Welcome to Villa Ranawara, a magnificent 7-bedroomed beachfront villa located on an impressive 23 acre estate on the south coast of the beautiful island country of Sri Lanka. Perched at the edge of the Indian Ocean in plush tropical gardens, Ranawara offers guests all the luxuries of our modern world in secluded, peaceful surroundings.
This beautiful privately-owned home is aptly named after the bright yellow Ranawara flower which blossoms all-year round and is indigenous to this area of Sri Lanka. The villa features 400 metres of private beach from where you can watch the local fishermen bringing in their catch. The gardens are home to hundreds of exotic fruit trees including oranges, bananas, wood apple, dragon fruit, papaya, cinnamon, mango and even a coconut grove.
The property is very spacious with the main building comprising over 1,000 square metres of open-plan living. You have the luxury of lots of space, yet the house still maintains a wonderful feeling of intimacy. It really is the perfect place to spend quality time with your family or with groups of friends. Whether it be for a special occasion, or simply a getaway holiday, you will be sure to make extraordinary memories at Villa Ranawara.
This beautiful south-facing oceanfront property is beautifully furnished and decorated with subtle earthy colors, locally made wooden furniture and handwoven rugs for maximum effect. The living areas at Ranawara are made up of a grand sitting room with air-conditioned library on the ground floor and an open-sided relaxation room including a bar area on the first floor, with panoramic all-round views of the gardens, ocean and nearby lakes. The ground floor library is furnished with a round table for indoor games and a sofa and sprawling armchairs for comfortable reading and quiet reflection. The ground floor living area also provides access to the fabulous gourmet kitchen and a dining area which can seat up to 14. The villa also features an L-shaped TV/Cinema room with projector and screen.
5 of the 7 bedrooms occupy both floors of the villa, whilst for those seeking more privacy, 2 more are located in a separate bungalow in the garden, yet near enough to the main building to access the amenities.
Outside, in the beautiful gardens, you will find a massage pavilion where you can enjoy private relaxing spa treatments and massages in complete serenity. Treatments are available upon request from our qualified therapist. A 30 metre infinity pool is located to the front of the property and partially surrounded by a patio furnished with sun-loungers for those who wish to soak up the sun. For outdoor dining, there is an elaborate open-sided pavilion located poolside. The professional hard tennis court features floodlights for evening play.
When you stay at Ranawara, you will enjoy the luxury of a full team of round-the-clock staff including Resident Property Manager, Chefs, Butlers, Room Attendants, Housekeepers and Security. You will enjoy all the splendor of staying at a 5-star hotel resort yet in the privacy of your own villa, with unparalleled service at all times. Your staff will be happy to suggest and organize a range of unique wildlife and cultural excursions for your enjoyment.
DINING
Whilst Ranawara includes a full staff to ensure that you will have the most enjoyable and relaxing holiday possible, full board is compulsory at a fee of US$50 per adult per day and US$25 per child (Ages 5 – 12 years). Your personal chef is quite happy to delight you with traditional Sri Lankan fare or contemporary international dishes from the East and West, your choice. On a typical Sri Lankan menu, you can expect to enjoy rice and unique delicious curries supplemented with homemade breads and an array of colorful and flavorsome sambols (side dishes). Your meals can be served in the informal yet elegant setting of the dining room or al fresco in the beautifully set up pool-side dining pavilion. If you have dedicated foodies in your group, chef is happy to invite them to join him on his daily trip to the local markets and will even give a cookery lesson at the villa.

LOCATION
Sri Lanka - even the name of this island country creates a sense of mystical romanticism. Poetically known as the “Teardrop of India”, Sri Lanka is surrounded by the Indian Ocean and is made up of sugar, spice and everything nice, bordered by beautiful beaches and lush green rainforests. I think that perhaps “Jewel of India” would be a more apt description. Villa Ranawara has a perfect location on the South Coast of Sri Lanka in an area known as the Hambantota District. The nearest town is Tangalle, just 30 minutes’ drive away.
There is so much to experience in the surrounding area. Nature lovers will be delighted to know that Villa Ranawara is located next door to the Kalamatiya Bird Sanctuary which is home to many tropical and migratory birds. Wild peacocks and guinea fowl roam the property and monkeys are regularly spotted in the trees. You can even join a Turtle Conservation Project nearby, overseeing nesting and safe sea-return of hatchlings. Whale and Dolphin watching is popular during October to April. The many surf breaks along the South Coast make this a popular area for surfers. Temples, National Parks and even a UNESCO World Heritage Site are all within driving distance of Ranawara.
This villa is a beachfront home. It should be noted that beaches change their shape and size from day to day, week to week and month to month, mainly as a response to seasonal waves, currents and tides. Every effort has been made to depict the beach in front of this property, but temporary changes may occur.
Please note: The beach experiences seasonal fluctuations in its accessibility.
