A sacred invitation to soften, breathe, and rediscover the luminous clarity of your own being.

Step away from the relentless pulse of “doing” and surrender to the healing art of “being.” Return to Radiance is more than a retreat; it is a meticulously crafted 9-day immersion designed to recalibrate your entire existence.

Within the emerald embrace of the Sri Lankan highlands, we create a sanctuary where the noise of the world fades, allowing your inner frequency to hum with its natural vitality once more.

Guided by Lucie Rezacova, a seasoned yoga therapist and Ayurvedic consultant, this journey is a gentle homecoming.

Through a small, intimate group setting, you will receive the personal attention and nurturing space required to dissolve exhaustion, reset your nervous system, and awaken the radiant light that has always been within you.

This is your time to exhale, to heal, and to finally arrive back at yourself.

Morning — Awaken Softly:We begin with the rising sun. Sacred silence, followed by meditation, breathwork (Pranayama), and a fluid Yoga flow to awaken the body’s innate intelligence. Ends with a vibrant, nourishing breakfast.
Midday — Wisdom & Vitality:Dive into the "Garden of Life" workshops covering Ayurvedic healing or enjoy a restorative lunch. This is a time for intellectual and physical nourishment.
Afternoon — The Art of Non-Doing:A spacious window for personal healing. Indulge in an Ayurvedic massage, find stillness by the pool, or wander through the tea-scented hills. This is where the magic of integration happens.
Evening — Deep Calm & Inner Balance:As the jungle choir begins, we transition into Yin or Restorative Yoga. We close the day with sharing circles or sound baths, ensuring a transition into profound, restorative sleep.

    Nestled in the tropical highlands of the ancient Kandyan Kingdom, Yasmin Hill is more than a resort—it is a hidden enclave of silence. Perched on a lush hillside in Moragolla, our sanctuary overlooks a valley of untouched emerald green.

    Here, the air is oxygen-rich, the sounds are purely natural, and the horizon is endless. We are far enough from the city to ensure absolute tranquility, yet rooted deeply in the spiritual heart of Sri Lanka. This is a landscape that invites your nervous system to finally exhale.

    Choose from our Superior, Deluxe, or spacious Suite accommodations, each designed to blur the line between indoor comfort and outdoor serenity. Ground-floor rooms open onto private terraces, while first-floor sanctuaries feature breezy balconies—both furnished with designer seating for your relaxation.

    To support your natural circadian rhythm, our rooms utilize bio-climatic natural ventilation instead of artificial air-conditioning, ensuring fresh, oxygen-rich air and pleasant temperatures for restorative sleep.

    Amenities: High-speed WiFi, personal safe, minibar, and organic Ayurvedic toiletries. Enjoy complimentary herbal tea and coffee stations in every room.

    Note: For a complete digital detox, our Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas rooms are intentionally TV-free.
