This time, it's the experience of a woman who travelled solo on an Ayurveda tour in Sri Lanka. I hope you find it useful!
The itinerary is for four nights and five days, with a budget of approximately ¥300,000.
To ensure women travelling solo could enjoy their trip with peace of mind, we arranged government-approved taxi charters for all transfers, providing support from airport pick-ups to sightseeing at various destinations.
The purpose of the trip is to fully enjoy Ayurvedic treatments and a resort stay in authentic Sri Lanka.
The location chosen for the stay was Negombo on the west coast, which could be reached immediately upon arrival.Jetwing Ayurveda PavilionsA secluded resort in the Matale Highlands near KandyAyu Marketis.
I spent my days immersed in Ayurveda at two locations with distinct environments.
This time, I shall recount my experiences in chronological order, interspersed with detailed descriptions of each facility and evocative portrayals of treatments and meals that appeal to all five senses.
First, I'll briefly summarise the itinerary.

Day 1: Arrival in Negombo ~ Commencement of stay at Jetwing Ayurveda Pavilions
Upon arrival at Bandaranaike International Airport in Sri Lanka, we proceeded to our resort in Negombo by pre-booked chartered car.
It is an excellent 30-minute drive from the airport, so you'll hardly feel any travel fatigue.
Jetwing Ayurveda Pavilions is an Ayurvedic-specialist hotel situated slightly removed from the bustle of the city centre. Upon passing through the gate, a tranquil space of healing instantly unfolded before us.
Upon passing through the reception building, a stone-built pool appears in the courtyard.
This pool, surrounded by villas, felt wonderfully open and airy, like an oasis amidst tropical flowers and trees.
The restaurant also overlooks the pool, and in the morning the sunlight reflecting off the water is dazzling.
The open-air design allows butterflies and dragonflies to occasionally drift in, creating a seamless connection with nature.

Twelve private villas are set within the lush grounds, each enclosed by its own wall and standing independently.
At reception, we were greeted with the traditional Gassho-style greeting, "Ayubowan!", and received a welcome drink infused with herbal aromas while completing the check-in formalities.
The staff are all cheerful and courteous, making it a reassuring experience even for women travelling alone.
Atmosphere of the rooms and facilities: I was shown to a single-occupancy villa called the Queen Pavilion.
What surprised me was that immediately upon entering the villa's front door, there was a treatment area equipped with two treatment beds side by side.

To have dedicated treatment rooms within the guest rooms is a truly luxurious feature unique to a hotel specialising in Ayurveda.

Beyond the treatment area lies the bedroom, separated by a small courtyard, featuring high ceilings and a ceiling fan, creating an open and airy space.
The interior is unified by natural furnishings that evoke the warmth of wood and earthen walls, featuring two single beds and a simple writing desk.
Only the bare essentials of furniture, such as a wardrobe, were present.
There is no television whatsoever; instead, guests can enjoy the greenery of the trees and the chirping of birds from the windows (apparently, the television has been deliberately omitted for the sake of a digital detox).
The bathroom features a shower and a large bathtub, making it perfect for soothing the weariness of travel.

