Ulpotha, Sri Lanka Drawing those seeking a retreat for thousands of years, this eco village in the heart of Sri Lanka offers a natural sanctuary for those who need a yoga or Ayruveda getaway. Possibly the definition of ‘peaceful,’ the all-inclusive retreat will get you consultation with an Ayruveda doctor, excursions, massages, yoga classes, and access to facilities like saunas and hot water bathing. For the six months of the year it’s not accepting guests, it reverts back to a traditional working village committed to organic farming and reforestation of the land.

EcoYoga, Scotland Rolling green hills, sparkling waterfalls, and crumbling hillside ruins: all part of a gorgeous backdrop for your next vinyasa flow. The retreat is perched beside a river and often invites leading yoga instructors to teach a variety of courses throughout the year. One of our favourite parts? EcoYoga stays committed to its name and is fully sustainable, generating its own electricity and only using water from the nearby natural spring. As a guest, you can even help out with the gardening, forest creation, or wood chopping.
