One magical island
Three extraordinary resorts

Balmy tropical vibes, ancient ruined cities, the rolling surf and the famed warmth of our island people… welcome to our home. Our journeys take you across diverse landscapes from mountainous jungle terrain to roaring waterfalls and lush green tea fields, providing you the opportunity to revel in rich, sensory and evocative experiences.

Ceylon Tea Trails
Luxury Tea Bungalows in Sri Lanka

Ceylon Tea Trails comprises five restored historic tea planter residences, called bungalows, perched at an altitude of 1250 metres in Sri Lanka’s panoramic Ceylon tea region. Complete with period furnishings, gracious butler service, and gourmet cuisine, the non-hotel ambiance has made Tea Trails the gold standard for luxury in Sri Lanka.

The sky awakens in a flurry of colours, setting alight the valleys beyond. Touchdown on the Castlereagh Lake by floatplane. A butler pours you your first cup of tea for the day. The sultry aroma fills the air. Relax and rejuvenate. Sink into luxurious comfort and unwind amidst the cool climate that envelopes our five tea planters’ bungalows and recognise the true purpose and joy of rediscovery.

Wild Coast Tented Lodge
Luxury tented lodge in Yala

Adjacent to the Yala National Park, a spectacular beachfront safari lodge awaits. The unique design – which mirrors the boulders scattered across the golden beach beyond – sees it blend seamlessly into the surrounding landscape, whilst a clever layout in the shape of a leopard’s paw alludes to the area’s most famous resident. Embark on an experiential journey of rediscovery, where adventure and relaxation welcome you. Arrive at your home amidst the wilderness.

Cape Weligama
Luxury clifftop resort in Sri Lanka

Where trade winds carried legendary explorers like Marco Polo, Ibn Battuta and Fa-Hsien past Sri Lanka’s soaring southern cliffs on some of history’s most celebrated nautical journeys, Cape Weligama has become the most celebrated resort along this fabled island’s palm-fringed shores. The golden sun rising from the east. The morning calling of our peacocks. The rolling ocean below. The coconut trees swaying to the salty breeze. Pause and reset. From the palm-fringed shores, tropical gardens, and pampering villas and suites that blend into our headland, Cape Weligama is your own slice of paradise. The gateway to southern Sri Lanka envelops you in a world of culture, community and cuisine.

Our core philosophy is to balance mind, body, and spirit through our six pillars inspired by indigenous practices. We bring wellness to the forefront and make people realise that it is not just a quick fix. Wellness is a way of life. It is something you have to commit to without even thinking.

ORIGINS & PHILOSOPHY

natural – authentic – respectful

Es Raco d’Arta is a living dream of two friends, Antoni Esteva and Jaume Danus and their families. The old ‘finca’ dating back to the 13th century has passed through different families over generations. They have all been closely connected to the land and dedicated to agriculture. In the 1960s when tourism got a foothold on the island, many of the old fincas were abandoned for new tourism projects, and this was also the case for Es Racó.
Unearthing the abandoned finca awakened a dream in Antoni and Jaume; a dream of returning it to its origins, restoring the finca and bringing back alive the long-lost Mallorca they knew from childhood; a Mallorca where nature, architecture, culture and gastronomy were deeply rooted and intertwined in everyday life.

LIFE IN ES RACÓ

connected – creative – peaceful – joyous

Nestled adjacent to the LLevant Natural Park in a serene valley, protected by the mountains and only a stone’s throw from the picturesque village of Artà and the turquoise Mediterranean Sea, Es Raco d’Artà provides a peaceful nest for the exploration of our interconnectedness with nature, conscious living and holistic wellbeing.

The architecture of Es Raco embraces the natural elements of the land, and in doing so it invites each one of its visitors to connect deeply within; within our own natural landscape of feelings, sensations and emotions. Offering a variety of different experiences, guided by accomplished practitioners, Es Raco d’Artà combines natural beauty and unspoiled nature with a palate of sights, sounds, tastes, aromas and textures, inviting guests to connect through all their senses while embodying the healing experience of being natural.

Life in Es Raco is informal and relaxed with a heart-felt approach to everything we do. We give space to authenticity rather than pretence, and we seek to understand rather than to judge. Connecting with nature allows us to feel the elements, which show us ways of finding peace, healing, and inspiration within.

