Imagine ...

 

  • swimming in your private plunge pool, having cocktails on your deck, dining under the stars, watching hundreds of fruit bats fly overhead at sunset.
     

  • bathing under a cascading rain shower, rejuvenating with a 4-hand massage,  drifting on the water during a floating sound bath.
     

  • gliding on a boat through a mangrove jungle, cooking a Sri Lankan meal, participating in a spice mixing workshop, and learning to roast your own coffee
     

  • waking up in your own private villa to the sound of birdsong.

Romantic

​

Romance blossoms in our waterfront estate.  Each villa offers a secluded sanctuary.  ​

​

Say I love you with flower petals on the bed, a flower arrangement in the villa, and a floating heart in the pool.
