Haritha Villas and Spa, Weligama

Perched on a peaceful hillside under a canopy of trees, Haritha Villas & Spa enjoys a truly idyllic setting amidst the most green and lush of surroundings, where elegant peacocks strut across the lawns and monkeys chatter in the trees. The resort offers attentive and personalised service with a handpicked team of Villa Masters, outstanding accommodation with a high level of privacy, bespoke destination dining, and a tailor made Ayurvedic wellness journey.

The resort comprises seven stylish contemporary villas with plunge pools sculpted into the hillside and offering the ultimate in privacy, and two grand colonial-style mansions, sharing an 86m2 infinity pool. The two mansions, a one bedroom and a two bedroom, can be reserved exclusively or booked separately.

Dining is 'unscripted' and exquisite dishes can be made to a guest's culinary preference, and with its farm-to-table concept, dishes are created using organic produce from the resort's own kitchen garden and locally sourced ingredients. Guests are not restricted to set menus. They may meet with the Executive Chef to discuss their culinary preferences, and tailor-made dishes will then be prepared and served whenever and wherever. Dining is open from 07.00am until 11.00pm.

Sitting high on the hillside is the main infinity pool with a poolside sala and splendid views of the valley below. Private beach facilities are just three minutes from the hotel via complimentary tuk-tuk. There are complimentary early morning yoga lessons and a well-equipped 24-hour gym and set amidst the verdant vegetation, the Jungle Spa provides a personalised Ayurvedic experience with holistic wellness programmes.

The resort is best suited to adults. Families, with children who are aged 12 years and upwards, will be best-suited to the Colonial Mansions.