The room's lighting is rather dim, but this meant that at night, the sounds of insects and the wind carried clearly, allowing me to drift off to sleep embraced by nature.
Following check-in, the first consultation with the assigned Ayurvedic physician was conducted.
A doctor in a white coat with a gentle smile takes your pulse and asks questions, offering advice such as, "Your digestive system is a little weak from the long journey, so today we'll have easily digestible meals." Jetwing has four Ayurvedic doctors on staff, and the one assigned to me was a veteran practitioner.
Based on the pre-provided consultation form (Japanese version available) and the state of my pulse, my dosha constitution is diagnosed, and the treatment programme and dietary menu for my stay are determined.
"Given you'll likely be tired from travelling tonight, I suggest a lighter treatment without oil," I was advised, and so on the evening of my arrival, I opted only for a gentle herbal steam bath and a foot massage.
Having a dedicated therapist come to your room to perform the treatment meant you could rest in bed immediately afterwards, which was most welcome.
The herbal scent carried by the steam permeated my skin, and as my soles were thoroughly kneaded, warmth spread from the core of my body, inducing deep relaxation... My legs, swollen from the long flight, felt refreshed and light.
After the treatment, I dined in my room with room service. The easily digestible menu featured vegetable-based Sri Lankan home cooking.
Brown rice gruel with pumpkin purée, accompanied by colourful side dishes served on small plates: stir-fried moringa leaves and dressed beetroot salad.
The seasoning is restrained and gentle, yet the natural umami of the ingredients comes through subtly.
What particularly moved me wasKichadiIt was a porridge made by simmering beans and rice, with a subtle aroma of cumin and ginger that warmed the stomach with its delicious flavour.
By the time we had finished our deeply nourishing dinner, which was truly medicinal cuisine, both body and mind had settled, and we slept soundly on our arrival night.
Day 2: Immersion in Ayurveda at Jetwing Ayurveda Pavilions
Day two at Jetwing. Awoken just after five in the morning by birdsong. I was heading to the free yoga class starting at six. Stepping out of the villa into the still-dim light and making my way to the yoga hall, I found several guests already had their mats laid out.
The instructor, a local Sri Lankan, guides you gently in English at a leisurely pace. Waking the body through breathing techniques and sun salutations in the crisp air before dawn was truly invigorating. By around 7 o'clock when the lesson ends, the sun rises just in time, casting golden light into the open-air yoga space. Feeling the earth's energy throughout my entire body, I was able to start the day feeling refreshed in both mind and body.

After yoga, breakfast at the restaurant. As instructed by the Ayurvedic doctor.Dosha-Specific MenuA breakfast plate was prepared for me, said to be a meal that balances Vata (wind energy). Served alongside warm herbal tea, it featured herb porridge with gotu kola (centella asiatica), coconut chutney, and colourful tropical fruits such as papaya.
Porridge is a creamy rice porridge with a subtle hint of spice, gently soothing the stomach. The accompanying herb balls (medicinal herb dumplings) were delicately sweet, making them the perfect palate cleanser after the meal.
Shortly after breakfast, it was finally time for the full Ayurvedic treatment.
I have been informed that I am scheduled for a two-and-a-half-hour treatment starting at 8 o'clock, so I will change into the treatment gown and await the appointment.
Before starting, there was another brief consultation with the doctor, during which I reported on my condition this morning and how I felt after yoga. The doctor said, "The weather is fine today and the humidity is high, so you'll likely perspire quite easily."
"To ensure a thorough detox, I'll apply slightly firmer pressure during the massage," she said, making minor adjustments to the treatment on the spot.
It is very reassuring to have someone meticulously assess my condition each day and adjust the treatment accordingly.

