Surrounded by three acres of frangipani and meticulous rows of coconut trees, Rock Villa’s serene sanctuary encompasses a 180-year-old Walauwwa, the name given to ancestral heritage homes. The oft imitated welcome popsicle, our blend of fresh mint and tangy passionfruit, sets the tone for an indulgent stay where every detail matters.

Filled with Sri Lankan collectibles and a palette of white, beige and pops of turquoise, Rock Villa’s sprawling property is laid-back tropical indulgence. Laze in an unspoiled beach beyond the single-track railway line, dip in one of the azure-blue pools, meander through the cooling mangroves, enter bliss in the spa or retreat into one of nine varied, well-appointed rooms.

Artfully-plated gastronomy and antique hand-carved wooden trellises for discretion elevate your stay from start-to-finish. An astounding display of over 90 pieces of work by celebrated local artists grace the walls of this silent art exposition. Rock Villa epitomises comfort in abundance for a cherished family holiday or a quiet getaway.
