I've just returned home from two wonderful weeks at Villa de Zoysa. Devinda is a superb host and his staff take great care of the house guests. Two yoga classes a day and a very healthy south Asian vegetarian diet have left me 4kg lighter and feelling much fitter & more positive than I have in ages. Our lovely yoga teacher Ann knew just how far to push each of us to extend us beyond our previous limitations. It's warm in Sri Lanka so take a beach towel to cover your mat, otherwise you'll slip when your hands and feet get damp. To steal a line from Arnie, "I'll be back"!

I had a lovely stay at the Villa in March 2018 with my German yoga instructors Anna and Juergen and our yoga group for 14 days. It's a big old Villa with garden and pool to relax right next to the local beach. The food was just amazing!!! It is fresh cooked with local ingredients, so healthy and delicious! I really enjoyed our meals together on the big table in the dining room with good conversations. Almost every morning we had fresh coconut water after our yoga class. The owner Devinda was a great host, he travelled with the whole group to some nice places like a tea plantation and Temples, showed us around and you can have good conversations with him. If you have any questions he was always helpful! The two dogs and one cat are really cute. (If you are not a dog or cat person they won't bother you). The two yoga classes every day combined with the amazing food and some sightseeing made this holiday relaxing and to a great experience! I really enjoyed our stay, we had a fantastic time and I can recommend it! (The Villa is located next to a railway, if you have a light sleep, you may wake up once at night. But this shouldn't be a problem for enjoying your stay. Just take earplugs with you :)) Have a wonderful time at Villa de Zoysa!

Breathtakingly beautiful property, huge colonial house that has been decorated with so much love and a yoga shala right next to the pool. Its a magical place, you can feel the spirituality in the air and the owner does everything to assist you during your stay. Villa de Zoysa is an experience, no matter if you‘re looking in visiting for a retreat or just for a few days to wind down. The food is phenomenal, homemade, local and there are always vegan options available!

Really really great place. Yoga was very good and the food in unbelievable. Room was comfy and cool. There’s a large library and many different places to hang out. Anything you want to do can be booked through the owner for convenience and you run less of a risk of being ripped off by not as nice tour guides. Would recommend to any type of traveler.
