Another Little Dream Takes Shape @ Mind Body and Soul.

We are delighted to share another milestone in the ongoing transformation of Mind Body and Soul ~ Fueled by Nature.

The third plunge pool, created exclusively for Ajna Chalet, has now been completed- nestled amongst our Mango orchard and overlooking the beautiful mountain range of Rathmalgaha Ella, Dambulla and beyond.

But we are not quite finished yet.

The surrounding landscaping and the creation of a beautiful decking area still lie ahead. As with everything at Mind Body and Soul, we are choosing to take our time and do it thoroughly- allowing the space to blend naturally into its surroundings rather than rushing the process.

This is part of our continuing process of upgrading and enhancing the property, with one simple objective.

To create a more beautiful, comfortable and meaningful experience for our future guests ~ while remaining true to the nature that makes Mind Body and Soul so special.

The pool is ready.
The landscaping is taking shape.
And the journey continues…..

Planting Memories. Growing a Legacy.

Some friendships last a lifetime.

My friendship with Hiran Molligoda spans more than 50 years, and it was particularly meaningful to have him visit Mind Body and Soul and become part of its story.

During his recent visit, I asked Hiran to plant two of Sri Lanka’s beautiful endemic trees - Mee and Kumbuk - overlooking a tranquil lake bordering the property.

These are not simply trees being planted. They are a small contribution to something much larger.

At Mind Body and Soul, we believe that creating a beautiful living space should also mean giving something back to the living world around us. As civilization continues to take away forests and natural habitats, every tree we plant is a small step towards restoring what has been lost.

One day, long after we are gone, these two trees will stand tall before the lake - providing shade, shelter and life, and perhaps become home to generations of birds and wildlife.

And I hope that whenever I look at these trees, I will remember an old friend, of more than five decades and the day we planted a little more of Sri Lanka’s natural heritage together.

Two Trees 🌲. One Friendship. A small gift to Planet Earth.

Something Beautiful is Taking Shape…..

The sounds you hear now at Mind Body and Soul are just not the birds and the breeze anymore.

Behind the scenes, we are lovingly restoring our little sanctuary.

Refurbishment is well underway, and we are delighted to be adding another private plunge pool - just one of several enhancements designed to make your stay even more memorable for the future.

We cannot wait to share this new chapter with you.

Watch this space ……..

A Quiet Resident of Mind Body and Soul

Hidden among the trees and wandering quietly through the mango orchard lives one of our most gentle residents - the shy Mouse Deer.

Known locally for its timid nature and delicate movements, the Mouse Deer is one of the smallest hoofed mammals in the wild. Rarely seen in busy or disturbed environments, its presence is often considered a sign of a peaceful and healthy ecosystem.

It appears quietly at dawn and dusk, reminding us that when nature feels safe, it chooses to stay. At Mind Body and Soul, we are privileged to share our sanctuary not only with guests , but with the wildlife that calls it home.

Mind Body and Soul was not created in a design studio or at a corporate strategy meeting. The journey began with two professionals, unknown to each other, meeting across a Board Room table as Non Executive, Independent Directors of a listed company. Navigating the pressures and demands of corporate life, only to discover a shared passion for meditation- stillness of the mind, internal healing of the body and the rejuvenation of the soul within the quiet power of nature.

Over time, a simple idea took root - to create a sanctuary in Dambulla for those seeking to pause, breathe and reconnect with themselves. A retreat where weary minds could slow down, bodies could rest and the soul could heal amidst forests , lakes and open skies.

Mind Body and Soul traces its origins back to 2002, when the land was first acquired in a markedly different state.

At the time, the property was arid and depleted, having been cleared for Chena cultivation [a `Cut & Burn' farming method which is wasteful and depletes forest cover]. As a result, the land lacked tree cover, biodiversity, infrastructure, and accessibility — with no established road, electricity, or water supply.

Despite these limitations, the site possessed a distinct natural energy and a unique setting — overlooking a village lake and framed by a mountain range.

Over the subsequent 24 years, the land has been carefully rehabilitated through the planting of over 4,000 endemic and fruit-bearing trees, including an extensive collection of mango varieties.

This long-term ecological restoration has resulted in the return of birdlife — now exceeding 60 species — along with the gradual reappearance of local wildlife. The established tree canopy has also contributed to a noticeably cooler and more habitable microclimate.

What was once a degraded landscape has evolved into a mature, biodiverse environment shaped through consistent stewardship.

It has become my little Garden of Eden which continues to host my acts of stewardship for which I am eternally grateful.

Mind Body and Soul is taking a little pause… but for all the right reasons.

We are currently closed for refurbishment and a touch of reinvention. Think repairs, refreshes, and a brand-new plunge pool for our upstairs chalet — perfectly placed to soak in those mountain views.

Behind the scenes, there is also a shift underway. The property is now back in thees e hands of its owner, with a renewed focus on thoughtful presentation, personalized service, and a finer attention to detail.

A quieter space, a better experience, and a few lovely surprises along the way.

We will be back soon — calmer, sharper, and just a little more special.

~ A Resurgence at Mind Body and Soul ~

We @ MBS wish to share an important update with our valued and loyal guests and followers.

Management of Mind Body and Soul has now been taken back in-house, with a clear focus on restoring standards, attention to details and guest experience that this unique property was designed to offer.

Set within a tranquil mango orchard, nestled between a serene lake and a striking mountain range, the property has always been about space, privacy and understated luxury. Our renewed focus is to ensure that every aspect of your stay reflects our vision.

As part of our resurgence, we are in the process of
* adding a third private plunge pool for our upstair chalet overlooking the mountains
* enhancements to landscaping and outdoor spaces
* strengthening of housekeeping and service standards.

Over the weeks , you will see a gradual and thoughtful refinement of the property .

We appreciate your continued support and look forward to welcoming you to an elevated Mind Body and Soul experience.

- Friend of the Soul ~
