I spent three weeks here and it really is paradise. The gym is great and the trainer is really good. All of the staff are lovely and helpful. The food in the cafe is so tasty and all really fresh and good for you. My favourite class was calisthenics and my favourite food was probably the veg fritta with peacamole. This place is a must visit!

The remaining 2 can be spotted on a Dolphin and Whale watching tour where there are resident sperm whales as well as the elusive Blue Whale and super pods of spinner dolphins.

Highs
- Workouts tailored to your ability from fitness experts that push you to challenge yourself in a safe and nurturing environment.
- Surrounded by jungle and overlooking the beach, The BNKR is both stunning and serene.
- The variety of classes creates a flexible approach and means you can take it at your own pace opting into as many workouts as you are up to.
- The ‘back-to-nature’ wellness approach is reflected throughout the accommodation, fitness programme and food.
- Truly indulge in the nature of the surroundings and offset your carbon footprint by assisting in the mangrove planting projects and embrace the plastic-free nature of this fitness break.
- Feel the fresh sea breeze of the Indian Ocean as you work out in the open-air beach gym.
Lows
- If you like the hustle and bustle of city life, then this might not be the place for you as it is situated in an untouched beach paradise largely disconnected from the rest of Sri Lanka.
- Colombo airport is located 180 minutes away, so expect a little drive when you arrive.
- During the kitesurfing season (December to March and June to September) the resort is quite busy, however a lot of guests like to get involved in the kitesurfing activities. If you would rather a more peaceful fitness break, then you might want to consider booking at a quieter time of year.
