In total there are 9 rooms for around 25 adults; all rooms have attached bathrooms with hot water and are equipped with mosquito nets. The units can be booked together or separately. We have our own open-air yoga hall, a sea-sand restaurant, a tropical outdoor swimming pool, as well as our own Ayurveda centre where we provide Ayurveda consultants with a traditional on-call Ayurveda doctor/therapist, Ayurveda treatments, and massages, thus making it an ideal retreat, also for yoga groups, meditation retreats, corporate training, or family get-togethers. --- To meet the needs of guests who stay longer, we have created two spacious, self-contained villas with a pantry, dining, and living area in addition to the bedrooms. The pantry has a fridge, an electric kettle, and an assortment of cutlery and crockery, and basic cooking facilities can be provided on request. The villas are located within 100 m of the common living area, swimming pool, and sea-sand restaurant. This lovely two-storey villa has two bedrooms for a total of 5 guests, a living space, dining room, and kitchenette on the ground floor, and a lovely upper level for relaxation, work, or as an extra sleeping space. On one side, the estuary can be seen through the coconut trees, and on the other, the Urubokka Oya is flowing down to the sea. The real treat is to stargaze on a clear night.

Other things to note * Please note this is a no-plastic zone and we do not encourage the use of single-use plastics. Please be kind enough to take back any disposable plastic you bring with you, as we do not have easy access to a plastic recycling centre. Fresh filtered water is provided in your cottage as well as in the common areas for you to fill up your reusable water bottles. * Preserving the natural environment is important to us. We have retained the natural topography and vegetation that is unique to each property, and have avoided clearing land when building our lodges. We have tried to use modern methods of environmental construction and consistently practice sustainable energy use. * Back of Beyond properties leave a major proportion of the land untouched, or rejuvenated as a wild habitat where needed. We are discovering how critical these ‘wild pockets’ are as refuges for wildlife, as man increasingly takes control of the natural landscape - even in the most remote areas. Please note that it is best to observe any wildlife silently with minimal disturbance to their natural activities. * By making the reservation, guests have acknowledged and accepted that they are entering a wildlife area, staying in an unfenced property, and that their stay / tours conducted might take or bring them into contact or vicinity of wild animals (including snakes, spiders, etc.). Back of Beyond staff members, associates and/or agents cannot be held liable for any encounters involving the behavior of wild animals. Thus, the stay and entry into the wildlife area and Back of Beyond property is at your own risk and responsibility. * We also have pet dogs and 5 goats on the property.
