Oceans Edge

Oceans Edge sits on the fringe of Kahandamodera village, near Rekawa, about 16 kilometres east of Tangalle, within 23 acres of private grounds looking out over the Indian Ocean. It is a secluded, beachfront setting away from the town itself, with the sound of the sea rather than traffic.

The villa's four air-conditioned bedrooms have polished cement floors, high vaulted ceilings and four-poster beds, with views over the garden, swimming pool and ocean. Rooms are offered as Standard, Superior and Deluxe, and can be booked on Room Only, Bed and Breakfast, Half Board or Full Board terms.

• A jade-green outdoor pool with timber decking and sunbeds set in the garden
• Wraparound verandas on both levels for sitting out in the sea breeze
• An on-site chef preparing local and international dishes
• Complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the property
• An air-conditioned TV room with DVD player, games and books
• A villa manager, chef, housekeepers and security staff on hand

Rekawa Turtle Sanctuary is around 12 kilometres away, Kalametiya Bird Sanctuary about 3 kilometres, Mulkirigala Rock Temple roughly 27 kilometres, and Yala National Park some 75 kilometres away for a day trip in search of leopards and elephants.
