After a day of hiking, water sports or biking around the island, having an Ayurvedic spa is the best way to relax both the body and mind. An aura of utter tranquility is created through sweet scents and soothing music alongside the gentle massage. The practice of Ayurveda goes back to 1500 B.C., and the name translates to mean the science of longevity. Almost every aspect of the treatment has a natural and raw source, from roots, flowers and barks to honey, milk and gold. Popular treatments for wellness include head massages, steam inhalation, head oil baths, milk rice treatments, neck and shoulder massages and herbal flower baths.
There are also many other spa treatments available all over Sri Lanka, from reflexology to deep tissue massage.
