Hotels claiming to provide spa and ayurveda facilities are common in Sri Lanka, but standards vary enormously. It is important, too, to decide your priorities - these may vary from prolonged Ayurvedic treatment from a qualified practitioner - a full two-week detox to regenerate mind and body - or just a hankering for a nice massage or two in restful surroundings. Red Dot's list of spa and Ayurveda accommodation in Sri Lanka is a good place to start. The accommodation listed offers traditional treatments, often in luxurious settings.
