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 Big Five. 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.
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.