Then began the synchronised Abhyanga (traditional full-body oil massage) performed by two therapists. Fragrant sesame oil was dripped onto the forehead.ShirodharaThen, warm oil continues to drip like a thread onto my forehead, and gradually my consciousness drifts into a meditative state...
During the full-body massage, you'll be thoroughly kneaded from head to toe with generous herbal oil, and you'll feel the stagnant lymph flow freely once more.
Occasionally, when the herbal ball (a cloth pouch filled with warmed medicinal herbs) was gently tapped against my body, the refreshing scents of ginger and lemongrass would rise, as if squeezing toxins from within. It was a blissful time, perfectly described as a 'heavenly treatment'.
During the treatment, I was in a dreamlike state, and immediately afterwards, my whole body felt light, with the stiffness in my shoulders and the heaviness in my lower back vanishing as if by magic.
After the treatment, the therapist advised, "Please do not wash off the oil immediately; allow it to absorb into your skin for at least an hour."
In AyurvedaLeaving the oil on the skin after treatment is also part of the therapy.it is said that they think.
This is to ensure the active ingredients in the oil are thoroughly absorbed through the skin; leaving it on for around two hours, if possible, is said to be even more beneficial.
So, even after returning to my room, I didn't shower straight away. Instead, I slipped on a bathrobe over my oil-covered body and spent a leisurely time on the terrace.
I expected it to feel sticky, but surprisingly it doesn't feel unpleasant at all; instead, it's quite pleasant, enveloped in the scent of herbs.
Before long, my body began to feel pleasantly warm and began to perspire, and I had the sensation that waste products were being expelled from within.
After about an hour and a half, we washed off the oil in the shower and headed for lunch. Naturally, the lunch menu was also tailored to each dosha.
My lunch plate for Vata types centred on warm vegetables, though the contents were more substantial than breakfast, featuring a well-balanced composition including lentil curry, red rice, and stir-fried greens.
My particular favourite isJackfruit Curry。
Curry made with unripe jackfruit is packed with dietary fibre and substantial, offering a satisfyingly meaty texture with its fluffy, tender bite.
The spices were mild, yet the coconut milk imparted a deep richness, resulting in a gentle flavour distinct from Japanese curry.
Jetwing Stay Programme
The afternoon was free time, so I spent it reading by the adjoining poolside and browsing the Ayurvedic pharmacy within the hotel. Jetwing Ayurveda Pavilions also has its own pharmacy selling proprietary Ayurvedic medicines, stocking the oils and herbal products used in treatments. The oral medication (herbal pills) prescribed by the doctor must be taken after every meal; I took the small brown pill-like medicine twice daily, morning and evening. Honestly, they were a bit bitter, but made solely from 100% natural herbs, I persevered for the sake of improving my constitution. In the evening, I had another consultation with the doctor. We discussed how I felt after the first day's treatments and planned tomorrow's session. Thanks to this meticulous daily care, I could entrust my body and mind without anxiety, even travelling solo.
In the evening, I enjoyed a healthy buffet at the restaurant with other guests.
In a dimly lit, atmospheric space, we enjoy vegetable-based warm soups, several types of curry, and salads by candlelight.
Each dish had a gentle flavour that was easy on the stomach, soothing the body after treatment.

After eatingToriparaWhile sipping on a digestive herbal tea, I exchanged information for a while with a fellow female customer who had also come from Japan.
On the second night, I truly felt from the bottom of my heart: "Sri Lanka solo trip – I'm so glad I took the plunge and came, even as a woman."
Day 3: Transfer to and check-in at the Ayu Piyasa Highland Resort
On this day, after breakfast, we will check out of Jetwing and head towards our next destination, Matale.
The driver of the chartered car was a Sri Lankan gentleman who spoke a little Japanese, and during the journey he told us all sorts of things about the local area.

The drive from Negombo to Matale takes about three hours. As we passed through the plains and entered the green hills, the surrounding forest grew denser and denser. With the rising altitude, the air turned crisp and cool. "So this is what the air feels like at a highland resort," I murmured, opening the window and taking a deep breath. The scent of trees and the earthy aroma filled my lungs.
Shortly after noon, we arrived at Ayu Piyasa. The sign at the entrance read "ආයුපොස" (Ayu Piyasa) in Sinhala and English, with "アーユピヤサ" written in smaller Japanese characters beneath it. Apparently, it is partly Japanese-run, and we had prior information that some staff could speak Japanese.
Upon entering the gate, the sight of cottages scattered across the vast grounds, surrounded by trees and flowers, unfolded before me. The sheer tranquillity drew an involuntary "Wow..." from me. The grounds are said to cover an area equivalent to one Tokyo Dome, yet there are only eight guest cottages.
Consequently, each building is generously spaced apart, creating the very atmosphere of a secluded forest retreat.

After checking in at the reception building while enjoying a cold herbal tea scented with cinnamon, the Japanese staff member, Ms M, gave us a detailed explanation of the facilities in fluent Japanese. "Here at Ayupiyasa, the owners are a Japanese-Sri Lankan partnership, and we strive to ensure Japanese guests can stay with peace of mind."
Wi-Fi is available in certain areas only, but do take the opportunity to unplug and relax. Indeed, the staff were warm and friendly, and despite being in a foreign country, I immediately felt at ease.
Below are the guest rooms at Ayupiyasa (antique-style rooms).

