Tisara Villas

Tisara Villas has nine individual pavilions set amidst lush tropical foliage in the rural village of Koggala, just 15 minutes away from the historic city of Galle.

Tisara Villas is an eco retreat ideal for those who enjoy relaxing in lush natural surroundings but don’t really want to give up their creature comforts. The exteriors of the villas blend seamlessly with the garden and forest beyond, yet the interiors are modern, clean and air-conditioned. These villas are perfect for families or anyone just looking to escape it all.

WHAT ITS GOT

The nine villas have been built from natural materials. Traditional mud exterior walls, terracotta flooring, timber ceilings and clay-tiled roofs.

On the inside each villa has two air-conditioned double bedrooms with antique four poster beds. Spacious en-suite bathrooms with a bathtub and open air shower. A comfortable living and dining area with a table that can seat six people. A further 2 children can also be accommodated in the living area if necessary. Wide verandahs with planters’ chairs lead out onto a walled garden. The kitchen is fully equipped and includes a mini-bar.

The villas come with a butler service and are cleaned daily. The entire property has Wi-Fi access.

An attractive swimming pool forms the focal point of the garden and there is a small Ayurveda centre offering relaxing massages.

FOOD & DRINK

There is no restaurant at Tisara Villas. Instead there is a team of in house chefs on hand. Guests can order from the menu and a chef will come and cook meals in your own villa. Sri Lankan, western and fusion dishes are prepared with fresh seafood and vegetables bought from the village and served in traditional clay pots. Alternatively guests can cook for themselves.

Fruit juices and a limited variety of alcoholic beverages are available and guests are welcome to bring their own wine or spirits.

FUN & GAMES

The beautiful south coast beaches of Unawatuna, Thalpe and Habaraduwa are just 10 minutes away from Tisara. Local taxis are very cheap. A 15-minute drive will take you to the historic city of Galle.

Guests can also explore the local village of Koggala by bike and visit the Koggala Folk Museum that provides an insight into Sri Lankan Folk culture. Koggala Lake is good for fishing and scattered with nine picturesque islands.

Back at the villas individual or group Yoga lessons can be organised upon request and linked to guided meditation sessions at a nearby temple. Ayurvedic massage is also on offer.

During the construction of Tisara Villas the owners ensured that for every tree that had to be removed 10 were re-planted in its place. This has ensured that the animal and bird life within the grounds of Tisara has remained as vibrant as possible. You can see 10 of Sri Lanka's indigenous bird species in the garden.
