Company info

Indulge in restorative rejuvenation at Rukgala Retreat - our "shelter on the rock", situated in a beautiful and still pretty unknown part of Sri Lanka, 45 minutes from Kandy. A boutique hotel meets retreat space making the ideal sanctuary for yoga teachers, students and those just keen to escape and explore.

Property info

Rukgala Retreat is a small, yoga- and wellness-focused 'hotel' on the shores of the Victoria Lake in Digana, near Kandy. We've worked hard to fashion a beautiful space from an old crumbling house and, with just 8 bedrooms, take a lot of pride in offering our guests a warm and enriching time. We are not a strict retreat-centre but have found that guests keen to practice yoga, as well as explore this beautiful part of Sri Lanka, get the most out of time at Rukgala. For that reason we only offer packages that include group yoga classes, massage, hiking and all the delicious food we serve. We hope that appeals for you and look forward to seeing you at Ruk.

Neighborhood info

Rukgala lies around 45 minutes east of Kandy, pretty much in the middle of Sri Lanka. We're on thte shores of the Victoria Reservoir, lying in between small villages and other folks along the edge of the 'lake'. We're technically on the fringe of Sri Lanka's Dry Zone, but at an altitude of around 600m the weather is rarely uncomfortably hot. From Ruk you can see the peaks of The Knuckles Mountains and the tea estates that cover the foothills.
