Lawrence Hill Paradise Ayurveda Centrum is a certified and authentic ayurvedic treatment resort in Hikkaduwa, Sri Lanka. Established in 2001, we have been providing affordable, holistic herbal cures for those seeking to de-stress, detox, relax and find relief through ayurvedic medicine and a healthy ayurvedic diet and lifestyle. Whether you prefer a wellness holiday or a more immersive healing experience; we have got it all.
At the end of the 1990s I felt the urge to give my life a new direction. I travelled to Sri Lanka to
experience an Ayurveda cure with the aim of getting invigorated and replenishing my joie de
vivre. This intensive and impressive cure gave me such an impetus that I immediately knew
what my next step would be: building an authentic Ayurveda Centre in Sri Lanka has not simply
given my life a new direction; it has also given it a new meaning.
I opened Ayurveda Centrum Lawrence Hill Paradise on the wonderful tropical island of Sri
Lanka in 2001, with the objective of offering genuine high quality Ayurveda cures in the country of origin and
including as many European conveniences as possible. Our Sri Lankan staff members were
trained assiduously and with a lot of energy and conviction. The result of that education still
provides the cornerstone for conducting authentic Ayurveda cures at the Ayurveda Centrum
Lawrence Hill Paradise to this day. My team and I have been successful in helping many guests
find a more intensive and healthier way of life. In doing so, we have given them a solid basis for
independent and self-reliant health care. Naturally we will continue to pursue and - of course -
improve upon our joint past achievements.
That’s a firm promise!