In keeping with the cool highland climate that requires no air conditioning, the interior features a simple, natural aesthetic.
This tranquil space features traditional Sri Lankan antique furniture, exuding the stately atmosphere of the British and Dutch colonial eras.
From the window, you can see greenery stretching out before you, and in the mornings, you can wake up to the sound of birdsong while still lying in bed.
No television is provided, allowing guests to cherish time spent away from the clamour of the city, focusing instead on their true selves.
Immediately after check-in, there was also a doctor's consultation on the day of arrival.
Dr Ayupiyasa is a quiet middle-aged man, and I felt reassured as the Japanese interpreter was also present.
A copy of the questionnaire completed at Jetwing had been provided, and they continued to share the same information.
Following the consultation and pulse diagnosis, it was suggested that "your Pitta (fire) seems slightly disturbed. Resting quietly in the cool environment of the highlands would be beneficial."
HereFollowing check-in, we immediately conduct a constitutional diagnosis to determine an individualised meal and treatment plan for the duration of your stay.It is said to be the style of doing so.
In my case, as a menu to suppress excess Pitta, I was advised, "Tomorrow, let's have a head spa using cooling herbal oil."
Given that Japanese individuals are involved in the ownership of the resort, the explanations were exceptionally thorough and easy to understand.
That afternoon, I only had light yoga and shirodhara to ease my body into the routine, with the rest of the time being free.
At an altitude of approximately 600 metres, the Matale Plateau grows even cooler in the evening, with a slight chill in the breeze.
Strolling through the resort, one finds a veritable paradise, with colourful flowers and herbs planted everywhere, and butterflies and small birds flitting about.
The property also features its own organic vegetable and herb garden. On the way back from the garden to the cottage, a beautiful sunset sky spread out before us.
In the distanceSigiriya RockThe silhouette of the mountains can faintly be glimpsed, making for a truly splendid location.
"From here, you can even make day trips to tourist spots, so you won't get bored during your stay," I remarked to the staff. "Oh yes, Kandy is just 40 minutes by car, and Sigiriya is about 90 minutes away. We'd be happy to arrange that for you if you wish."
This time, as my stay is brief, I shall not be utilising the sightseeing options; however, I found the resort's convenient location for sightseeing, despite being a highland retreat, to be one of Ayu Piyasa's charms.
Before dinner, I attended a meditation session held in the meditation hall on the grounds. In the quiet space, lit only by flickering candlelight, I focused gently on my breathing. The air was distinctly chilly, quite unlike the daytime, yet that crisp coldness served to sharpen my mind.
An owl hooted in the distance, and above, the sky was filled with stars. I was moved to realise how quiet and mysterious a highland night could be, and ended the day with a peaceful heart.
Day 4: Authentic Ayurveda and a sensory experience at Ayu Piyasa
Day 2 at Ayu Piyasa (Day 4 of the entire trip) – finally, a full day immersed in Ayurveda here too.
Around 6 o'clock in the morning, I went to have the 'herbal rice gruel' that is served at the restaurant.
This is a herbal porridge designed to gently awaken the stomach first thing in the morning, and it is indeed a wonderfully thick, porridge-like concoction. The faint aroma of ginger and cumin seemed to permeate my body upon waking. "This should leave the stomach feeling refreshed and enhance the treatment's effectiveness," I thought to myself as I drank it all down.
After that, I joined the yoga class from 7 o'clock. In the crisp mountain air, we warmed our bodies with sun salutations and centred our minds through meditation. Though the session was gentle and beginner-friendly, without any advanced poses, practising yoga bathed in the morning sun was truly special. It felt as though the earth's energy was transmitted through the yoga mat laid on the ground, allowing me to reach a profound state of relaxation.
After breakfast, the three-hour treatment course commences at 10 o'clock. First, the doctor conducts the morning consultation to check your pulse.
"You seem to have slept well up in the highlands, your complexion looks lovely," they said, and I felt quite pleased.
TodayPitta CalmingWith the aim of achieving this, a specialised head treatment has been incorporated alongside the full-body oil massage.
Two female therapists work in tandem. First, warm herbal oil is dripped onto the forehead via Shirodhara, guiding the brain into a state of profound tranquillity.
Next came a full-body Abhyanga massage performed by four hands. The specially blended oil, generously infused with herbs from Ayu Piyasa's own farm, offered a refreshing sensation reminiscent of the forest's essence, gliding smoothly over the skin. The massage, delivered with perfectly calibrated pressure, stimulated the circulation, and soon beads of sweat began to form on the forehead and extremities.
The crowning touch was nāśya (nasal oil therapy). Several drops of herbal oil were dripped into my nostrils as I lay supine on the bed.

