Yoga Bee is a boutique yoga retreat near Bentota — four rooms, max 8 guests, daily teaching by Danushka. A place where you are known by name from the first morning. Arrive any day.
Yoga Bee is a family-run boutique retreat in Dharga Town, a quiet village on Sri Lanka's southwest coast — ten minutes from Bentota beach and about 75 minutes from Colombo Airport.
The retreat has four private rooms around a central courtyard garden. Danushka teaches every yoga session himself — morning and evening, every day. His wife Kanchana cooks every meal from scratch. There is no staff rotation, no substitute teachers, no anonymous check-in.
With a maximum of eight guests, the atmosphere is closer to staying with a family than checking into a wellness hotel. Many guests say it is the most personal retreat they have ever experienced.
The retreat has exactly four private rooms. That is not a limitation — it is the point. Small enough for everyone to know each other by the second morning.
No substitute teachers. No rotation. Danushka leads every session himself — adapting each class to who is in the room that day.
Ongoing retreat — no fixed start dates. Choose when to come and how long to stay. From 3 days to 10 days and beyond.
Every morning, a complimentary tuk-tuk takes you to Bentota beach. Sun loungers reserved for Yoga Bee guests. Ten minutes from the shala.
Kanchana cooks breakfast and dinner from scratch, every day. Vegetarian, fresh, Sri Lankan. Guests mention the food almost as often as the yoga.
Run by Danushka and his family. Guests consistently say it felt like being welcomed into someone's home — warm, personal, and genuine.
Danushka has spent over 20 years in yoga practice and more than a decade as the resident yogi at a five-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.
He runs the retreat with his wife Kanchana. Every meal, every session, every morning tuk-tuk is something they oversee personally. There is no team behind the scenes running things while they manage. They are the retreat.
"He listens before he teaches — and adapts from the very first session."
