What our retreat members are saying:
My heartfelt words…
Having just returned from my first ever yoga retreat , I can unreservedly recommend Vanessa Morten’s yoga escapes!! I travelled solo and one of Vanessa’s skills along with being a great teacher and tour group leader was her ability to promote an atmosphere of openness , humour and honesty that encouraged genuine friendships to build in a short time!
Vanessa was flexible and adaptable , adjusting our yoga practices to suit our needs!
The accommodation was outstanding , Jim’s Farm villas and beach villas were first class and great places to experience Sri Lanka from .
A balance of yoga, tours and time to explore allowed me to make the most of my time on the beautiful island.
As for the food… wow! My lady like appetite took a backseat as wolfed down every meal that appeared!
Vanessa you are the best ,my first yoga retreat won’t be my last!! Is it too soon to book my next one ( or 2) with you!
Big love Julie (UAE)

Jims Farm Villas | Sri Lanka
On this 10-day retreat we shall enjoy spending 7 - nights at Jim's farm Villa, a luxury boutique hotel in Sri Lanka's Cultural Triangle between Dambulla and Kandy, set in a serene 50-acre organic spice farm with mountain views. Day 8 Transfer to Hikkaduwa on the Galle coast. Jim's Beach Villas is situated just south of Hikkaduwa in southern Sri Lanka, just meters from a gorgeous 2km long sandy beach with rock pools.
Throughout this 10-day Sri Lankan Escape Experience, I will invite you on a journey of exploration of the body, the mind, and the spectacular Sri Lankan landscape.
Why I fell in love with Jim`s Farm Villas
Kevin and Janet Abbott, the UK owners of Jim’s Farm Villas, bought a derelict coconut farm 10 years ago and have developed it as a luxury boutique eco-hotel and diverse 50-acre organic fruits and spice farm for the benefit of guests and the local community.
Most of the fruits, spices, vegetables, and dairy products come from the farm itself including black pepper, mangoes, papaya, cinnamon, coffee and cocoa, free-range chicken and eggs, and cows to provide milk and natural manure.
Set amongst wooded hills and next to paddy-fields, the farm is a haven for birds with an astonishing 102 species having been spotted so far. Waking up every morning to an orchestra of bird songs, the best way to begin your day.
Specially designed to showcase the best of Sri Lankan craftsmanship, all rooms have cool kumbuk wood flooring, vaulted wooden ceilings and lime plaster walls. Jim's Farm Villas are very proud to have used local craftsmen to create our traditional teak and rattan furniture.
All rooms have individually controlled air-con and fan, tea & coffee making facilities, hairdryer, bath and spa robes, plus luxury pure white Egyptian cotton bed linen and towels. Free wifi is available in each Villa.
