Welcome
” To a few fortunate visitors, Sri Lanka comes to mean more than the sum of its parts – more than the beautiful scenery, the delicious food, the ancient monuments and ‘exotic’ cultures. When they leave, these chosen ones often take away more than they expected; the vision of a quiet, unpressured style of life, a uniquely Sri Lankan concept of ease and elegance.”
Taru Villas is my personal distillation of that ‘something more’: an interpretation of Sri Lankan hospitality and comfort, a personal vision of tropical beauty and luxury. These things inform my sense of design and my approach to everything because, though my life is multiculturally lived, my sensibility is wholly and truly Sri Lankan. Come and share my dream, sample these glorious landscapes and settings, our warm hospitality, my idea of stylish, memorable holidays.

BEACH STAY
Sri Lanka is known for its stunning beaches - each with its own personality. Can't decide whether to chase the perfect wave to surf, sun to tan or sand to chill out on? Don't settle for just one beach experience when you can have it all.
SAFARI STAY
Sri Lanka may be small in size, but it boasts a number of stunning national parks, each with a diverse range of flora and fauna. You'll encounter Mother Nature in all her tropical wonder. The sighting of a beautiful leopard will be a highlight of your stay. Do not miss the exciting experience of a wildlife adventure.
HERITAGE STAY
Sri Lanka is steeped in history; colonised in turn by the Portuguese, Dutch and British, a rich heritage awaits the curious traveller. Do not miss these beautiful historical sites.
CITY STAY
Colombo, the bustling commercial capital of Sri Lanka, serves as the gateway to this glorious island. Whilst in town take in some Colombo culture, cuisine and varied retail therapy. Whether you are visiting for business or leisure, a serene yet central city stay should be on the cards.
FAMILY STAY
Luxury doesn't need to be abandoned when planning a getaway with young ones...it just needs to be 're-defined' a little. Plan your trip with them in mind.
