Our story

The giver of life's breath

Praana
the breath of life, the vital energy Ayurveda keeps in balance
Dha
to give, to hold, to sustain
Praanadha — the giver of life's breath.

The name is a promise. Every treatment we offer is there to restore that vital energy, not just to relax the body for an hour.

Our journey

Our founder, Dr. D.H. Tennakoon, comes from a family of traditional local medicine practitioners. He spent nearly 30 years as a specialist Ayurvedic surgeon and retired as Director of the National Ayurveda Teaching Hospital, Colombo.

He founded Praanadha in Ahangama in July 2024. Since then we have welcomed more than 9,500 guests, started teaching Ayurveda courses, and begun building a second Praanadha in Weligama.

Our approach

Led by doctors, delivered by trained hands

We treat every guest as a person, not a booking.

  • Doctor-led care

    Specialist treatments such as Shirodhara and Sarvangadhara begin with a consultation with our Ayurvedic doctor, who chooses what suits your body.

  • Chosen for you

    You don't need to know Ayurveda to visit. Choose your treatment when you arrive, and our team will guide you towards what fits how you feel that day.

  • Trained hands

    Every therapist holds a Certificate Course in Ayurveda Therapy. Our most experienced have been practising for more than 15 years.

  • Rooted in tradition

    Our treatments follow Sri Lankan Ayurvedic practice, shaped by our founder's family tradition and decades in clinical Ayurveda. We also offer acupuncture.

  • Simple and honest

    No deposit for spa treatments. You pay at the spa, after your treatment, by cash or card.
