“Great yoga; average accommodation”

The yoga shala; the yoga teachers; the garden and the beach

“Big resort if you like that sort of thing.”

Beach hut just by the seashore. Sounds of nature. Yoga good (paid extra). We had visits from monkeys, lizards & found a dog peacefully sleeping on a suitcase one morning…it’s open air & the blinds don’t secure completely.

The breakfast buffet was very good with plenty of variety. The beach was very clean and quiet and relaxing.

The overall look of the place is impressive Very close to the beach Good food Attentive and caring staff Good size room Large bathroom hot shower Yoga facilities

“Lovely environment”

Beautiful quiet beach and calm environment. Pilates classes were amazing.

“Idyllic tropical retreat”

We stayed at Talalla Retreat for a week and had an absolutely amazing time. It’s the perfect place to relax, unwind, and truly switch off. We loved spending time by the pool, swimming in the ocean, and taking in the incredible views. The experiences were a real highlight — the e-bike tour was fantastic, the massages were amazing, Reformer Pilates was great, and the bathhouse was hands down one of the best parts of the stay. The food was consistently excellent, fresh, and nourishing. It’s also a wonderful place for a family — plenty of space to relax, hang out, and enjoy time together in a very peaceful setting. We did a day trip to Polhena where we snorkeled with turtles, which was unforgettable, and took lunch trips to Hiriketiya, which were awesome and easy to do from the retreat. Overall, Talalla Retreat is a truly special place. Beautiful, calming, thoughtfully run, and the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure. We would absolutely love to come back.

“A great place to unwind & relax”

The location - gardens and beachfront. The yoga and Pilates classes were excellent, as was the food and service. I also enjoyed the spa treatments.

“Expensive and underwhelming”

Beautiful, spacious location at beachfront.

“Not a peaceful retreat, misleading description and advertising of rooms. Incompetent staff.”

The pilates studio and teachers as well as yoga teacher were great. The spa and staff at the spa were also very good and attentive.

“Beautiful beach, but the meals were poor and not worth the price”

Beach, superb location

“Beautiful hotel staff were amazing and made me feel so welcome on my solo travels”

Loved the peaceful location, the Yoga, the bath house and the beautiful grounds. The sofa on the balcony it was so comfy to fall asleep on.

“Serene retreat place! Beautiful gardens on the beach!”

Beautiful garden with top location at the beach!

“A unique and beautiful retreat surrounded by nature”

What a gorgeous location and retreat — wow. Set in a peaceful spot, surrounded by jungle with the beach just around the corner. The food was great, the staff were amazing, and the facilities and overall atmosphere were truly exceptional.

“Perfect location to unwind and relax”

Amazing location right by the Tallala beach , huge pool and just loved the reformer Pilates studio. Excellent meals at the onsite restaurant

“A great stay with exceptional facilities.”

The yoga, palates and bath house were exceptional. The retreat layout was easy to navigate, the food was great and a welcoming pool. I did not swim in the local beach as it was a bit rough, however, it looked very inviting.

“Incredible!!”

Location could not be more perfect! The staff were super attentive and very friendly. You can definitely swim in the sea here despite the signs for dangerous currents. Stay in the corner by the boats. The wildlife is out of this world at this resort and the massages were 10 out of 10!!!

“Beautiful place and lovely people!”

The buffet was always good - the food was delicious and the staff were all very friendly. The beach was beautiful and it was lovely to do yoga looking out over the sea. It was nice to have a pool to jump into also and the grounds were beautifully kept.

“Unique experience in Talalla”

I spent two nights at the retreat and I really enjoyed my stay. The setting is beautiful! I booked because they offer reformer pilates classes, which were excellent (air conditioned studio). I also had the best massage in their spa. The open living arrangement is a unique experience but two nights was enough for me. The breakfast was also very good and the beach (not private) was quiet, ideal for long walks and watching the sunrise.
