There are retreat venues, and then there are places that make your participants say "how did you find this?" from the moment they arrive.

Into the Blue sits in a private jungle garden in Unakuruwa — a quiet fishing village on Sri Lanka's south coast between Tangalle and Hiriketiya. Three beaches are within walking distance. The yoga shala is open-air, built under the trees, with birdsong and ocean air as the backdrop to every class. The property has been hosting international guests since 2018 and has an exceptional reputation for warmth, authenticity, and natural beauty.

Your participants will not be disappointed.

Our purpose-built open-air shala sits in the heart of the jungle garden. It accommodates up to 20 practitioners comfortably, with high ceilings, natural airflow, and the sounds of the surrounding nature as your soundtrack. Available for morning practice, evening Yin, workshops, and breathwork sessions. Quality yoga mats, block, bolsters and. a massage table available on request.

Into the Blue sleeps up to 22 guests across 8 rooms on the main property plus the Beach House — all within the property or a short walk from the shala:

Main property — 8 rooms:

• 2 Island Cottages — king bed + single bed, en-suite bathroom, private jungle balcony — up to 3 guests sharing

• 2 Ceylon Suites — queen beds, private terraces — single or shared occupancy

• La Maison — two-bedroom private villa, ideal as a teacher's residence — up to 4 guests

• Colonial Villa — 2 rooms with queen beds, the most characterful space on the property — up to 4 guests

Beach House — 7 minutes walk:

• 2 self-contained apartments with queen beds — up to 4 guests sharing

Total capacity:

• Up to 22 guests sharing

• Up to 12 guests in private occupancy

Full property buyouts mean your group has the entire space to themselves — no other guests, no interruptions. The lead trainer can choose their preferred room closer to the time.

Into the Blue works exclusively with Harmuni’s, an exceptional vegan chef whose food has become one of the highlights of the retreat experience for past groups.

We offer:

• Breakfast only — fresh, locally sourced, served in the jungle garden each morning

• Breakfast and dinner — a full day of nourishment, allowing your participants to focus entirely on the retreat without having to think about food

Lunch is typically free time, giving participants space to explore local restaurants, visit the beach, or rest.

All dietary requirements are accommodated. Menus are discussed and agreed in advance with your group's needs in mind.

Into the Blue is the right venue if you're looking for:

• A property with genuine character and natural beauty — not a resort or hotel

• An intimate setting where your group has the space to themselves

• A location that combines jungle, ocean, yoga, and surf in one place

• A team that understands retreat logistics and takes care of the details

• A price point that allows you to offer an exceptional experience at an accessible cost for your participants

It's not the right fit if you need a large conference-style space, air-conditioned studios, or urban convenience. We are a jungle retreat, and we make no apologies for it.

We accept retreat bookings year-round with a minimum of 4 nights. November to March is peak season and books up quickly — if you're planning a retreat during these months, we recommend reaching out at least 6 months in advance.

May to October offers excellent availability, lush green surroundings, and a quieter, more intimate atmosphere — increasingly popular with experienced retreat leaders who want emptier beaches and a slower pace for their groups.
