This isn't just a yoga retreat — it's a full cultural journey across one of the most extraordinary countries on earth, with movement woven through every day.

Every morning begins with pilates or yoga led by Courtney — sometimes in the grounds of a heritage hotel, sometimes overlooking a misty mountain valley, sometimes beside an ancient rock fortress. No two settings are the same.

Between sessions the days open up into some of the most breathtaking experiences Sri Lanka has to offer — visiting 5 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, riding the iconic hill country train through tea estates, exploring ancient cave temples and rock fortresses, wandering the streets of a colonial fort city and swimming in natural pools beneath waterfalls.

Evenings wind down with restorative yin, sound healing or guided meditation. Courtney leads every session herself, keeping the group small so every guest receives genuine personal attention throughout the week.

All levels welcome — complete beginners to experienced practitioners. The movement practice adapts to the group.

Every morning in the Maldives begins with pilates overlooking the Indian Ocean — the kind of movement practice that feels completely different when you're surrounded by nothing but turquoise water and warm tropical air.

Evenings close with restorative yoga, yin or sound healing as the sun sets over the lagoon. The perfect rhythm for a genuine ocean reset.

With signature experiences from massages, private sound reset, swimming with sharks - it’s the ultimate island itinerary.

Sri Lanka: All breakfasts & dinners are included throughout the Sri Lanka leg. Lunches are your own to explore and take at your own pace.

Maldives: Half board is included — breakfast and dinner daily at Kandooma Resort's restaurants. Lunch is not included, giving you the freedom to eat as much or as little as you like during the day.

Dietary requirements are fully catered for across both destinations — just let us know at the time of booking.

This isn't a stay-in-one-place retreat. Sri Lanka takes you on a journey across one of the most diverse and breathtaking countries on earth:

· Colombo — arrival and orientation · Cultural Triangle — Sigiriya Rock Fortress, Dambulla Cave Temple, ancient ruins · Kandy — the hill capital, Temple of the Tooth, spice gardens · The iconic hill country train journey — one of the most beautiful train rides in the world · Ella — misty mountain town, Nine Arches Bridge, tea estate walks · Galle — colonial fort city, boutique stays, Indian Ocean views

5 UNESCO World Heritage Sites across the journey.

Kandooma Resort sits on its own private island in South Malé Atoll — just 35–40 minutes by speedboat from Malé international airport. White sand beaches, turquoise lagoons, a world-class house reef and a genuinely relaxed atmosphere that feels completely removed from everyday life.

After the movement and adventure of Sri Lanka, Kandooma is the perfect place to simply arrive, exhale and be still. You can choose between a Garden Villa, Beach Villa or Overwater Villa — each with its own level of Signature Experience inclusions.

After morning movement the Maldives days open up completely. Two complimentary dives (for certified divers) are included in your package also.

Snorkel the house reef, paddleboard across the lagoon, book your Signature Experience, or simply float in the Indian Ocean and do absolutely nothing. This time is entirely yours.

· Snorkelling — sea turtles, tropical fish and reef sharks on the house reef

· Stand up paddleboarding across the lagoon · Kayaking at sunrise or sunset

· Shark snorkelling excursion — Signature Experience for Beach and Overwater Villa guests

· Swimming and floating in the Indian Ocean

The transition from Sri Lanka to the Maldives is completely seamless. The Sri Lanka retreat ends in Colombo on September 22 — we fly together from Colombo (CMB) to Malé (MLE), a short 1.5-hour flight. A speedboat transfer from Malé takes you directly to Kandooma Resort in South Malé Atoll.

No complicated logistics. No stressful connections. Just one beautiful journey flowing into the next.
