Ayurvedic rituals on Sri Lanka's southern coast
Opened in early 2026, White Lotus Spa & Wellness brings Ayurvedic traditions and Asian massage techniques to the guest experience at Radisson Collection Resort & Spa, Galle. Its treatment menu ranges from Shirodhara, an Ayurvedic ritual in which warm oil is poured in a steady stream over the forehead, to Balinese massage and warm herbal oil treatments. At the White Lotus Skin Lab, guests can choose personalized facials using products from French skincare brand SOTHYS.

The spa shares the resort's setting overlooking the Indian Ocean. Guests can move between the steam room, whirlpool, and ice bath before taking in views of the coast from the infinity pool. Personalized wellness packages bring together Ayurvedic consultations, yoga, treatments, and dining.

"Receiving three World Luxury Spa Awards within our first year is a tremendous honour and a reflection of the dedication of our entire team," said Mieke Harfmann, Director of White Lotus Spa & Wellness. "Our vision has always been to create a destination where authentic Asian healing traditions and contemporary wellness meet the highest standards of luxury hospitality. These awards are an important recognition of what we have achieved in such a short time and inspire us to continue developing the White Lotus Spa & Wellness experience."

An oceanfront wellness retreat near Galle Fort
Set on the beachfront in Talpe, Radisson Collection Resort & Spa, Galle marked the debut of Radisson Hotel Group's luxury lifestyle brand, Radisson Collection, in Southeast Asia and the Pacific. The resort pairs 106 rooms, suites, and penthouses with dining at Catch Restaurant & Society Bar and Namikaze Restaurant & Bar. Its signature White Lotus Spa & Wellness brings Ayurvedic treatments and oceanfront hydrotherapy to a stay within easy reach of Unawatuna and the UNESCO-listed Galle Fort.

"We wanted the experience at White Lotus to feel distinctly connected to Sri Lanka's southern coast. You can spend the morning walking through Galle Fort, then come back to the resort for an Ayurvedic treatment and finish the afternoon in the infinity pool overlooking the Indian Ocean," said Eduard Sarton, General Manager of Radisson Collection Resort & Spa, Galle. "That's the kind of stay we set out to create in Talpe. Winning three awards in our first year is a proud moment for the team that brought it to life."
