PARTNER CONTENT FOR VILLA MAYURANA


Villa Mayurana SRI LANKA


Villa Mayurana is an all-suite villa perched on a hill in the middle of a cinnamon plantation. It’s near the town of Ahangama on Sri Lanka’s south coast, with its name meaning ‘where the peacocks dance’ in Sinhala — the native language of the Sinhalese people, who make up the largest ethnic group in Sri Lanka. The villa has beautiful tropical gardens that are roamed by wild peacocks. Guests get to enjoy luxury without limitations in absolute privacy, close to some of the finest beaches on the island such as Mirissa, Thalpe, Weligama and Unawatuna. The villa has four colonial style suites, a 20-metre infinity pool, gm, spa, five-star kitchen, full-time chef, Jacuzzi and secret garden. The infinity pool provides a stunning view of


the Koggala Lagoon, which keeps the kitchen supplied with a stream of fresh lagoon crab, wild tiger prawns and numerous types of fish, which the villa chefs can turn out to suit different taste buds. The heritage-style spa uses ancient ayurvedic oils for a sense of wellness and the fitness room is equipped accordingly to ensure a healthy and effective approach to exercise.


Guests have the opportunity to take part in the


‘Cinnamon Experience’, where they’re taught the highly skilled art of growing, peeling and rolling cinnamon. Another in-house experience offered is the ‘Wanderlust’ package, a wellness retreat offering guests meditation and yoga classes, spa sessions, workshop time and excursions to spiritual places of importance. Other exciting activities include whale and


dolphin watching, surfing, snorkelling, lake boat safaris and birdwatching, tea plantation visits, turtle hatchery and releasing of baby turtles, visits to historic places of worship and national parks, to name just a few. Experience the holiday of a lifetime at Villa


Mayurana, which is tastefully furnished with handpicked antique masterpieces and staffed by a friendly team for whom nothing is too much trouble. From planning the guests’ itinerary to airport drop and pick up services and arranging a personal chauffeur to explore this magical paradise island, villas by Edwards Collection will ensure an enjoyable and memorable holiday.
