Our Vision

OUR VISION

Niyagama House Yoga Retreats

We love what we do, and we do what we love

Here are some words about us,

so that you can understand better

WHY we did create Niyagama House,

followed by some comments of

happy guests who stayed with us.

Niyagama House Yoga Retreats
Prasad in our organic Garden

The Vision

We want to offer a place, where you can relax, get in touch with nature and get in touch with yourself.

A place where you can unwind, get new inspirations, and eat healthy food while enjoying barefoot luxury.

A place full of good energy, that respects nature, uses solar power, and offers vegetables from its own organic garden.

A place where less is more, where you can connect with the Sri Lankan culture, and where you can dive into the Buddhist wisdom that the people living here do follow.

The Creation

When the knowledge of hospitality and construction is combined with the knowledge about architecture, organizing, and yoga, something beautiful can be created.

We spent two years of our lives to create Niyagama House. When finding the spot with this beautiful 360 degrees round view, it was still a tea plantation, all the way to the hilltop.

After two years with sometimes up to 60 people working on building this special place, and after many ceremonies for good luck and success on the way, we opened it just after Christmas 2012.

A special Ceremony

The Mission

We strive to offer the best, personalized service to all of our guests.

We use our different talents in the best way possible in order to keep the good energy of Niyagama House alive.

We mindfully try to always create the best work-life balance for our team.

And while realizing this we try to respect nature as much as we possibly can.

Happy Guests about their Stay

The Place

Paradise
Finally I found this wonderful place where I could really come to rest. The daily yoga classes with Elke were wonderful and I learned a lot.
The rooms are beautiful and equipped with everything your heart desires. Every day the staff made them new even in the evening and it smelled very fresh. The massages were great and relaxing. All the staff were very attentive, friendly and professional. I had a wonderful time and will be back :) Thank you Elke!

The Rooms

We loved the rooms, simple but elegant, thoughtfully designed. The views are great, the common spaces are lovely.

 

There is tremendous attention to detail.

From a happy Day Guest

Niyagama house is a wonderful experience. First of all the colonial-style house situated on top of a hill -- such a quaint beautiful location! And even more so when you swim in their big infinity pool which stretches into a quiet valley full of bushes, trees and all kinds of birds! They come to drink and swim here. Which indeed makes the place kind of a paradise for nature and bird lovers.