A sharp minty scent shot straight up my nostrils to the top of my head, making me choke momentarily. Yet afterwards, my forehead and the back of my nose felt wonderfully refreshed, and the nasal congestion that had plagued me for years vanished as if by magic! My mind felt wonderfully clear and alert, as though toxins had been flushed from my brain.
"You may experience tears or a runny nose, but that's the detox process," the therapist explained. Indeed, my eyes did water slightly, but I took a deep breath nonetheless.
The forest-like herbal air I drew deep into my lungs felt wonderfully refreshing, leaving my mind and body feeling light.
After the treatment, you are advised to allow the oil to absorb for at least one hour.
Under the highland sun, I spent some time daydreaming on the cottage terrace while sipping herbal tea.
A gentle breeze caresses skin softened by oil, and gazing upon the distant mountain range, one forgets the passage of time.
Glancing in the mirror, I felt the dullness of the previous days had lifted and my skin appeared a shade brighter.
Perhaps the toxins have been purged and her complexion improved, for her cheeks are now a faint cherry blossom pink.
"Ayurveda is truly remarkable!" I marvelled at its effects, while also realising that being able to relax at a leisurely pace is a luxury unique to travelling alone.
Lunch is as instructed by the doctor.Pitta-balancing vegetarian lunchis.
At Ayu Piyasa "Cook within 30 minutes of harvesting" With this as their motto, they apparently use an abundance of fresh organic vegetables harvested from their own farm.

