Nestled in nature, the Roman Ayurveda Lake Resort is a serene paradise by the lake. It's the perfect setting to find your inner balance and harmonise body and mind with the help of Ayurveda and Yoga.
Directly by the lake, surrounded by a mangrove forest, the privately managed Roman Ayurveda Lake Resort awaits you as an Ayurveda hideaway with boutique character. This is the perfect place to find your inner balance amidst stunning nature, and with the help of Ayurveda and Yoga, rebalance the disharmonies of body, mind, and soul. A stay at the Roman Ayurveda Lake Resort means: highly personalised care, love for nature, ambiance, design, and a touch of luxury.
Ayurveda guests receive dosha-appropriate, Ayurvedic menus recommended by the Ayurveda doctor. The fresh vegetables are mostly sourced from local farmers, and white fish and chicken are also recommended foods. On request, dining by the lake with a dream view can be arranged (weather-dependent). Travel companions can enjoy international cuisine à la carte.
A team of 2 Ayurveda doctors and experienced therapists take care of the Ayurveda guests at the Ayurveda Center - the heart of the hotel. Daily treatments are conducted in the 4 semi-open treatment rooms. The individually tailored Ayurveda treatments include, for example, Abhyanga full-body massage and Shirodhara forehead oil flow. An Ayurvedic sauna and steam bath complement the facilities. The herb garden provides ingredients for the production of our own Ayurvedic herbal medicine. Yoga hall for your therapy-accompanying yoga and meditation, weekly lectures on Ayurveda and Ayurvedic cooking demonstrations. Acupuncture is available on-site (approx. €9 (approx. UK £8 / USD $10) per treatment).
The outdoor pool with sun loungers invites you to relax, and the pristine natural landscape is perfect for leisurely walks or adventurous bike rides. The coastal town of Balapitiya is just a 10-minute walk or a 2-minute Tuk Tuk ride away. A shuttle to the nearby beach, about 5 minutes away, is included once daily. Transfers to the sister hotel, Roman Life Ayurveda Resort, can be arranged for a fee. More extensive excursions such as to Kandy, Galle, or Colombo are happily organised by the resort team (for a fee).
8 suites with a balcony or terrace with lake view, including 3 elegant Caesar Suites on the ground floor and 5 luxurious Emperor Suites on the 1st floor with a Jacuzzi. All suites are lovingly detailed and equipped with a shower/WC (some with rain shower), hairdryer, air conditioning, TV, music system, minibar, and coffee/tea set. SGL are DB for single use. Enjoy Wi-Fi in the suites, by the pool, and in the garden.

Very beautiful hotel with a park-like garden and large pool surrounded by nature. Secluded from the hustle and bustle of Balapitiya, the small resort is located in the middle of the mangrove forests. The rooms (8 DBLs) are simple but lovingly furnished and the team is incredibly friendly, courteous and helpful. The food is very tasty, although not always 100 percent Ayruvedic. However, you can make your wishes known at any time, so we only ordered vegetables for the evening. The treatments were incredibly good for us and the team (doctor and therapists) are also very nice and responsive to our wishes. We left the hotel well rested and relaxed after 12 nights.

If you are looking for peace and relaxation, you are in very good hands here. First time taking an Ayuveda treatment. Many new impressions, which were competently supported by the friendly and always helpful staff. The ideal place for anyone looking for peace and seclusion.
