Take a look inside The Divine Villa

In the serenity and lushness of forested woods close to Unawatuna and Galle, in southern west province of Sri Lanka, nestles the gem of a luxury boutique villa known as The Divine Villa. Affording splendid panoramic views from its vantage position of a hilltop location, this 750sq metres of property combines colonial architecture design and built within unmatched landscape and tea plantation spanning 5,000 sq metres. It is owned by a French couple who sought the architectural expertise and services of Sri Lankan architect Manjula Kalhara de Silva and engineer G. Mahesh Nandana. Within its nourishing and breathtaking environment, guests get to select from a range of individual villas with their own unique and tasteful interior design and facilities to book their stays, or rent out the whole villa for an extended large group.

Breakfast was generous with 2 choices: continental and 'local'. We only went for the continental which was very nice: fresh fruits, fresh juice, slice of delicious bread and eggs + sausages. We pretty much liked everything: service, location, view, food...

The villa is amazing, with a beautiful pool with a view, great staff and delicious food. I felt like a valued guest, who is being taken care of with pleasure. Everything is new, clean and cozy, many small details that create a special atmosphere. Delicious food and good wine. In the bar, tea and coffee from the coffee machine are unlimited and free. The place in the jungle is very picturesque, and only 5 minutes drive to the coast, the staff easily organizes a tuk-tuk. The payment terminal works depending on your mood, it’s better to stock up on cash.

Absolutely incredible property with the most lovely staff! The staff helped us with anything we needed and were so kind to us and our baby. We stayed in a villa that was separate to the main house which was perfect for our little family. Oh and the food that the manager made was the best food we had in Sri Lanka! Have the chicken curry for dinner!

A treat in the middle of greenery. Superb location and building history of the Villa. It was really a wonderful place to stay. Food is very tasty, best Chicken Kottu tried in Sri Lanka. Nespresso coffee machine is a plus to wake up with in the morning. Spectacular view, just as the sounds of nature. Would recommend to 💯

For our first trip in Sri Lanka, we could not expect more. The villa is beautiful, the employees are always smiling and friendly. Special recognition to "Doni" the cooker and her incredible seefood. Organization was excellent : Scooter rent, safari trip, Adam's peak excursion and much more. Swimming pool in the middle of the jungle , close to monkeys and Peacock. The place to go, without hesitation.

The villa is stunning from the moment you walk in and see the sweeping views and beautiful pool and relaxing pool area. From there on it only gets better as the staff is very attentive and accommodating (even with a large group like ours), and the interior/ rooms have a lovely mix of being cozy and elegant. Have recommended it to all my friends, and cannot wait to visit again! Excellent for large groups or a family getaway!
