Tamarind Sands

Chic, contemporary and ultra comfortable Tamarind Sands is a show stopping villa on Sri Lanka’s southern coast. Perfectly poised at the eastern edge of a gorgeous sandy bay, guests will enjoy direct access to the soft golden sands below, while the sunrise and sunset views from the villa are simply spectacular. Follow the soundtrack of the ocean through the hallway, past the kitchen where the skilled chef and his team prepares all meals using ingredients from local farmers and markets and including delicious fruit platters and picnics on the beach if guests choose – and into the open plan living area. This is furnished with super soft seating for indoor relaxation and a long dining table, which extends out onto the terrace looking out to the breathtaking Indian Ocean. The picturesque terrace is furnished with elegant wooden sun loungers and parasols, positioned beside the inviting infinity pool (with children’s area) for basking in the views beyond the tropical garden. 

On the ground floor you’ll find one en suite bedroom with ocean views, that opens to the pool terrace. On the first floor there are four bedrooms, each with private balconies and undisturbed ocean views; the master and junior suites both have bathtubs on their balconies. This is the perfect house for yoga lovers as there is a beautiful open air yoga and Ayurveda studio located at the end of the hall on the first floor facing the ocean. Keep heading upstairs and you reach the villa’s rooftop garden, complete with a vegetable and spice garden and a bar for sipping cocktails at sunset – the Villa Manager is a mixologist! The final two bedrooms are past the pool in the garden, each with a private garden shower, perfect for teenagers or young adults. 

One of the great advantages of a villa is the personal service provided by the dedicated staff. An English-speaking team of six led by a Villa Manager will understand your individual expectations and preferences, and create an intimate yet discreet service and experience for a truly memorable holiday.

Important information

The kitchen is the heart of the villa, and it’s where you will find Supun, the skilled, yet very humble chef. He is dedicated to using produce from local farmers and purchasing fresh fish from local markets or straight from the fisherman. Every morning after returning from the market with fresh vegetables and seafood, you will find him checking up on the vegetable and spices in the garden. Supun has many years of experience and is eager to share his knowledge about Sri Lankan cuisine and spices. Menus are available on request.
