Beyond formal Ayurveda, Sri Lanka has plenty of spas and massage places offering affordable treatments. After a long bus ride, a hike or a day on the board, a massage is an easy and inexpensive treat.

What is on offer

You will find Ayurvedic oil massage, general relaxation and deep-tissue work, plus foot and head massages. Beach towns often have small, casual spots alongside hotel spas.

Prices and quality

Massages cost a fraction of Western prices, though quality varies. A recommendation from your guesthouse usually beats picking a place at random off the street.

Book smart

Confirm the treatment and price before you start, and speak up about pressure and problem areas. Hotel and dedicated spas tend to be more consistent than roadside signs.
