Summary
When considering a trip to Sri Lanka, one envisions golden beaches, vibrant culture, diverse landscapes, and exhilarating safaris. Esteemed as the Wonder of Asia, Sri Lanka is an essential travel destination. For those seeking a luxurious complement to their Sri Lankan adventure, Haritha Villas + Spa in Hikkaduwa, situated on the island’s southwest coast, offers a remarkable retreat that redefines hospitality, providing a distinctly personalized experience that will resonate long after departure.
Upon arrival at Haritha Villas, guests are greeted with a refreshing beverage and introduced to their personal villa master. This dedicated individual is responsible for attending to all requirements during the stay, whether within the resort or as a knowledgeable guide for those wishing to discover the diverse offerings of Hikkaduwa. Just 900 meters from the beach—merely a 3-minute ride in a private tuktuk—guests can relax on an exclusive section reserved for Haritha Villa patrons along the expansive stretch of pristine shoreline.
A brief walk through verdant gardens leads to your private villa, sequestered from the outside world by a lush wall of tropical foliage. While the breathtaking infinity pool at Haritha Villas undeniably beckons, there is an unmistakable charm to having your own private plunge pool. The floor-to-ceiling glass doors in your villa can be opened to merge the interior with the natural surroundings, complemented by a covered patio and sun loungers, providing ample space for relaxation following a swim.
Indulge in leisurely mornings characterized by sumptuous breakfast served in bed, all complemented by the melodic songs of Sri Lanka’s diverse bird species. Expect to rise refreshed and invigorated as your butler presents a selection of freshly brewed Ceylon tea along with your choice of exquisitely prepared breakfast delicacies. Anticipate exquisite French Toast, Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon and mango chutney, freshly baked pastries, and an array of tropical fruits.
Continue your culinary exploration with dinner at the on-site restaurant—or within your villa—where you can relish an international menu inspired by Asian and South American flavors, enhanced by Mediterranean touches and authentic Italian cuisine—a nod to Umberto, the Italian General Manager. Haritha Villas elevates hospitality, allowing for unscripted dining experiences. As the architect of your own menu, if there is a particular dish you desire that is not on the menu, the globally experienced former Four Seasons Executive Chef, Jude, would be pleased to accommodate your request.
Your experience at Haritha Villas would not be considered complete without a visit to the renowned spa. The Jungle Spa serves as a premier holistic wellness center, offering a comprehensive suite of treatments and experiences, encompassing traditional Ayurvedic medicine, soothing rituals, and indulgent facials, including manicures and pedicures. Should you not feel rejuvenated after your stay at Haritha Villas, you certainly will after a day at the Jungle Spa.
Enhance your wellness journey with a personalized Ayurveda program facilitated by one of two in-house Ayurveda practitioners, lasting from 7 to 21 days. Experience an Ayurveda Panchakarma Detox, acupuncture, and acupressure singing bowl treatments, utilizing only the highest quality organic Ayurveda products from reputable brands such as Elemis and Margaret Dabbs.
