Green Peace Inn

Breath, movement and coastal calm

Sri Lanka Weligama paid

Weligama Bay sets the scene for a retreat shaped by movement, breath and thoughtful food. Since 2017, Green Peace Inn has brought together yoga, meditation, breathwork and time for personal reflection in a welcoming beachfront setting. Mornings unfold in a first-floor shala with yoga, meditation and breathwork; at sunset, practice moves to the rooftop for Yin yoga. Between sessions, there are cosy spaces for downtime and the shoreline close by, while Weligama town is a short tuk-tuk ride away. Meals are fully vegan and gluten-free, with no refined sugar, and draw on seasonal local ingredients, organic when possible. The centre also places importance on its local community, employing a team from the area. With air-conditioned rooms, Wi-Fi and a café and restaurant on site, Green Peace Inn suits travellers who want a guided retreat with nourishing meals and a relaxed coastal setting. Retreat schedules and lengths vary, so confirm the details for your dates before booking.
