Haritha Villas & Spa in detail

Hotel

On Sri Lanka’s south-west coast, Haritha Villas & Spa sits on a hill amid lush tropical rainforest, just around 900 metres from the shimmering Indian Ocean. This distinctive retreat is an intimate villa resort with just nine exclusive accommodations. Here, the calm of the greenery and the energy of the Hikkaduwa coast come together in perfect harmony. The architectural masterpiece bears the signature of renowned British architect Gary Fell: clean, contemporary lines meet subtle colonial touches, creating an interplay of space, light and nature that exudes elegance. From the villas, views stretch across treetops and rice fields. Despite the open outlook, the resort offers a welcome sense of privacy and intimacy. Its name, “Haritha” — Sinhalese for “nature” or “green” — perfectly reflects the philosophy of this luxurious retreat. Local materials and non-toxic paints were consciously chosen from the outset. This blend of design, nature and responsibility has earned international recognition: Condé Nast Traveler and CNN Travel count Haritha Villas & Spa among Sri Lanka’s most stylish addresses.

Location & Surroundings

Hikkaduwa is a paradise for beach lovers and adventurers on Sri Lanka’s south-west coast. This picturesque coastal town is known for its lively coral reefs, beautiful sandy beaches and relaxed atmosphere, making it ideal for travellers who want to enjoy the sun, sea and nature. Snorkelling and diving in the clear water offer fascinating glimpses of the colourful underwater world, while surfers can make the most of the excellent waves. Hikkaduwa also boasts a lively seafront lined with restaurants, small shops and an authentic taste of Sri Lankan culture. It’s a place where relaxation and adventure go hand in hand.

Food & Drink

At the semi-open-air restaurant The View, the focus is on the finest, freshest ingredients. Herbs and vegetables come from the hotel’s own garden, while the kitchen team personally selects the fish at the local market each morning, choosing the day’s catch at its freshest. The result is exquisite cuisine that weaves Sri Lankan flavours together with international influences, guided by a wholehearted farm-to-table approach. Dine in the elegant restaurant or on the outdoor terrace overlooking the Infinity Pool. Choose from the à la carte menu, enjoy spontaneous Unscripted Dining, with dishes chosen to suit your mood, or savour a personalised menu recommended by the spa or Ayurvedic doctor. During the day, the lounge and pool bar invite you to unwind with refined drinks, creative signature cocktails from our Master Mixologist – including the house-made Haritha Colada – and homemade ice cream. As night falls, the open-sided Sala Sala pavilion becomes an atmospheric gathering place where guests can admire the starry sky beneath its glass roof. For a particularly special dining experience, arrange a private dinner in the rice fields or in your own villa, or take part in a tailored cooking class. Please let us know in advance about any food intolerances, and these will of course be taken into account.

Wellness & Spa

Haritha Jungle Spa, covering around 350 square metres, is a peaceful retreat dedicated to rest and relaxation. Spread over two levels, it offers picturesque views of an idyllic lake and the hotel’s own tea plantation, providing a welcome escape from everyday life. The focus is on personalised wellness and Ayurveda treatments, led by two qualified Ayurvedic doctors. An experienced team comprising a spa manager, a yoga teacher and several therapists ensures professional care. The four treatment rooms, with floor-to-ceiling windows opening onto the surrounding nature, bring natural light, fresh air and the gentle sounds of the garden into the wellness experience. The spa also features a Jacuzzi, steam room, herbal bath, sauna, experience showers, a Vichy shower and a lounge. The wide range of treatments includes traditional Ayurveda treatments, as well as techniques such as acupuncture, acupressure, cupping and singing bowl treatments, alongside beauty treatments. Natural products are used wherever possible, many of them made in-house or sourced directly from the region. This holistic spa experience at Haritha Jungle Spa promises rest and renewal for body and mind.

Pool area

The spacious Infinity Pool (approx. 20 x 5 m) at Haritha Villas & Spa is set amid lush tropical vegetation, creating an elegant setting for moments of relaxation. Surrounded by the rich greenery of the jungle, guests can enjoy leisurely hours in the sun, refreshing swims and an exceptional sense of seclusion and comfort.

Leisure

Guests who want to stay active during their stay can use the fitness centre, which is open around the clock. A dedicated platform for yoga and meditation offers breathtaking views of the lake. Meditation sessions at a nearby monastery can also be arranged on request. The beach is just a few minutes away and easy to reach with the complimentary tuk-tuk shuttle service. Guests of the resort have their own sun loungers there. The sea offers opportunities for swimming, snorkelling, diving and surfing. The personal Villa Master will be happy to arrange excursions on request (for a fee), from whale watching and jungle walks to boat trips through the mangroves of Balapitiya. There are plenty of ways to discover the region. Cultural attractions are also within easy reach, including historic Galle Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Virgin White Tea Estate in Koggala and Hikkaduwa’s moonstone mines.
