Straight out of a postcard, the grey-theme continues into the bedrooms at Villa Mawella. First, we have the master bedroom with a king-sized, four-poster bed fitted with modern amenities like TV, air-conditioning, wi-fi, etc. With glass doors and large windows, this whimsical bedroom is delightfully comforting to be in, especially if you’re looking for an intimate escape. The calming tones and underlying theme of the bedroom will ensure a good night’s rest. The master bedroom boats access to a private outdoor area fitted with a plunge pool! There is an en-suite bathroom as well with necessary amenities.
There are three double, en-suite bedrooms in the main house and two in the pool house. The sea-view room offers a stunning vantage point to enjoy a pleasant scenery, the veranda room leads to the gardens, and the pool house bedrooms have their own fully-furnished and comfy living area. Each bedroom is furnished with king-sized beds and has en-suite bathrooms.
An estate found at the end of a sandy road, Villa Mawella boasts of a vast garden area that is flush with natural foliage and dense groves casting shade upon the ground. Lie down leaning on a tree trunk, read a book, take a stroll along the gardens, or relax on the pool deck for a nice day out in the sun. The private swimming pools are another great communal spot for relaxation, as you swim laps and even play water games with other guests. There are sun beds for lounging and sunbathing for guests.

Featuring traditional intricate ceilings, a stunning vista of the ocean, and careful décor is the main living area of Villa Mawella. Muted lighting, a high-vaulted ceiling, and shades of white or grey add a cosy and homely ambiance to the room making it all the more inviting and relaxing. The plush, grey couches, antique cabinets, wooden side tables, and luxe décor compels you to feel utterly well-rested within these walls, as you lie back on the sofa and watch movies or television on the flat-screen. Everyone can gather in the living room for an evening of drinks and appetizers for a nice way to end the day!
With gorgeous marble flooring and a high-pitched ceiling, the fan-aired dining area at Villa Mawella is nothing short of magnificent with a ten-seater antique, wood dining table set with flair and crystal.

10/10We stayed at Taru Villas - Mawella in mid-September for two nights. We noticed a one or two less than complementary reviews on here and honestly we could not disagree more. From the moment we were welcomed at the gates by the manager and his team we knew we made the right choice. What a lovely place to spend a couple of days relaxing after a busy week of touring Sri Lanka. The stay and villa was perfect. We loved the location - right on Mawella beach which could have been out of a picture postcard. We quickly settled in to holiday mode. A quick snooze under the garden hammock, lazing by the pool and catching up on well needed sleep. Our bed and room was so comfortable it was difficult to get up on a few occasions. Luckily the staff told us there was no set time for breakfast! From teatime treats to lighting candles in the room at turndown, it was the little touches that made our stay so special. A mention must go to the food. The homemade banana granola at breakfast is highly recommended as are the cocktails! We would recommend Mawella in a heartbeat. We'll be back!
10/10We spent 3 nights here. Our first stay in a Taru property. Peaceful setting. Property is well maintained, rooms are comfortable and spacious. Direct access to a quiet and beautiful beach. Staff were very helpful, courteous and friendly. We had all our meals at the Villa except for one night.....delicious meals! Meals could be had either outside our room or at the main dining table....both were perfect setting. Massages were organized from outside and were brilliant! All in all a wonderful stay and we left completely relaxed and rested.
10/10We stayed there with our kids for the last 5 nights of our trip to Sri Lanka. Very relaxing atmosphere, great service and the good is delicious. Not so many things to do in the area, but the beach is beautiful and they have body boards to use for free. Ideal if you're looking for a quiet place with excellent service. We stayed at the pool house and felt like in a private villa. You even have a little bell to ring when you're hungry or thirsty;-)
