Mangrove Villa

I loved Mangrove Villa so much that after starting my Sri Lankan trip there, I changed my plans and came back at the end because I missed it. The peaceful, scenic setting was ideal for practice, and Roshan and Silva are great teachers. The food was the best of my whole trip, fresh and nutritious. Roshan was also a wonderful host. He showed me beautiful spots that weren't as touristy and gave me useful advice for my travels. Thank you for all that, Roshan. If you're considering this yoga retreat, just book it!

The people working here made me feel comfortable and at home, and they're what I loved most. Shoutout to Roshan, Rahman, and Silva. I'll be back! I booked a three-day package with two meals and two yoga sessions each day, a 60-minute Ayurvedic massage, a free temple tour, and use of a kayak at no extra charge. Everything exceeded my expectations. Two professional teachers led the yoga, and I felt more focused with each session. The food was fantastic, with a different menu every day. The massage was the best I've had, and left my body feeling free of tension and pain. Being right by the lagoon made the kayak a great bonus. There are also two adorable, friendly dogs who love being petted. If you're scared of dogs or have allergies, they are well trained and don't bark or run up to you. I feel lucky I found this little paradise on Google Maps.

A relaxing place surrounded by nature, with a nice room, great massage, yoga, and healthy food. I felt really well looked after here. RHOSAN, the owner, was always available and willing to help with anything. There's also a canal where we took some beautiful tours. I'll definitely come back.

I left feeling pushed into buying Ayurveda products I didn't need. The owner suggested something was wrong with my body, then pressured me into spending nearly $500 on them.
