Personal retreats

Packages and what’s included

From the original concept of being a space for group yoga retreats we’ve developed a selection of retreat-type packages that let you totally relax in a gorgeous spot without worrying about bills or add-ons. We offer 2- and 3-night Personal Retreat packages as well as a 5-night stay that includes yoga classes and meals.

(If you prefer, you can of course just book on bed-and-breakfast basis and add things when at Ruk.)

Personal Retreats - what’s included

2- and 3-night Personal Retreats have the same inclusions (though of course 3 nights accommodation for the longer retreat). Included in the booking price is:

  • Twice daily group yoga classes

  • 1 (per person) x 60 minute full body therapeutic massage

  • Guided walk and climb to Bambaragala temple and Pettigala viewpoint

  • All meals from our healthy set menu

  • Soft drinks

  • King coconuts after morning yoga

  • Free use of paddle boards and wild swimming gear

  • 2- or 3-nights accommodation

What’s not included (but you can definitely have)

  • Pick-ups and transfers (we can help you arrange)

  • Any other experiences like cooking classes or guided paddle-boarding

  • Guided hikes other than to Bambaragala

  • Options from the small dishes menu*

    *but if you let us know in advance we’ll swap stuff in for you no problem/no charge.

  • Extra private yoga classes

Slightly longer stays - 5 nights (with yoga and meals included)

We don’t list our 5-night offer as a Personal Retreat as we don’t structure it too much. It’s really a ‘package’ for people who want a slightly extended but largely relaxed and peaceful time doing mostly their own thing. You can of course add on hikes, massage, cooking or art classes however you wish when with us. Includes:

  • 5 nights accomodation

  • All meals from our healthy set menu

  • Twice daily group yoga classes

Timings for arrival, meals and check-outs

Our standard check-in time is from 2pm. Normally we can accommodate if you do want to arrive earlier but that’s subject to availability and so please do request in advance.

For the Personal Retreats, included meals start from dinner on the first night. Again, if you want to arrive earlier and have lunch on the first day we can most often do that but please do request in advance.

Lunch on the last day is included in the package. If you need to leave early and would like a packed lunch we can make that up for you.
