Tamarind Villa

Kelaniya

Situated in Kelaniya, 9.2 km from R Premadasa Stadium and 11 km from Khan Clock Tower, Tamarind Villa offers a garden and air conditioning.

P
Pubudu
From
Sri Lanka
Tamarind Villa is a seamless blend of modern luxury and timeless charm. The villa’s tasteful antique furniture exudes grandeur, beautifully complemented by contemporary amenities like air conditioning, a jacuzzi, a mini gym, and a fully equipped kitchen with the latest appliances. The spacious verandah is a highlight, offering a serene view of the lush, green lawn. It's the perfect spot to unwind with a cup of tea and embrace the slower pace of life. Despite its tranquil ambiance, the villa is conveniently located in the heart of Kelaniya, just a short distance from the iconic Kelaniya Temple. The breakfast we ordered was a delight—fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The staff stood out for their friendliness and attentiveness, ensuring our stay was comfortable. However there is a minor drawback. Finding the villa can be challenging as there is no board displaying its name. Adding clear directions or a visible sign board would greatly enhance the overall experience. Overall , Tamarind villa is an excellent retreat for anyone seeking a luxurious and peaceful getaway with a touch of history.

Taprobane was the most amazing hotel we stayed in during our trip in Sri Lanka. Staff went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. They were so smiley and welcoming and also looked after us so well! The hotel is new and extremely clean. The rooms are huge. The bed is lovely. The whole place is genuinely well made and maintained. Absolute gem of a hotel. We ordered room service the last night of our stay and the butter prawns were tremendous. We were pleasantly surprised to see the food being so on point too! If you are staying in Colombo this hotel is THE place to get some rest from the city bustle. Well done to everyone working there and special thanks to Deeptha for his support and efforts!

The accommodation has a stunning design, you could easily spend hours in the lobby just analyzing the beautiful collection of design objects. The pool is just perfect, the staff is very helpful. Everything is super clean, the breakfast is absolutely delicious, the bed is super-comfy, the garden is an oasis. For us, two adults and a 5 years old, this was the perfect way to start our adventure in Sri Lanka. Thank you.
