My 7-day stay at Welikande was absolutely amazing. It started with warm welcome from Michael and his wife Tush and the rest just build on it. Location is exceptional, nice and clean rooms with all you need, practicing yoga at yoga shala with mind blowing view while listening to singing of birds is so relaxing experience.

LOVE IS THE FOUNDATION OF OUR HOME
Although Michael fell in love within 30 seconds, it took Tush 6 months to acknowledge their connection... they have been in love ever since.
“Welikande Estate is the ideal place for our guests to attend a yoga retreat in Sri Lanka. It is such a peaceful sanctuary for those seeking to make a beginning with a holistic lifestyle, through the practice of yoga and wellness treatments".
Tush’s grandfather was an Ayurvedic doctor, so she grew up in a family where this knowledge was inherited.
Come and stay with us, you will leave more joyful and have a greater connection with yourself…
