Yoga & Meditation

Yoga and meditation help to calm and still the minds body and senses. I designed a peaceful space in our Villa Svara garden for this purpose only. Feel free to use the space on your own or within a guided lesson. Private yoga or meditation classes are a great way to start your practice or to take it to the next level. I organize lessons in meditation by monks send from the resident monastery and yoga classes by experienced local teachers. The instructions will be given in English. If you have any specific yoga or meditation questions please Email me.

Sri Lankan Cooking

Experience the taste of Sri Lanka within a cooking class. I believe our Sri Lankan curries are the best in the world. We have vegan, vegetarian, fish and meat options. We go to the local market together and buy our ingredients fresh from the merchants. Afterwards, we head back to the kitchen and cook with my wife, who is definitely the better chef. She will teach you how to cook traditional Sri Lankan curries. At the end you will also learn how to eat like a real Sri Lankan, by using your fingers. You will love it.

Snorkeling

The ocean around Sri Lanka whispers tales of pirates and journeys of explorers and the Sri Lankan coral reefs are home to colorful maritime life forms. The waters of the Indian Ocean are crystal clear with a visibility of 20 meters (65 feet) and provide therefore ideal conditions for snorkeling. The reef is said to contain more species than the Great Barrier Reef. Let`s plunge into the warm waters and discover the sea life of Sri Lanka. We can rent your snorkeling equipment nearby.

Ayurveda Massage

An Ayurvedic Massage has tremendous benefits to your mind, body, skin and immune system. It involves large amounts of oil and a unique therapist sequence that relaxes and softens your tissues. An Ayurvedic Massage is more than just a pleasurable treatment. The joy of regular massages can help to reduce chronic pain, improve sleep habits and enhance the overall well-being. It brings harmony to body, mind and soul. Let me know if you request a soothing massage. Our Svara Villa offers a designated area for wellness treatments. The local therapists certify professional trainings and would be happy to make your stay even more enjoyable.

Village Tour

Let´s discover the village of Kosgoda, its paddy fields, spice merchants and markets. The people in Kosgoda are very kind and interested into your stories: where you come from, why you decided to come to Sri Lanka, if the food is tasty (especially the rice and curries) and what you like most about the island. I offer to walk with you, you can rent a bicycle or Tuk-Tuk. I think it is exciting to understand our living philosophy by chatting with our neighbors. Our village is filled with happiness, community work and religious customs. I invite you to witness true hospitality.

Turtle Watching

Kosgoda is particularly known for its sea turtle conservation projects operated by the Wildlife Protection Society of Sri Lanka. It was established in 1988 to protect Sri Lanka’s turtles from extinction. It is also very popular as all five species of sea turtles that visit Sri Lanka nest in Kosgoda. The care program aims to protect sea turtle eggs, to increase hatching rates but also to treat disabled sea turtles and weak ones. So if you are lucky, you can watch and escort hatched turtles on a moonlit beach on their way to the sea. This is definitely a once in a lifetime experience.

Canoe Trip

Kosgoda is a small town located at the coast, home to sea turtles, various birds, monkeys and squirrels which can be watched by land, sea and by the Kosgoda River. It has an incredibly beautiful lagoon, which is perfect for canoe trips. Once you started your canoe adventure, you will soon find that paddling becomes second nature and you will start to discover your surroundings. All the trips are private, just me paddling upfront showing the way and unfolding the beauty in front of your eyes. Watch colorful birds in the trees, water monitors napping in the mangroves, huge lotus flowers and the sky glowing during sunset.

Swimming & Bodyboarding

Kosgoda is known for its beautiful beaches. The coast is less than a five minute walk away from our Svara Villa. The beach is inviting you to wander around and to find exotic shells. The warm ocean calls for a swim and plunge in the waves. I think it is also time you have a bodyboarding adventure. Join a course with us and have fun playing in the waves. It is just a bit practice you need to manage a great ride all the way to the beach.
