Weekend Excursions

At The Sapphire, we recognise the importance of breaking away from routine. Moving to our serene partner locations provides a refreshing change of scenery, stimulating the mind and fostering independence. Experiencing diverse landscapes helps to broadens horizons and encourages connection. By temporarily leaving behind daily stressors, clients can find a conducive environment for reflection and personal growth, reinforcing therapy lessons and promoting lasting recovery.

A Selection of Beautiful Villas and Golden Beaches on Sri Lanka’s West and South Coasts

We are spoiled in Sri Lanka with a large number of beautiful private villas and miles of golden beaches, often empty - the perfect locations for total rest and relaxation.

Rukgala Retreat

A Lakeside Yoga and Wellness Retreat on the Shores of the Victoria Lake

Rukgala Retreat is a private yoga and wellness retreat space that sits in the treeline next to the Victoria Reservoir in the hills close to Kandy. It is the perfect place to combine rest with easy adventure - perhaps paddle-boarding or wild swimming, a short  evening hike, or a calming yoga class followed by a massage.
