The villas
Sri Sharavi is a luxury boutique property
with four exquisitely furnished three-
bedroom beach villas and two separate
garden suites. It’s located on a long
stretch of secluded and picturesque
beach. The spacious two-storey villas
are separated from the sea by a 40-metre
infinity pool that stretches across the
front of the entire property, and a lush,
grassy field with coconut palms.
On arrival we were met by the resort’s
general manager, the lovely Marcy
Vale, a Canadian, who gave us a tour
of the grounds and of our villa. Each
of the four villas is individually named
and designed in a distinct colour
scheme inspired by the colours of Sri
Lanka’s precious gemstones: Topaz,
Aquamarine, Amethyst and Peridot.
Our villa, Topaz, came decorated in an
appealing palette of soothing shades of
champagne, orange and earthy browns.
With warm lighting, polished concrete
floors and raw contemporary teakwood
furniture, the effect was subtly chic. The
accent colours ran through the entire
villa, popping up in the upholstery,
cushions and rugs and on the walls.
The design ethos even carries over into
the bathrooms whose many appealing
touches include handcrafted, polished
concrete sinks stained in the respective
colour scheme of the villa.
Each villa can sleep up to six adults
and three children. The ground floor
consists of a spacious living and dining
area, an open-plan pantry and an
