Luxury Escapes announces its latest Signature Series
Bec Judd takes Luxury Escapes to Sri Lanka
In news that sounds like a fever dream conjured after three turmeric lattes and a scroll through Instagram’s most photogenic mothers, Luxury Escapes has announced its latest Signature Series Tour, a nine-day, eight-night wellness retreat in Sri Lanka, hosted by none other than lifestyle oracle, speech pathologist, and general overachiever Bec Judd.
Yes, you read that right. Sri Lanka. Bec Judd. Yoga. Ayurveda. And quite possibly goats. Not confirmed, but spiritually implied.
Guests will be whisked off via Singapore Airlines to the Santani Wellness Kandy, a five-star sanctuary built on the bones of a former tea plantation. Perched in the misty green folds of Sri Lanka’s central highlands, Santani has been lauded by TIME Magazine, Condé Nast Traveler, Vogue, Forbes, and presumably any deity with taste.
Here, under the watchful eye of an Ayurvedic doctor and several very serene staff members, you’ll be poked, detoxed, stretched, steamed, fed, bathed, and possibly reborn. Not necessarily in that order.
The Activities in Sri Lanka
Expect daily yoga, hatha, not hot, thank the gods, alongside mountain hikes, Ayurvedic consultations, nutritional workshops based on Rasa Haya (which, for the uninitiated, is not a dance move but a taste-based nutrition philosophy), and award-winning hydrotherapy sessions where your chakras may be realigned by a jet of mountain-filtered water.
Also on the agenda are cultural excursions, guided nature walks, spa treatments galore, and enough herbal tea to irrigate the Ganges.
Bec Judd in Sri Lanka
Bec Judd, Australia’s poster woman for glossy multitasking, will be your luminous guide through all of this. When she’s not designing interiors, running brands, co-hosting podcasts, or raising four small humans, she’s apparently levitating over salt pools in the name of wellness.
“As a mum of four and someone constantly on the go,” says Judd, “I know how important it is to reset.” Which is true, though for most of us “reset” involves yelling into a pillow and not flying to Sri Lanka with a matching activewear set.
Still, Bec promises serenity, transformation, and a farewell dinner with seven courses. (No word on whether one of them is wine, but we live in hope.)
Luxury Escapes Package Inclusions (Deep Breath):
- 7 nights at Santani Wellness Kandy with tailored wellness programming
- 5 luxury spa treatments (likely involving oils, possibly chanting)
- A full Ayurvedic cuisine menu based on your dosha, or perhaps your star sign
- Morning and evening yoga classes. yes, twice daily. It’s a wellness bootcamp, not a beach holiday
- Sauna, steam room, salt soak pool, and time to cry quietly in a robe
- Welcome dinner (3 courses) and farewell feast (7 courses) hosted by Bec herself
- Pre-retreat night in Negombo to emotionally prepare
- Unlimited fresh juice and herbal tea because caffeine is for the unenlightened
- All from $7,999* including flights
The retreat is capped at 32 guests
This retreat is capped at 32 guests, presumably to limit the number of people who can post sunrise yoga selfies from the same hilltop.
So, there you have it. Enlightenment, courtesy of luxury branding, gentle Himalayan breezes, and one of Australia’s most glamorous multi-hyphenates.
If you’ve ever wanted to detox, decompress, while being told your pitta is out of whack, this is your moment.
Namaste. Or at least, Nama-stay hydrated.
