Weekend Excursions
At The Sapphire, we recognise the importance of breaking away from routine. Moving to our serene partner locations provides a refreshing change of scenery, stimulating the mind and fostering independence. Experiencing diverse landscapes helps to broadens horizons and encourages connection. By temporarily leaving behind daily stressors, clients can find a conducive environment for reflection and personal growth, reinforcing therapy lessons and promoting lasting recovery.
Ashburnham Estate
A Working Hill Country Estate with Private Waterfalls in the Foothills of The Knuckles Mountains
Ashburnham Estate is a beautiful boutique hotel with an operating 100 acre tea estate just north of Kandy in the heart of Sri Lanka. Based in the foothills of the gorgeous Knuckles Mountains, it boasts the finest private waterfalls in the country and allows our clients to bathe in a magical country house retreat experience.
Rukgala Retreat
A Lakeside Yoga and Wellness Retreat on the Shores of the Victoria Lake
Rukgala Retreat is a private yoga and wellness retreat space that sits in the treeline next to the Victoria Reservoir in the hills close to Kandy. It is the perfect place to combine rest with easy adventure - perhaps paddle-boarding or wild swimming, a short evening hike, or a calming yoga class followed by a massage.
Beaches and villas
A Selection of Beautiful Villas and Golden Beaches on Sri Lanka’s West and South Coasts
We are spoiled in Sri Lanka with a large number of beautiful private villas and miles of golden beaches, often empty - the perfect locations for total rest and relaxation.
