Villa Maya is located in Tangalle in the southern region of Sri Lanka. The town draws villa vacationers with its palm-fringed beaches, glimmering sea waters, water sports (it’s a great destination for surfing and snorkeling) and cultural attractions.
From your villa, you’re 10 to 15 minutes’ drive from the beaches of Tangalle and Goyambokka. Come here to soak up the tranquil ambience, breathtaking sunsets and sunbathe upon the powdery shores. Bandula Surfing School is located at Tangalle Beach, so villa vacationers may try out a surf lesson or two while they’re hanging out by the coast. Or kayak across the shimmering waters and mangrove swamps of Tangalle Lagoon (you can do this on your own, or with a guide). The lagoon is located about eight minutes’ drive away.
Located in the region are iconic attractions like the Wewurukannala Vihara, Madunagala Hermitage, Mulkirigala Rock Monastery, The Turtle Conservation Project at Rekawa Beach and Bundala National Park. Feel free to reach out to your villa manager for further information, or if you need assistance with transport and tour bookings.
