Wellness Café & Ayurveda Centre · Badulla, Sri Lanka
Above the mist, a slower morning.
Badulla · Uva Province · Sri Lanka01 — The place
On a hilltop outside Badulla, nourishing Sri Lankan cuisine, Ayurveda-inspired treatments, yoga and mindfulness come together in one place. You can disconnect from everyday stress and reconnect with yourself, without travelling to a distant resort.
02 — Wellness café
The ground floor wraps a circular courtyard, where a frangipani tree rises through the roof. Come for breakfast, a long lunch or just a cup of tea.
03 — Spa & Ayurveda
Upstairs and away from the café, there's a reception lounge, treatment rooms, a couples suite, an Ayurveda therapy room and a timber sauna. Filtered light comes in through the louvres.

04 — Yoga dome
The domed studio on the roof has a warm timber floor and a single round opening. Light falls through it onto the middle of the room, and vines trail down from the rim.
05 — Meditation drum
On the lookout corner stands a 6-metre drum with walls of white concrete. Inside are raked white sand, a low bench and the sky. Sunrise sessions start here while the valley is still full of cloud.
06 — Pool & terrace
Below the upstairs dining terrace, a pool runs along the view edge with loungers on warm timber. Upstairs, thirty seats look out over the water and the hills beyond.
