Villa Amandhira
- 968 Matara Road, Thalpe
.Right on the beach in Thalpe, between Galle and Matara, Villa Amandhira is a stylish and private three bedroom villa that works particularly well for families and groups. With Galle, Dondra and some of the south coast’s best beaches within easy reach, it is a great base for exploring the area.
The villa combines contemporary design with plenty of Sri Lankan character, using reclaimed timber, local touches and lots of greenery throughout. It is also genuinely eco conscious, with solar power, rainwater harvesting and recycling built into the way the villa operates.
What really stands out, though, is the warm and attentive service. The staff make you feel at home from the moment you arrive, while the chef serves excellent Sri Lankan and Western food, with cooking demonstrations and traditional treats at tea time.
With a natural reef pool right outside, a private swimming pool and the Indian Ocean on your doorstep, there is plenty to keep you here. We particularly recommend booking the entire villa and settling into your own little corner of the south coast.
Rooms
Villa Amandhira is an intimate oceanfront retreat designed for families, groups of friends, and travelers seeking privacy and personalized hospitality. Accommodating up to six guests, the villa is best enjoyed when reserved exclusively, allowing guests to experience the full benefits of private service and the tranquil surroundings.
The Tangerine Suite is the villa's most spacious and luxurious accommodation. Located on the upper floor, it boasts breathtaking panoramic ocean views through floor-to-ceiling glass doors that flood the room with natural light. The suite features a king-size four-poster bed, a private living area, a dressing space, and a generously sized ensuite bathroom. Additional bedding can also be accommodated, making it ideal for couples or small families seeking extra space and comfort.
The three rooms of the villa are decorated in the same theme as the main building with stark white walls off settingthe dark brown wooden furniture and fittings. What is beautiful is the pure white netting covering the four-poster beds under the white ceiling with timbre beams and the bright colors of the pillows and throws to go with the theme of the room, peeking out from the white linen through the white netting. It gives a feeling of a dream and instantly puts you in a relaxed mood. The rooms and bathrooms have the best of modern amenities and provide all the modern day comforts such as air-conditioning and safes.
The most luxuriously spacious room, Tangerine, situated in the upper story has one of the most breathtaking views we have ever seen. With floor to ceiling glass doors, the ocean view is unhindered and gorgeous. The room with its own living area and dressing area with a king sized four-poster bed and ensuite bathroom has yet more space for additional bedding if required.
The room Aqua, also situated in the upper story, has its own private balcony overlooking the ocean while the third and final room Safron is situated in the lower level and opens to the green lawn overlooking the ocean. No matter which room you take, the view of the ocean and feeling of the sea breeze will be permanently available to your senses.
Dining
Meals can be had inside or outside the building, both with fabulous views of the beach and ocean, depending on your mood and the weather. The formal dining table inside is adorned with chic furniture and overlooks the beach with unhindered floor to ceiling glass windows which can be kept open if preferred.
Set menus of western and local cuisine is prepared by the chef and his team after discussion with the guests, all ingredients of which are sourced from organic and locally grown farms. We were invited to visit the local farmers market to choose our favorite fruits, vegetables and meats and cooking demonstrations were arranged for our favorite dishes as well. A tuk-tuk was arranged and it was a fun experience to choose our own ingredients, and then have it cooked with us observing and learning. One of the best experience was to visit the early morning fish market and be able to choose the best catch of the day to bring back and have the chef prepare a culinary delight for us.
As guests checking in, we were treated to a refreshing drink of king-coconut water and varying with the seasonal availability of local fruits, all guests are treated to a local refreshment upon arrival. Tea and Coffee is available throughout the day and an evening snack awaited us every evening.