FINDING YOUR PATH

explore the mystery of being human – the path of self-discovery – unlocking human potential – discovering your soul purpose – transforming your life

Authenticity is the guiding principle behind every offering and experience at Es Racó. More than just give back some of what contemporary life seems to take away; we would like to introduce a different perspective, a different way of being that may help to reconnect with the healer and visionary we all have within. Our wish is for you to find your path of self-discovery and from there explore your fullest potential.

THE LAND AND HER OFFERING

interconnectedness – harmonious – organic

The finca stretches over 185 hectare of natural land including beautiful mountains and forests of oak trees, wild olive trees, carob, pines and the odd cypress. The farmed land is home to our 14-hectare ecological vineyard, some 1200 olive trees, 200 different fruit trees, a field of indigenous xeixa, our 2000 m2 organic vegetable garden and the aromatic herbal garden. We produce our own olive oil and organic xeixa flour. Adding to that we also engage in beekeeping, which means you will have fresh honey for breakfast.

FROM LAND TO TABLE

healthy – balanced – seasonal – generous

We feel love and respect for our land and we express it in many ways, one way being through the food we serve. Our dishes are full of love and tradition to nourish us, move us and give us balance. Our gastronomy is seasonal and based on the produce from our garden as well as from local organic produce available from neighbouring fincas on the island. Here at Es Racó sitting down for a meal is a joyous moment to celebrate our interconnectedness and appreciate the colourful palate the land provides us with.

FROM THE WORLD TO ES RACÓ

slowing down – being rather than doing – feeling – connecting

Es Raco d’Arta is not a hotel, but a destination for transformation. A place to be inspired by genuine Mallorquin life. A place to allow for the real and authentic to shine through. Visiting Es Racó is not a tale about ‘checking out’. It is about ‘checking in’, with self and with others; leaning in, deepen, returning to the body, to our senses, to our humanness, fully embodying life here on earth.

Where the balance of mind, body, and spirit is restored through the ancient and time-tested tenets of Ayurveda.

Ayurveda at Amal Tamara is focused on the body’s natural ability to heal – helping the body to renew and rejuvenate from the inside out.

The Amal Approach

Your experience with us extends to before you arrive and after you leave the property. Holistic in the true sense, we hope to equip you with meaningful lifestyle changes, to retain wellness wisdom into your life at home.

The Amal Way of Life

Amal Tamara’s wellness philosophy is Chikitsa Chatushpada – a unique Ayurvedic concept, referring to the idea that four limbs of curative programme, namely, the physician, the patient, the therapist, and the medicine itself, must work in synergy. Our approach bridges this traditional ayurvedic concept with modern-day luxury to create a perfect symphony of contemporary Ayurveda for your comfort and wellness. The moment you begin your journey with Amal Tamara, you become an Amal Yatri – embarking on a journey of wellness and wellbeing. Rest all your senses and immerse yourself in the peace and quiet of Alleppey, while our team of physicians ensures you receive the care and comfort to achieve your wellness goals. Amal offers guests 3 categories of rooms to choose from: Astha, Ekta, and Idha Rooms

Cure Cuisine

“Pathye sathi gatharthasya kim Oushadha nishevanam” When a diet is correct, there is no need for medicine From the Vaidya Jeevanam At Amal, an expert Ayurvedic physician and an expert chef will design the perfect diet for your needs. A personalised wellness menu, suiting your curative plan, body type, and health conditions, will be offered to you. Our menu, devoid of sea salt, refined sugar, preservatives, or refined flour, encompasses the wisdom of Ayurvedic cooking. All recipes are focused on regularising the body’s natural defenses, and are freshly made, with care, every day by our chef.

Holistic Healing

Amal Tamara harnesses the wisdom of Ayurvedic medicine and offers a healing experience in the serene backwaters of Kerala- an environment that will still the mind, calm the nerves, and promote healing from inside out. It is not only about the symptom on the surface- the blemish on the skin, the ache in the stomach, or the loss of hair. Unlike the Western systems of medicine and healing, Ayurveda places emphasis on prevention and maintenance rather than the treatment of symptoms and external indication of disease. Ayurvedic practitioners believe in holistic healing and wellness, rooted in the absolute balance of lifestyle, diet, manner of thinking, spiritual practices, and the use of herbs in everyday life. When the energies of the body are balanced and in sync, the body is more equipped to use its natural defense systems to fight disease.
