Araliya Sri Villas is part of an exciting boutique property that includes three separate villas: Araliya, Sagara and Nisala. All three villas offer refined luxury on a beautiful and unspoilt stretch of coastline just south of Bentota.  While the villas are equipped to cater to the expectations of modern living, much of the design is based on traditional Sri Lankan homes. High vaulted ceilings, tall louvered doors and windows shading large open spaces provide wonderful ventilation and allow the cooling ocean breeze to permeate the property.  Sri Villas is the perfect location for a special celebration for groups – a wedding, birthday or family reunion – and is becoming increasing popular for couples and small families wanting stylish accommodation with direct sea views on a safe swimming beach.

Accommodation
Sitting on the left of the property as you look out to sea, Sri Villas Araliya has four air-conditioned bedrooms: two master suites with en suite bathrooms on the second floor, and a junior suite with en suite bathroom and a twin bedroom on the ground floor. Like the other villas, Araliya has generous dining and living spaces plus a wonderful, part open-plan kitchen with a bar. There are two private balconies upstairs and a large verandah downstairs. The villa enjoys excellent views of the garden and ocean.

Facilities
In front of the villas there is a stunning 30-metre swimming pool with steps leading to a shallow section on one side, ideal for children. Enjoy traditional Sri Lankan curries, fresh seafood dishes and a variety of Asian and International cuisine. Menus will be discussed with guests on a daily basis so that fresh ingredients can be purchased by the staff in nearby markets. Indeed, one of the key selling points of Sri Villas is the fact that the food, despite being delicious, is offered “at cost” which means that you save a considerable amount compared to other accommodation of a comparable quality. On request, a table may be set up outside the living spaces for you to enjoy a special, intimate dinner. Laundry from Sri Villas is sent to a professional company in the area for cleaning. Sri Villas has its own trained English-speaking staff in residence so that guests can completely relax and feel at home. Baby-sitting can be arranged with prior notice.

Excursions
Watch life unfolding just in front of the villa as the catamarans are pulled ashore after a night of fishing out at sea – a much awaited occasion each morning where all get involved in tugging the boat shore with songs in their heart and hope of a bountiful catch.   There is also much to do just in and around Induruwa including water skiing, river cruises, temple visits, bird watching, and a turtle hatchery that assists in the preservation of the endangered Marine Turtles that come to nest on the beaches surrounding Induruwa.
