Tucked away in the peaceful jungle of Ahangama, SOUL HOUSE is a retreat space made for rest, reconnection and community. With views across paddy fields and a gentle rhythm of nature all around, it is a place where guests can truly slow down and feel at home. We can accommodate up to 10 guests in total, with four thoughtfully designed rooms in the main villa. Each room has its own unique character, blending comfort with simplicity and a touch of local charm. Our yoga shala is at the heart of SOUL HOUSE. It is a cool terrazzo floored space, infused with hand picked crystals to help ground calming and balancing energies into the property. Fully equipped with locally made mats, bolsters, straps and blocks, it is also supported with a whiteboard and projector, making it ideal for yoga teacher trainings and workshops. Our food is a big part of what makes SOUL HOUSE special. Meals are prepared by our in house chef with a focus on plant based and Ayurvedic cooking. We offer both half board and full board options, and can adjust meal times to suit the flow of your retreat or holiday. We care deeply about our impact and try to keep things as natural and sustainable as possible, from our handmade toiletries and eco friendly cleaning products to the way we support local producers and use what is in season. Just a short tuk tuk ride from Ahangama town and the beach, SOUL HOUSE feels worlds away. Whether you are hosting a retreat or simply coming to rest and explore the south coast, we are here to welcome you warmly and help you settle in. This is more than just a place to stay. It is a space to reconnect with yourself and others, surrounded by beauty care and intention.

Hi, I am Elspeth, founder of SOUL HOUSE and your host here in beautiful Ahangama. I moved to Sri Lanka from the UK with a vision to create a space where people could slow down reconnect and share meaningful experiences. After years of running retreats across Europe and the UK I felt called to build something of my own rooted in community creativity and care. Hosting is something I genuinely love. Whether it is helping you feel at home sharing local tips or making sure everything flows smoothly behind the scenes I want your time at SOUL HOUSE to feel easy and nourishing. I am a trained chef with a background in plant based and Ayurvedic cooking a certified health coach and a sound healing practitioner. You will often find me in the kitchen in the garden or chatting to guests about food wellness or finding moments of stillness in daily life. I am supported by an amazing team who help keep SOUL HOUSE running with love and intention. We cannot wait to welcome you.
