, you may feel that a wellness holiday would involve plenty of spa treatments including steam baths and massages. On the other hand, others may rather experience a multi-day trek in the wilderness where one can reconnect with nature. Irrespective of your individual idea of wellness, Sri Lanka will provide options that will appeal to you.

Identify the level of activeness

All of us will differ when it comes to the level of activity that we would like for a revitalising wellness holiday. Some of us may prefer nothing more than spending days in relaxation and tranquillity, without engaging in any activity at all. Others will welcome physical activity and exertion as a way of achieving rejuvenation through challenging yet rewarding pursuits. However, an activity that totally drains and exhausts you will probably not be appropriate for a wellness holiday. You should carefully think about and assess the level of activity that will assist you to achieve satisfaction and a state of wellbeing; the great thing is that Sri Lanka will offer activities that match the level of exertion that you prefer.

Choose the right accommodation

Sri Lanka will offer many varied accommodation options for your wellness holiday. Some of us may be inspired by a stay in a rustic setting without electricity or other modern conveniences. On the other hand, you may prefer to stay at an attractive beachfront villa looking over the ocean with pleasant lounge spaces and modern comforts where you could take in the appealing surroundings. Perhaps, you would prefer an agreeable colonial-style bungalow in the cool highlands of Sri Lanka with nostalgic charm and a laidback ambience. An accommodation choice to consider for such holidays that would include beachfront and highland villas in Sri Lanka as described above would be the properties of Reveal the Collection. Amidst enchanting natural backdrops, be it by the coast or in the mountains, you can truly get away from it all and get in touch with nature and oneself.

Consider Ayurveda

You will also have the chance to experience the benefits of Ayurveda in Sri Lanka, the ancient system of medicine that has its origins in the nation of India. During your stay on the island, you could avail yourself of the services of a skilled Ayurvedic practitioner who will provide traditional therapies involving the use of natural medications created from herbs and spices. You could also avail yourself of a specially tailored diet plan that will match your individual bodily requirements and enable you to achieve balance for mind, body and spirit.

Think about mainstream treatments

If you so desire, you could opt for internationally recognised spa treatments and therapies during your wellness holiday here as well. Spas in Sri Lanka will provide well-known therapies such as Thai and Swedish massages and Balinese treatments. You could also experience other spa staples such as deep tissue massages and aromatherapy in the beautiful setting of Sri Lanka. Each of these therapies has its own style and will have been developed for a certain purpose. Naturally, the treatments that you choose will depend on your specific needs and preferences.
