Also included in your stay are the services of a skilled chef, who specializes in Sri Lankan cooking, a housekeeper and security guard so you won’t need to lift a finger.
Since the villa sits on the beach you can explore the pristine coastline, swim or simply sun bathe by the sea. A turtle hatchery is within 5 minutes walking distance.

Beautiful villa, amazing location, outstanding staff!
I don't often write reviews but after having such an amazing holiday I feel compelled to. The Villa itself is well laid out and I really enjoyed the lifestyle it creates. We are a family from the UK with a 4 year old daughter and I am an architect. We have stayed in 5 star hotels all over the world and many luxury villas in Europe. The combination of luxury villa with 5 star attentive staff works so well. Prabath and Ayesh were always there if we needed something but also gave us total privacy. The food they prepared us (local and western) was always fresh and tasty and they often made 3 different versions as my daughter can be choosy and my wife is vegan. Prabath collects provisions daily so it's super fresh. The beach really is 15 meters from the living area at the foot of the garden and it is beautiful soft sand. The waves can be seen and heard from any spot in the Villa. The infinity pool is perfect. If your looking for peace, tranquility, luxury and comfort - you found it. Read Full testimonial
Lovely stay and smooth & express check in
We had a lovely stay at your beautiful Villa. Vibes of this place are so positive and actually like a home away from home. Had an express check in as we were so tired at the day of check in. As we arrived early morning. The owner and management ensured the smooth early check in complimentary for us. Also got extra pillows for our room. Wish we could have stayed for longer duration. Will surely visit this property for our next stay with entire family. Read Full testimonial