For lunch that day, pink and white rice noodles (IndiappaString hoppers were arranged in a floral pattern, and the table was laid with visually splendid dishes such as an appetiser of bean paste wrapped in green crepes, bitter melon salad, and coconut roti (flatbread).
Each dish features the robust flavour of freshly harvested vegetables and a gentle use of spices, making you feel your body rejoice with every bite.
What particularly moved me wasMung Bean CurryCreamy yet not overly rich, with a perfect balance of spice and the natural sweetness of the beans, it possessed a profound depth of flavour quite distinct from Japanese curry. I had always imagined medicinal cuisine to be rather plain, so it was a delightful surprise to discover such colourful and varied dishes could be enjoyed.
After a short afternoon nap, I opted to experience a herbal bath.
A large wooden tub is filled with warm herbal bath water, with dried herb potpourri floating on the surface instead of bath salts.
As I immersed myself in the bath, the fragrances of rosemary and eucalyptus rose up, warming me right to the core. Outside the window, jasmine blossoms swayed, their sweet scent carried on the breeze into the bathroom. Soaking in the tub while gazing at the trees beyond and listening to the birdsong, I felt a deep sense of happiness wash over me, thinking, "Ah, my mind and body are being purified..."
Candlelit dinners were arranged for the evening. Candles were set out in the garden gazebo, creating a special supper beneath the starry sky.
The menu features a full course of locally sourced vegetables and herbs.
AppetiserHerb SaladThis refreshing dish combines several types of fresh leaves—moringa, gotu kola, basil and others—tossed in a lemon dressing. With each bite, the vibrant, green flavour permeates the body.
The mainCoconut Milk StewAnd the gentle flavours of the Sri Lankan-style pot-au-feu bring a sense of comfort. For dessert, kiripen (spiced milk pudding) appears, its smooth texture and cardamom aroma leaving one utterly enchanted. Each dish was so deeply moving, fully stimulating sight, smell and taste, that one truly understood what it means to savour a meal with all five senses.
And so the night at Ayu Piyasa draws to a close. On this final evening, I meditated briefly before turning in. Thanks to the deep healing of both body and mind, my thoughts were clear and my mind was still. Outside, all was quiet, and in the distance, an owl hooted 'Hoo, hoo'.
Closing my eyes beneath the canopy bed illuminated by starlight, I drifted into a deep sleep, feeling a sense of reluctance as I thought, 'Tomorrow marks the end of this journey...'
Day 5: The morning of our return, a bittersweet moment
The final day of the journey has finally arrived. I rose at 6 o'clock in the morning and received my last Ayurvedic treatment. It consisted of a short session.Head massageとHerbal Steam。
As the ginger oil was massaged into my scalp, both drowsiness and worries seemed to melt away. To finish, I warmed my entire body in the steam sauna, thoroughly expelling the fatigue and toxins from my journey. Finally, the doctor remarked, "Your constitution has improved considerably over these five days."
I was advised to 'please continue leading a disciplined life in Japan too', and was even presented with something akin to a certificate of completion. Though my stay was brief, I feel I gained more than enough healing and learning as a reward for myself.
For breakfast, I had a light meal of herbal tea and fruit, then got ready and checked out. The entire staff came out to see me off, calling out in Japanese, "See you again!" and "Take care!" Though I was travelling alone, thanks to the warmth of the local people, I felt no loneliness whatsoever.
On the way to the airport in a private taxi, I gazed out of the window at the passing scenery, lost in thought as I reflected on this journey.
The sea breeze of Negombo and the expert Ayurveda at Jetwing; the cool air of the highlands of Matale and the organic lifestyle at Ayu Piyasa. Both experiences at these contrasting resorts were splendid, leaving me feeling truly glad I came.
The cost, including airfare, accommodation, treatments and transfers, came to around ¥300,000, but the value of 'becoming beautiful while travelling' was truly priceless. Above all, I am grateful for the profound welcome extended by Sri Lanka and Ayurveda, where even a woman travelling alone can feel so completely at ease and relaxed.
Before boarding the plane, I was startled by my reflection in the mirror. My complexion was brighter than before departure, and my eyes were full of life. They say 'seven days can change a person', and I truly felt reset and refreshed from within after just four nights and five days of Ayurveda.
Even as daily life in Japan resumes, I intend to incorporate the self-care and yoga I learnt this time, continuing to lead a wholesome life.
Thank you for reading to the end. My solo Ayurveda trip to Sri Lanka proved to be both safe and rewarding for women.

In conclusion
This time, though the schedule was limited to four nights and five days, my solo trip to experience authentic Ayurveda in Sri Lanka proved far more fulfilling than I had anticipated.
Staying in the contrasting environments of Negombo and near Kandy provided welcome variety and allowed us to experience the distinct merits of each establishment. At Jetwing Ayurveda Pavilions, we were soothed by the highly specialised programmes and comfortable service, whilst at Ayu Piyasa we savoured the joy of liberating both mind and body amidst the grandeur of nature.
Some women travelling alone may feel apprehensive about trying Ayurveda.
However, the people of Sri Lanka are kind, and Ayurvedic facilities offer robust security and support systems. Indeed, I felt completely at ease throughout my stay, and above all, the refreshing effect gained from this “journey of self-care” is truly immense.
As a journey to reset daily stress and fatigue and rediscover your true self, Sri Lanka's Ayurvedic retreats come highly recommended for women in their thirties. Do treat yourself to this experience.Sri Lanka Ayurveda Tour Solo TravelWhy not plan a trip? An exquisite experience sure to delight all five senses awaits.
