Stories from Ypsylon

We have changed the location and made everything a little brighter, more modern and friendlier. The reception area is open and colourful. A lounge corner made of organically shaped wood invites you to chill out. We have artistically captured the bar with the unmistakable view of our bay. The bar is backlit in the evening.

Shortly after sunset, the sky turns a breathtaking shade of pink.

From October, our completely redesigned and expanded Ayurveda area awaits you. Due to overwhelming demand, we will have additional treatment rooms, baths and relaxation rooms over two floors. The building will be constructed from locally produced, specially fired clay bricks and will therefore be modelled on the construction of our existing Ayurveda building.

The path to our Ayurveda restaurant leads through the idyllic garden. This is reserved for our Ayurveda guests. It offers Dosha-appropriate dishes in buffet form. In our main restaurant in the front part of the Ypsylon Resort, our guests enjoy international, regional and German dishes daily between 11 am and 9 pm in addition to […]

The same yet somehow different natural spectacle in front of the Ypsylon Resort every evening.

Shortly before the end of the main season, the sea is once again very calm in front of the Ypsylon Resort. Bathing and swimming just before sunset-glorious, what could be better?

Not all, but almost all of our Ayurveda team at the Ypsylon Resort. Therapists, doctors, cooks, waiters, helpers, medicine manufacturers and cleaners. They are all there for you, almost always and everywhere. Your Ayurveda Team

Have you discovered it yet? Throughout the resort in the public areas, and in some of the rooms, we have used regional craftsmanship in 3D modulations. The patterns all come from the local nature that surrounds us every day. Here you can see our sunset, which we can also watch live every day directly in […]

At the Ypsylon Resort, we still fish, grow and harvest our own fish and prepare it freshly in true organic quality. The langoustines come from our own fishing fleet and are brought directly from the harbour to the kitchen early in the morning. Limes, parsley, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, chilli and cucumbers come from our own […]

A very good morning to everyone. It’s still a bit hazy, but it looks like it’s going to be a very sunny day. The sea is calm and clear and there’s a light breeze, lovely.

We wish you a wonderful and above all tropical good morning. 32 degrees, the sun is already shining through in some places, the sea is calm and clear. A perfect day awakens, breakfast and then off into the sea or whatever else you have planned for today.

Our team from the Ayurveda Centre at the Ypsylon Resort. Not all of them, but a large part of the team is dedicated to your health. We offer concentrated expertise in naturopathy, relaxation and natural beauty every day, even on public holidays. Come by and let yourself be pampered.

The Ypsylon Resort was built on a plot of over 5 hectares and, with its current 39 rooms, offers more than enough space for all guests and visitors. Our newly designed lobby is more than 600 square metres in size and invites you to read, inform yourself and stroll around.

The beach is back, the sun is blazing, the sea is clear and calm – what more could you want? The Ypsylon Resort stands for relaxation, recreation, delicious cuisine and traditional Ayurveda.

Every evening, always between 18:25 and 18:35, the sun sets directly in front of the Ypsylon Resort. And when there are no clouds, this is a breathtaking, recurring spectacle of unrivalled beauty.

At the Ypsylon Resort Ayurveda Centre you will be warmly welcomed, lovingly cared for and excellently treated. Come along and enjoy a wellness treatment, a whole day of relaxation or even a cleansing treatment over several days.

At the Ypsylon Resort, we spoil our guests in two restaurants. One is reserved for our Ayurveda guests, who should eat according to their energy type during their cure. The food is almost always served in buffet style and marked accordingly so that every guest can immediately recognise what they should and should not eat. […]

Shortly after sunset, it stays light in Sri Lanka for about 30 minutes and then it can get pitch black. The lights come on and you can end the evening relaxing in our restaurant with delicious local and international specialities, all made from regional ingredients.

