Sri Villas, Bentota

Sri Villas is one of the few privately owned properties on the southwest coast of Sri Lanka that can truly be called beachfront with its undisturbed panoramic views of the Indian Ocean. Sitting at the end of a beautiful, rarely visited beach that stretches for half a kilometer, the garden at Sri Villas seamlessly blends into the golden sand.

Sri Villas is the last word in elegant beachfront living. Ten minutes south of Bentota Beach, and five before Kosgoda Beach, is the charming town of Induruwa – home to Sri Villas. The Villas are just 69km away from Colombo. Unlike many of the busier coastal towns, Induruwa enjoys a very peaceful and traditional existence.

While the villas are equipped to cater to the expectations of modern living, much of the design is based on traditional Sri Lankan homes. High vaulted ceilings, tall louvered doors and windows shading large open spaces provide wonderful ventilation and allow the cooling ocean breeze to permeate the property.

Rooms

Sri Villas has three elegant two-storey villas, which can be rented separately or together and comfortably accommodate up to 18 guests. In front of the villas is a stunning 30-metre lap pool with steps leading to a shallow section on one side, which is ideal for children. Each villa has luxuriously appointed interiors, generous living and dining spaces, private kitchens, spacious balconies and master suites with oversized en suite bathrooms.

Sagara Villa

The villa stands on the right of the property as you look out to sea, has three bedrooms (all master suites, king-size beds, each with en suite bathrooms) private dining, living and kitchen areas. Two of the suites are on the second floor (with air-conditioning) and one on the ground floor, with natural breezes and a ceiling fan (plus its own outdoor shower). All the bedrooms have their own balcony or verandah providing breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean. In front of the villa is the garden, which leads directly to the beach. This villa sleeps .

Nisala villa

This villa is set in the middle overlooking the swimming pool. It has two wonderful master suites on the second floor each with king-size beds and en suite bathrooms, a very large private dining and living area, an open plan modern kitchen with bar and a vaulted ceiling that reaches all the way to the roof. Each master suite is air-conditioned and has a large private balcony with beautiful views of the Indian Ocean. This is the perfect villa for entertaining and sleeps 4.

Araliya Villa

On request, a table may be set up outside the villa living space and even on the beach for you to have an intimate, private dinner. Chef will also surprise you with afternoon cakes and tea!

There are more gentle pursuits such as river cruises and hiking through local villages and paddy fields. For those in search of culture, the nearby home and exotic gardens of Sri Lanka’s famous architect Geoffrey Bawa are open to the public. Sri Villas is less than an hour away from the historic city of Galle with its world heritage Dutch Fort and international cricket pitch. Either take a trip to Hikkaduwa or Unawatuna, or, stay close by and enjoy the local ancient temples, turtle hatcheries and relax at a choice of Ayurvedic spas in the area.

Spa

Ayurveda is an ancient system of medicine developed long before Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, was born. The name comes from two conjoined Sanskrit words ‘Ayuh’ (life) and ‘Veda’ (science or knowledge).
Ayurveda has two aims: to preserve health and cure the body, soul and mind. There are many Ayurvedic spas close to Sri Villas that provide a range of treatments. We can also arrange treatments at the villas under the bale in the garden. Yoga masters are available for private lessons at Sri Villas. Guests may also enjoy massages in the privacy of Sri Villas.
