Imagine Villa

Introduction

What immediately impresses you about Imagine Villa is the space. This confident Sri Lankan villa, built in contemporary-colonial style, spreads over a beautiful stretch of white-sand beach in Kamburugamuwa, on Mirissa's upmarket southern outskirts, benefiting from a time when coastal plots were relatively cheap and a property could spread itself without inhibitions. Here is a villa where you will feel unrestricted, whether relaxing in spacious public areas, swimming in a strikingly large pool for a property with nine rooms or chilling out in the smartly-tended gardens. A European owner takes pride in efficient and welcoming service and the restaurant possesses a quality that will make you reluctant to head elsewhere. A modern yet sophisticated villa with a great outlook, Imagine Villa is another highly-attractive option on Sri Lanka's south coast.

Facilities

A Belgian-Sri Lanka chef, with experience in big European hotels, produces a tempting fusion cuisine with Sri Lankan, SE Asian and Italian influences to the fore. There is normally a choice between a fish menu, a meat menu and a vegetarian menu, and meals are taken in the outdoor restaurant area. The infinity swimming pool with beach umbrellas is the centrepiece of a large lawned area by the beach.

Why we like it

We love the spacious beachside location and good food in this modern villa on the outskirts of Mirissa
