Between the Indian Ocean and the rice fields on Sri Lanka’s south coast, this five-day yoga and meditation retreat at boutique hotel Malabar Hill guided by Marie-Louise Strøyberg is designed for slowing down, pairing daily practice with generous time to rest. Across three daily sessions, vinyasa yoga and breath-led movement are complemented by evening meditation circles, restorative flows, and deep sound journeys. Off the mat, days unfold between unwinding in the private villas, enjoying nourishing meals, and visiting the nearby beach in Mirissa.

The Destination

On Sri Lanka’s south coast, Weligama is a quiet beach town, framed by a wide, crescent bay, coconut palms, and inland rice fields that stretch into jungle-covered hills. Malabar Hill sits above the shoreline on what was once a cinnamon plantation, now rewilded into a forested sanctuary with sweeping views that reach from treetops to the Indian Ocean. The setting feels quietly removed, yet remains close to the beaches and coastal towns of Weligama and Mirissa.

The Retreat Host

Marie-Louise Strøyberg is an E-RYT 500+ yoga and meditation teacher with 13+ years of teaching experience and over two decades of dedicated personal practice. Her teaching blends intelligent vinyasa, breath-led movement, and subtle body awareness, emphasizing refined technique without losing the thread of felt experience.

Marie-Louise is the founder of Awaken Retreats and the creator of Awaken Collective, an online platform devoted to breath, nervous system regulation, and integrative movement for modern life. Originally from Denmark and now based in Sri Lanka, she leads retreats and immersions internationally, creating profound, eye-opening experiences while making yogic knowledge tangible and accessible for everyday life.
