Experience Lonely Planet's #1 Destination

Vibrant history, innovative culture & spectacular natural life set this Asian paradise apart from the rest of the world.

 

A Dream Destination

Venture beyond our villa to explore magical Sri Lanka—the UNESCO World Heritage Site at Galle, elephant spotting at the nation’s game reserves, tea tasting at the highlands’ plantations—or simply settle in for quality time to reconnect.

 

Unique Yet Authentic Sri Lankan Experience

A unique experience which respects nature, celebrates privacy, and nurtures luxury in equal measure at ‘Taru Villas – Mawella’. Situated among the crystal blue and green shades of Mawella Bay, this boutique hotel has all the makings of a perfect retreat escape.

 

Perfect Waves for All Levels

Get ready to surf clean, azure blue, peeling waves with empty line-ups as our beautiful villa is just minutes away from consistent break during the season.

 

Yoga & Wellness

Yoga and wellness are an important element of your retreat.  Our daily yoga classes focus on opening and strengthening the muscle groups used for surfing & restoring the body after a day on the water.  We include daily meditation, journal work and transformative exercises.  Next, get ready to be pampered with your in-house massage.

This week was everything I expected and so much more. There was enough structure to keep us busy and learning, as well as planned downtime for relaxing and reflecting. The staff was patient and encouraging. The whole retreat radiates with ‘Aloha Spirit’. I’m coming back!

What a week – GREAT Food, GREAT People, GREAT Surfing and GREAT Yoga !!! When it comes to finding things to do with my very rare spare time it was a fantastic choice to spend a week with some of the nicest people that I have ever met anywhere in the world.