The restaurant was also included in the major renovation. It was re-tiled, freshly painted, the bar was remodelled and extended and new lamps and a sound system for tropical and contemporary sounds were installed. New seat cushions on the chairs round off the redesign. The Ypsylon Resort restaurant is open daily from 7am to 11pm […]

Like every year, our beach is sometimes more and sometimes less available due to the monsoon and tides. Sand is currently being washed up again and is increasingly covering our surf protection and more and more fine sandy beach is returning to Ypsylon Resort.

Our unique natural spectacle, which is repeated every evening and invites you to linger: The sunset directly in front of the Ypsylon Resort is always enchanting. Enjoy this event with a delicious homemade cocktail and watch as the fireball seemingly sinks into the sea.

After 44 years, we have extensively refurbished, restored, extended and renovated the resort for the first time.

The monsoon is coming to an end and the weather is improving day by day. Our pool has been re-tiled, extended to become an overflow pool, there are now two steps that slope gently into the water and four jacuzzis in the seating area. Even in sweltering heat, it can no longer heat up and […]

More and more holidaymakers are also taking an Ayurveda cure at the Ypsylon Resort. One component of a successful cure is nutrition, which is why we have our own restaurant with an adjoining show kitchen and specially trained chefs. Only food and drinks based on Ayurvedic recipes are served there. The dishes are presented in […]

There are many forms of Ayurvedic treatment, one of which is Kati Vasti. A dough made from lentils is moulded into a ring and applied to the affected areas and pressed lightly to create a connection between the body and the ring. Kati Vasti is mostly used for back pain, sciatica or slipped discs. A […]

Our Ypsylon Resort has been open again since September and shines in new splendour.

The Ypsylon Resort in Beruwala, Sri Lanka has been extensively renovated and remodelled.

The forehead oil infusion, also known as Shirodhara, has a long tradition at the Ypsylon Resort. The herbal oil, which is based on sesame oil, is produced by hand in our manufactory in a very elaborate process. After a certain storage period, when it is ready for use, it is heated in a bowl and […]

Ayurvedic pulse diagnosis is carried out with the simplest of means and is a genuine alternative to the anamnesis of Western medicine. Our doctors can use the pulse alone to feel old illnesses, current complaints and any symptoms that may occur later and provide information about them. The pulse is measured at various points on […]

A turtle always returns to the place where it was born to lay its own eggs. Our beach at Ypsylon Resort is obviously very popular with these animals. Every year we have up to 10 clutches with an average of 100 eggs. We carefully protect them with barriers and wait until the first rascals hatch. […]

You will find native mahogany all over our grounds. The wood of this tree species is largely resistant to weather influences and pest infestation. It is therefore very popular for use in construction. However, our own carpenter also processes the leftovers and offcuts resulting from the growth of the tree and uses them to conjure […]

The diving boat has been lowered into the water, the sea has calmed down and the beach is gradually returning. Such a calm sea is still the exception at this time of year. As a result, the sediments and turbulence from the natural surf settle and the water becomes increasingly clear. This is ideal for […]

Who actually knows our orchid landscape around the pool area? Protected from the wind and surf, we have grown various types of orchids on our temple trees, among other things.

The sea is currently very calm, which significantly improves visibility even in deeper areas. Let’s go diving, the season […]

Hooray, the beach is coming back! The current has changed in the last few days and the beach is slowly returning to our bay. If it continues at the rate of the last few days, it will probably completely cover our bay in the next two weeks and thus noticeably reduce the surf. The new […]

The new season can begin. We have carried out extensive renovation work over the last few months. In particular, we have remodelled and renovated the front garden and laid new lawns. The ageing old beach lighting has been replaced with new colonial-style columns. We have now created a strip of sand in the garden area […]

Just in time for the start of the new season, we have redesigned our seating areas in the palm forest right by the water. From now on, you can drink, eat, socialise or simply gaze dreamily at our small island in front and the lighthouse island behind it. The water is just a stone’s throw […]

We will soon be setting up our popular Ypsylon heart again, just in time for the start of the main season. The backdrop is perfect for taking holiday photos during the day, at night or ideally at sunset. You can simply sit directly in the heart or stand next to or in front of it. […]
