Hugging close to the coastline of Dikwella, Ani Villas Sri Lanka is an expansive beachfront villa complex containing two individual villas - the eight bedroom Villa Monara, and seven bedroom Villa Divia. Set upon a sprawling tropical garden, the villa complex sits atop a bluff on the central south coasts, commanding a stunning view of pristine white shores and azure blue waters. A luxury vacation rental like no other, Ani Villas Sri Lanka boasts lush amenities, fine interiors and impeccable service.
At the end of a fun-filled day, it is time to sink down into a deep slumber. Holidaymakers at Villa Monara will gladly retreat into the well-appointed bedrooms within the villa. Four of the bedrooms are capacious master suites, while the remaining four are suites.
Set upon a sprawling garden, the picturesque grounds of Villa Monara contains tropical blooms and towering palms. Guests at this dreamy vacation abode will enjoy lounging about in the breezy open plan salas, or taking dips in the expansive beachfront swimming pool. A children’s pool with water slide facilities ensures that the young ones will have a wild time frolicking out in their water playground. The arrival of dusk is a signal for vacation makers to slip out of the swimming pool, and make their way towards the pool bar for a round of sundowners.
Built for rest and relaxation, the interiors of Villa Monara are a pleasing and comforting sight. Wooden fixtures and light colours create an ambience of cosiness, while tasteful ornaments spice up the soothing simplicity of its interiors. Guests can enjoy a quiet evening browsing through their favourite books in the library, or indulge in a cheerful session of games and film watching in the entertainment room.

10/10This was literally a heaven on earth where every possible wish was attended to effortlessly and with such warmth and grace. This is our fourth Ani stay and each one is better than the last. Love that all the activities and meals/drinks are included and unlike many resorts where that results in dubious quality this is five star dining! Love the beautifully designed rooms that are oversized and especially liked that our room had its very own plunge pool and private sitting area. Counting the days until we can come again.
10/10Highly recommended! The ANI Sri Lanka was amazing. The room was spacious and thoughtfully decorated with everything needed, and especially loved the beautiful views of the ocean and lush greenery. The resort itself is beautiful with an infinity pool, beautiful tropical vegetation and direct access to the secluded beach just down the stairs. There were also lots of activities such as tennis, gym, waterslide, shuffleboard and more. The food was delicious with a very talented and attentive kitchen staff and I also had a wonderful massage. They treat you so well here that it was hard to leave! Dinesh and staff also made it easy to visit in town around Dikwella, and also easy transfer to/from the airport in Colombo. Also, I felt very comfortable with all the staff being vaccinated, and they easily arranged for me to get my PCR test at the resort for my flight the next day. If you're looking for a luxurious, beautiful place to stay and treat yourself, you should come stay at ANI!
10/10I originally booked Ani for a group vacation because of how beautiful the property was. And it delivered: the grounds are beautiful, full of colorful flowers; the views are outstanding; the pools, jacuzzis and outdoor spaces are well maintained; and the home itself is a work of modern art. But what we experienced at Ani was so much more. The bedrooms were perfectly suited for rest and relaxation with comfortable beds, expansive bathrooms, powerful A/C, and many have outdoor spaces with wonderful views. The chef-prepared meals were on par with a five star dining experience - creative, fresh, and simply delicious. And the location was perfect: Close to beautiful beaches, excellent restaurants and fun beach bars. With that said, what makes Ani such a special place is the staff. Every single member of the Ani team was warm, welcoming and not only came through on every large/small request, but anticipated our group’s needs and proactively addressed them. The cleaning team was meticulous in maintaining order in all the common spaces and bedrooms, and worked miracles on removing stains from clothing! The grounds and maintenance team was responsive to all of our requests and set up several special events around the property during our stay that made our experience really special. And our day to day guest relations team went the extra mile to make us feel welcome, not only ensuring every meal and activity on the island had the luxury feel to it, but even accompanied us outside of Ani to show us the island and ensure everything ran smoothly. Specifically would like to thank Devon, who was our source of island knowledge and advice (plus a great Moke tour guide); and Jamal who brought creativity and a sense of humor as our award-winning bartender. And all of this ran smoothly because of the team leaders, Hasani and Taura - they were on top of every detail, event and last minute request. It’s one thing to run a tight ship, but quite another to truly engage with the guests to understand how Ani can deliver an exceptional experience. I hope to return one day and would highly recommend this for simply a relaxing vacation or an important special event.
10/10Setting a new level of service It is absolutely impossible to be treated with a level of service and personal attention than our family received at Ani Villas in Sri Lanka. The staff caters to every whim and desire, and every aspect of the vacation was handled with unmatched professionalism, personal care and attention, and unimaginable luxury. The small children in our party received the best care and had personally-designed, age appropriate activity throughout. Their food was completely age appropriate and they devoured each meal. The staff did everything they needed so their parents could enjoy their vacation without a single worry about their kids. Each day allowed a full schedule of spa treatments, all appropriate for the person being treated. We have never received such pampering treatments and everyone could have a treatment every day. Simply wonderful. The food was also above and beyond. Chef Cyril catered to our every whim, and prepared Sri Lankan food according to our dietary needs. No request was too difficult - all with a smile and exceeding our wildest expectations at every single meal. Each dinner had a different surprise and venue. Our two year old twins celebrated a birthday under a custom A frame structure with white lights, and we dined somewhere amazing each night - even in the pool! The beverage services were amazing and no one lifted a finger. From tea in the morning, fruit shakes at the pool, and special glasses for each drink at happy hour, you couldn't ask for better treatment, always gracious with a smile. When you think you've seen it all, something else happens to spoil you. They pick up your sunglasses to clean them, there's a present on your pillow at night, they set up a big screen by the pool for a movie and bring you popcorn - the list goes on and on. I think our vacation expectations are permanently ruined. We don't think we will ever be able to go anywhere else. Dinesh and his staff are quite simply the best you can ever imagine. If you have only one vacation to take for the rest of your life, let this be the one!
