Lotus Villa Ayurveda Resort

To choose Lotus Villa for  2 weeks  of ayurvedic Treatments was the best decision I could take.
A beautiful place, extremly kind employees, very good doctors, excellent food. 
I can warmly recommend this clinic.

The overall impression is excellent, the food excellent.
The location of the Lotus Villa is wonderful, the beach is spacious and clean.The rooms are clean and dignified. The doctor treatments are according to the requirements.

I was there with a friend of mine for two weeks and I appreciated my stay.
The staff is professional and very friendly. The treatments are intense and keep one busy the whole morning, in the afternoon you're free to hang in your room or in the garden - the first week you're anyway groggy and tired. As well you don't have to think about what treatment will take place because you're always searched by the staff at the very moment. A good method to relax and leave the responsibility of  outer  coordination. Be confident and let go.
Yet it is a clinic and not a tourist hotel, so you better follow the instructions of the doctors - at your own interest to get the best profit of the treatment.
I would return there anytime and enjoy.

I had a wonderful stay at Lotus Villa. The staff and the yoga teacher were very friendly, professional and tried every day to give their best to meet everbodys needs. 
For me it was a perfect week to pratctise yoga, enjoy the womderful garden of Lotus Villa and get fresh energy for my demanding job. 
Thank you very much!!! 

Ayurveda treatment are superb. Tai Chi master is a very nice person . Wifi is better than last time . I want to come again in six months . For the people travel in summer time they provide a 4 day free of charge tour also.

I like my stay in Lotus Vila resort in January 2020, it was nice and calm to stay, perfect for relaxation, good sleep, nice beach and ocean, very good and healthy food, ayurveda treatements, medicaments, perfect yoga each morning and tai chi and always always smilling stuff. I had got all I was expected and more, I met many new people who became my new friends from many parts of the world and I saw very nice places in Srilanka on the trips. Now I still feel full of energy and I still like the smile in my soul!  Thank you everyone from Lotus Vila! You made my days perfect! 😁😁😁

For the 3rd time I spent two maximum relaxing weeks in the Lotus Villa. 
The medical team is competent and friendly, the treatments are very good and the food is excellent.The location is wonderful. A long beach invites you to go for a walk, fantastic sunsets.The rooms are very simple but clean and are made 2x a day. 
The Lotus Villa is not a luxury resort with an Ayurveda Spa, but a true "clinic under palm trees" where you can experience the true value of Ayurveda. I will be back!

Beautiful place to stay,especially for Ayuveda treatment.Warm weather ,always sunny with temprature around 30o.
Good/safe ressort/accomodation very close to the sandbeach(ocean with warm water 27o ,good for walking on morning or evening (spectacular sundowns!

I have been here twice beofore and this year I decided to visit Lotus Villa togethere with my wife.
We stayied 2 weeks and we had a very good experience: staff very expert  and professional offered us a relaxing ayurveda treatments.
The Doctors ( ladies) very professional assisted us whenever we needed their help: very gentle and always available. Thank you!
We came here mainly for loosing some kilos and at the end we happy with the result.
Therefore we did not complain about the "dimension" of the food served for our meals!
Anyway it is corrcet to make evidence about few things that this time I did not like too much:
- the high percentage of german speaking persons ( 90%) made the duration of meals at table little bit boring... since we do not speak German
- this time I stayed in one room were the privacy was very  very very limited...
- the sun loungers ( beds) definetly need to be replaced!!!!
- the wi-fi system is always very much weak , as it was before..
Beside that everything was fine.
We'll hope to be back again at Lotus Villa.

Real Ayurveda Treatment

I have to start mentioning that it is not a holiday resort. Before you decide to go, educate yourself about Ayurveda. Lotus Villa is certified Ayurveda hospital, where you will receive treatments, and the food based on your individual needs, as prescribed by the local ayurvedic doctor.

What you may like:
-	The location is right on the beach, so there are rooms from which you see the ocean directly, and it is about 20 meters far.
-	The swimming pool has warm water cca 29C, and does not smell like chlorine bath
-	Food in the resort involves lots of vegetables and fruit, for meet you get fish and chicken. It is very tasty for most people. 
-	Staff is very friendly, always trying to help and deal with your individual needs
-	The treatments include mostly massages with oil prepared based on your individual needs as prescribed by the doctor.
-	All the medications and oils used in are prepared in the resort, the same goes for many of the vegetables used in the kitchen, which grow in the local gardens 
-	The resort is guarded 24/7, so you feel safe at all times.

What you may not like, and be aware of:
-	Most of the staff members have very limited command of English, there are only few main long-term employees who speak well.  Many of the therapist do not speak English, and therefore there can be many misunderstandings. This applies to any of your requests, or specific needs. For example, having problems with your neck spine, and not wanting them to massage this part of your body, or not applying so much pressure, can be a big problem. 

-	Most of the therapists do not understand the human body, and are only taught by learning the massage movements. Needless to say, they do not know enough about Ayurveda, and your individual needs in this respect. 

-	The separation between the resort garden, and the beach is with wire fence. Behind the fence many of the so-called Beach Boys are operating. Coming to the fence, and trying to sell you just anything. At times this can be very annoying as you try to relax, and they purposely walk back and forth to grab your attention. They are not shy to yell at you to come closer to the fence to speak to them. 

-	The beautiful long and wide beach Infront of the resort is covered with plastic. I was there in September, when the ocean is still rough, and all the mess from the ocean is brought by the big waves on to the beaches. Honestly, you feel like crying seeing that. Even more so, when you visit the local Turtle saving station, which is about 500 meter walk on the beach from the resort, and see the turtles who cannot submerge anymore, because they have eaten so much plastic. Problem is, Sri Lanka does not have functional waste management system, so all the garbage ends up in the rivers which bring it in the Ocean. 

It needs to be said for the sake of the resort staff that they are all very nice people trying to make their living. They want to help you, and they do anything to make you feel better. I want to thank them for all the great care they have provided me with during my stay. You are all in my heart. 

Message for the management:

-	Paying your therapist and staff in general 70-90 EUR per month is a disgrace to them, and to your customers as well who pay you around EUR 200/day. You count with your customers paying tips, so your employees can live. The right wage is not the minimum people are willing to work for, but rather the maximum the employer is able to pay…
-	Teach your therapists English, and do not try the isolate them from your customers.  
-	Teach your therapist the human physiology
-	Educate your therapists more about Ayurveda. I heard from high ranked official at the resort, when I came up with all the above that, you do not teach them, because they all would want to be doctors. That is frankly very stupid approach.
-	Do all the above, and your resort will be constantly full, because your employees and your customers will be happy. 

I write this review hoping that things can improve for the sake of the customers, employees and the owners. I would love to come back, and see things have got better, because the potential is huge!

I have spent 4 weeks in Lotus Villa and in this review I will mention what you may and may not like at this resort.
