Founded by Australian Laurie Rose who fell in love with the spiritual charm of Sri Lanka, Talalla retreat sits meters away from Sri Lanka’s most peaceful and protected beach; an undiscovered cove of clear turquoise water, golden sand and brilliant sunrises.
After an eventful setup period for Talalla sidetracked by the devastating 2004 Tsunami whereby Laurie mobilized a Talalla Support Group to assist the local community clean up. Laurie has now realized his dream with a boutique health resort built on sustainable principles offering yoga, pilates, boxilates, surfing and a hip restaurant and pool space for all to enjoy.
