Between treatments, the Bentota beach and the nearby river offer swimming, boat trips through the mangroves and calm-water watersports.
Choosing a place
Options run from luxury resorts to smaller dedicated Ayurveda centres. Decide first whether you want a relaxing spa feel or a stricter, results-focused programme.
