Bordering the Wilpattu National Park, this jungle hideaway has thatched-roof villas with private plunge pools
Wake to the sounds of birds tweeting before setting off on a 4x4 adventure in search of the island's iconic wildlife. After, retreat to Villu – where an infinity pool invites you for a sun-dappled dip and an open-air restaurant plates up local delights. Private chalets are tucked away amongst the trees, providing luxurious sanctuaries for post-safari naps, quiet reads on the terrace and cooling off in your very own plunge pool. Evenings are laid-back with lantern-lit meals in the jungle and cosy cocktails around the fire.
Why we love Taru Villa Villu
-
Its location couldn’t be better, just moments from Sri Lanka’s largest national park where you can get up close to leopards, elephants and incredible bird life.
-
A tranquil pool framed by lush greenery offers the perfect place to relax after a day of wildlife-watching.
-
Service here is exceptional with personalised menus and added extras like massages available on request.
-
Premier chalets are seriously ‘wow’ with private plunge pools and enough space for the whole gang.
Holidays with a little extra 'wow'
Rooms
There are two superior rooms and five chalets nestled within the lush landscapes with thatched roofs and huge windows that open onto jungle-facing decks. They’re all perfectly positioned to ensure ultimate privacy. Inside, the décor is chic with warm tones and wooden accents, creating a relaxing retreat after a day of exploration. All rooms and chalets come with their own terrace and glorious views, but for an extra special stay, we’d recommend the Premier Chalets – they’re twice the size and come with your own plunge pool.
Stunning rooms with a terrace area that becomes an extension of the room when the doors are opened wide.

Facilities
Dining at Villu is a memorable affair. Think star-lit meals in the wilderness and glasses of wine around a roaring fire. The open-air restaurant offers an indoor-outdoor dining experience with tables and chairs on wooden decks, enclosed by bamboo. Dishes are a mix of local and international, although staff can tailor to your tastes. But you can also dine elsewhere – whether that’s in the jungle or in the comfort of your room. The relaxing pool bar with comfy seating, perfect for refreshing cocktails between pool dips.
What's Included
Full Board • Breakfast, lunch and dinner at the restaurant
The spa experience at Taru Villas Villu is designed to be intimate and nature-inspired rather than a full-service spa facility. In-room or outdoor spa treatments*, allows you to enjoy pampering in privacy amidst the serene jungle setting. Treatments typically feature herbal-scented therapies that complement the eco-luxury vibe of the resort, creating a relaxing escape after wildlife adventures.
Please note there isn't a dedicated spa facility at the property but spa treatments can be organised in your room at an additional cost and need prior reservation.
There’s a beautiful infinity pool nestled amidst the jungle landscapes - the perfect spot for a pre or post safari swim.
The superior rooms sleep up to 3 and the chalets sleep up to 4 making them a great option for families.
