Solo Female Travel · Sri Lanka · Yoga Retreat

A Yoga retreat where solo women feel completely at home

Yoga Bee near Bentota is a small, personal retreat — max 8 guests, daily yoga with Danushka, complimentary beach tuk-tuk. Arrive any day. No group pressure.

Small enough to feel safe.
Personal enough to feel seen.

A large part of our guests travel to Yoga Bee alone. Many say it was their first solo trip — and that Yoga Bee made it easy. Here is what makes the difference.

🏡

Max 8 guests

You are never lost in a crowd. With a maximum of 8 guests, Danushka knows every person by name from day one.

🧘

Personal teaching, every session

Danushka teaches every yoga class himself — adapted to your level, your pace, your body. No substitute teachers, no exceptions.

📅

Arrive any day

Ongoing retreat — no fixed start dates. You choose when to come and how long to stay. From 3 days to 10 days and beyond.

🛺

Complimentary beach tuk-tuk

Every morning, a complimentary tuk-tuk takes you to Bentota beach — sun loungers included. You never have to figure it out alone.

🍽️

Everything taken care of

Homemade Sri Lankan breakfast and dinner by Kanchana. Local excursions. Temple visits. Turtle sanctuary. We organise everything.

🌿

A home, not a hotel

The retreat is run by Danushka and his family. Guests consistently say it felt like being welcomed into someone's home — not a business.

What women say about travelling alone to Yoga Bee

"I wanted a smaller retreat that was calm and intimate, as it was my first time doing this alone at the age of 71. I gained confidence in my capability. It was a calming experience. The whole experience was like a supportive family."

"Amazing time at the retreat. Danushka was so welcoming and generous. We were able to choose what we wanted to do in our free time and he worked around us. I felt really safe and happy as a solo female traveller."

"My first yoga retreat was with Yoga Bee. Travelling to Sri Lanka was also a first for me, and I was a little apprehensive — but Danushka provided me with information beforehand. The wholesome, entirely homemade meals were absolutely splendid."

"This retreat was the most amazing retreat and perfect in every way. I felt safe and so well looked after. Danushka is a true inspiration — so in tune with his guests' requirements and levels. Do not hesitate to book."

Danushka, yoga teacher at Yoga Bee Retreat Sri Lanka

Danushka

Danushka has spent over 20 years in yoga practice and more than a decade as the resident yogi at a 5-star Maldivian resort. He holds a 500hr Yoga Alliance certification.

What he brings to every session is rare: the ability to read a room. He adapts from the very first class — whether you are a complete beginner, recovering from an injury, or an experienced practitioner looking to go deeper.

For solo female travellers, this matters. You will never feel judged, pushed, or overlooked. Many guests say his quiet attentiveness was the thing they remembered most.

"He listens before he teaches — and adapts from the very first session."
