Thalduwa Island Villas is a group of four recently built luxury villas, situated on a small island in a peaceful jungle location on the banks of the Goviyapana River, two and a half hours from Colombo airport and near Galle Fort. Only a mile inland from the busy coast road and the area’s top surfing beaches, the villas are secluded from one other for individual villa rental, yet close enough for guests in larger groups to take more than one villa and still be able to stay near to each other. Each villa has its own individual pool. Each villa offers spacious and elegant indoor and outdoor living areas, perfect for entertaining and relaxing. The style is both classic and contemporary, with the decor combining Sri Lankan artefacts with comfortable, modern furnishings. The villas are fully staffed and catered.
