Sri Lanka was my first trip taken solely for health and well being. I researched Aryuvedic resorts and therapies and decided to stay here:
Barberyn Reef Resort

What a lovely getaway-rest, relax, rejuvenate, and all the other similar R words. Be advised though, as this is a health resort, daily treatments are part of the routine and while this includes massages and scrubs, there are remedies prescribed and I don't mean a hot toddy at night! And NO COFFEEEEE...ARGGGG!!!! Fortunately, I found this out ahead of time and brought my instant and my little french press. BE FURTHER ADVISED: NO BOOZE! Yikes.
So I was put on the "you're too fat to live diet" which meant my evening meal was not so much fun. However, I could cheat a little at the morning and lunch buffets. And twice, I snuck down the beach for some fries and a coffee.
I managed a few excursions provided by the hotel: a tour of a tea plantation, a visit to some temples and a visit to the village for a little shopping. One thing I did NOT know about Sri Lanka...they have some amazing jewelry. So expect to drop a little cash on gems if you are so inclined.
Even with the above caveats, it was a lovely lovely stay. However, even with all the "healthy food and practices" I managed to lose NOTHING, NOT ONE SINGLE POUND.
Here are the snaps to enjoy.
