Sri Lanka presents a stunning tapestry of treasures – man-made and natural. The innate talent of its people in arts and crafts, festivals and costumes. Archaeological wonders are set against the sheer natural beauty of azure seas, sandy beaches, verdant hills, cascading waterfalls, a riot of flowers and fruits, spice gardens and tea estates. Everyday life here is a marvel for the visitor: craftsmen at work, gems being mined, tea leaves being plucked, elephants bathing in rivers or fishermen on stilts. This small paradise is the place to wander freely, and a villa in Sri Lanka gives you the freedom to break away to browse wayside markets, handicraft shops or batik factories. The opportunities are endless, from adventure sports to eco-tourism to just relaxing on the fine sand beaches.
