Haritha Villas and Spa blends luxury, tranquillity, with sustainability in a feat of architectural wonder
Location: Tucked away in the Southern Beaches region of Sri Lanka, Haritha Villas and Spa is a sustainable sanctuary in Hikkaduwa. Surrounded by tropical foliage yet only minutes from the coast, it offers a tranquil and secluded retreat where guests can unwind in harmony with nature.
Rooms: Guests can choose from seven contemporary villas, each with a private saltwater plunge pool, or two colonial-style mansions, each with two en-suite rooms and a shared pool. Built with recycled teak, natural stone, marble and polished concrete, the villas blend modern design with eco-conscious touches. Rooftop greenery adds privacy while reducing the property’s environmental footprint. While Haritha is designed for adults, children over 12 are welcome in the mansions, where extra beds can be arranged.
Amenities: Every stay is enhanced by a bespoke butler service, ensuring personalised care from breakfast in bed to arranging tuk-tuks or excursions. The Jungle Spa is a highlight, with an Ayurvedic doctor on hand for tailored wellness treatments, alongside herbal baths, yoga at the lake-view pavilion, and meditation at a nearby monastery. A 24-hour gym is also available. Dining is exceptional, with award-winning chefs serving a fusion of international dishes and Sri Lankan flavours, using organic produce from the gardens or local markets.
Activities: Guests can explore beyond the hotel with guided rainforest hikes, cultural visits to temples and markets, or leisurely days on nearby golden beaches. Yoga sessions, spa therapies, and poolside relaxation ensure the pace is entirely your own.
Sustainability: Haritha Villas was built with sustainability at its core. Locally sourced and recycled materials were used in construction, green rooftops improve insulation and biodiversity, and much of the restaurant’s produce comes from the organic garden. The property’s eco-friendly ethos ensures a luxurious yet environmentally responsible stay.
