Home to three freestanding bedroom villas, each with their own indoor and outdoor living areas, this modern Balinese style villa is a superb destination for families and groups of friends.

The villa is set in spacious tropical gardens and has an expansive living/dining room that opens widely onto a pool terrace with panoramic views down over a canopy of palms. Each of the bedroom pavilions is very well equipped and some have gorgeous open-air showers and bathtubs. A traditional kitchen with open hearth sits to the back of the property from where you can watch the staff preparing Sri Lankan meals or enjoy a lesson in local cuisine.
