Details

Join us on the South Coast of Sri Lanka for a Yoga Escape to rock your body and soul. It’s a tropical island escape! Join us in Sri Lanka for a week of transformational yoga, endless sunshine, and even better company. A retreat for your body and soul! We basically created an escape that is our idea of a perfect vacation. A bucket list destination surrounded by water, totally immersed in culture, with incredible food, all while doing yoga every damn day. This 6-day, 5-night escape will leave your mind refreshed, your body renewed, and your soul revived. The South Coast of Sri Lanka is known for its coconut palms, friendly waves, quaint fishing villages, and the best hidden beaches. Sandy bays and brilliantly blue water, fine sand between your toes, and palm trees overhanging the shore. On the secluded beaches of Sri Lanka, you will quickly forget the rest of the world. When you aren’t soaking up the Sri Lankan rays by the pool, the South Coast has so much to offer. Visit the local markets and smell the aroma of Sri Lankan spices and curries, surf on the most friendly of waves, explore old colonial buildings and towns, or relax in the villa with a book in hand overlooking Koggala Lake. The list goes on. So much to do before, during, and after, making your retreat a long, extended cultural escape.

Location

Ahangama, Sri Lanka

Ahangama, Sri Lanka, is a laid-back coastal town on the island’s southern shore, known for its golden beaches, palm-fringed shores, and relaxed surf culture. Once a quiet fishing village, it has become a popular destination for surfers drawn to its consistent waves and scenic spots like Kabalana Beach. Beyond surfing, Ahangama offers yoga retreats, boutique stays, and charming cafés that capture the area’s slow-paced tropical vibe. Surrounded by lush coconut groves and located close to historic Galle and other southern gems, Ahangama blends authentic Sri Lankan life with a growing creative and wellness community.

Modest luxury where every element has been carefully considered to offer space, privacy and tranquillity. Kurulu Bay is modern luxury, yet connected with nature and has unparalleled views of the Koggala Lake. Every detail and moment has been thought of to bring a sense of calm and ease from the moment you arrive. Spread throughout the property are three unique clusters of accommodation, each with its own character and architectural style. With treehouses, suites, cottages and garden suites. There is something for everyone at Kurulu Bay, a home away from home. The Tree Houses touch lightly onto the steep hillside, floating over the views, while the Cottages respect and evoke the vernacular to combine with modern design philosophies. The Garden Suites cascade down with the gentle landscape, a modern and minimalist statement nestled into the terrain.

Testimonials

“The greatest retreat that I’ve ever down before! The people, the food, the living in the nature, all this high end vibe together offered can’t have enough, just as some beautiful days to nourish the body and mind. Highly recommended.”

Katrina, Australia

“The Nectar Yoga Retreat in Marrakech was the most amazing experience. All aspects worked so well. The trips were well organised and gave an extra dimension, so I really felt I got a taste of Marrakech as well as some wonderful yoga sessions. The venue and food were perfect. Amy was an incredible host, looking after us all so well, Amy’s kindness and enthusiasm for making this special for us all was clear to see. I will definitely do another retreat with Nectar in the future .”

Karla, United Kingdom

“What a wonderful place for a yoga retreat! The riad was a beautiful, idyllic spot in and above the bustling streets and souks of Marrakesh. The food was as delicious and nourishing as expected. Amy is a fantastic teacher, so welcoming, funny and kind-hearted, immersing us in her wonderful, twice daily yoga classes. A thoroughly enriching and rejuvenating 5day retreat, capped off by 2 day trips (into the Atlas mountains and the Agafay desert camp), both of which were astonishing. Thank you for the experience, Amy, I found my inner peace.”

Robert, United Kingdom

“I have done two retreats with Nectar and have so enjoyed both of them! My first retreat was in France in 2023, and everything from the setting to the food was absolutely amazing. The yoga is always high quality and Amy and Janet are such good teachers that even a yoga newbie like me can succeed and find joy in the practice. My second retreat was over the New Year holiday 2024-2025 in Sweden. The setting was a rural eco farm, complete with a cold plunge lake, sauna, and more delicious food than I could handle. And of course, wonderful yoga. Can’t speak highly enough about Nectar! Go on a retreat!!!”

Jon-Michael, United States

“This particular venue was so unique and as stunning as it was serene. Nectar Flows Yoga retreats with Amy and Janet are so much more than a week of yoga. It is a week of healthy reset from normal life, impeccable fresh, creative prepared food that you do not have to make a single decision about. Every meal is a sumptuous surprise. Double sessions of 2 hour yoga fly by with thoughtful intention and inconspicuous individual care. Plenty of relaxing free time as well as planned excursions fill the hours in between. All of this is enhanced by the variety of people you share the experience with. I went to France with my daughters and girlfriend, 3 months later came to this one in Italy with my husband who had never taken a yoga class. I would also attend a future retreat alone without hesitancy. Returning home to “real life” is can be difficult, but you will find yourself refreshed and invigorated....and possible planning your next one! Nectar Flows Yoga retreats with Amy and Janet are addictive!”

Mary, United States

“I went on the Greece retreat earlier this year. I 100% recommend going on a Nectar Retreat. There was the perfect balance between yoga and relaxation. Our teachers, Amy and Becky, were incredible - guiding us through vinyasa, yin and various workshops. I really deepened my yoga practice but was able to do it at a pace that wasn’t overwhelming and I felt so safe in Amy and Beckys hands. The food was delicious - healthy, fresh, vegetarian food and incredible vegan treats. The week was heaven on earth. Thank you Nectar!”

Grace, Ireland

“Another amazing yoga retreat with Amy and Janet. Not only are they great instructors, but they are lovely people who make each guest feel valued and special. I can’t recommend Nectar highly enough.”
