Spa and wellness in Colombo
Sri Lanka has practised Ayurveda, its traditional system of medicine, for centuries, and Colombo is a good place to try it properly: a consultation with a doctor first, then oils, massage and herbal steam chosen for you.
Alongside the Ayurveda clinics, the city has polished day spas in its hotels and on its high streets, for a facial, a couples’ massage or a long afternoon of doing nothing. And in between, there is always our rooftop pool.
Everything below is within about 2 km of VAUX, listed nearest first by type. Most places will take a same-day booking by phone or WhatsApp, but book ahead at weekends.

Adhitya Ayurveda

Our rooftop pool
The infinity pool on our roof is yours for a slow swim at sunrise or a sundowner as the city lights come on.
For yoga and reformer Pilates next door, see Active Colombo.
Tell your therapist about any medical conditions, pregnancy or allergies before a treatment, and avoid a heavy meal beforehand. A service charge is often included; tips for your therapist are welcome but never expected. Opening hours change on public holidays, so check before you go.
