Bougainvillea Retreat Living

With its tiled roofs and rustic stone elements, Bougainvillea Retreat harks back to the fabled villas of Tuscany. But just as the name suggests, the villa has its roots in the tropics: everywhere you turn, there is lush green beauty to marvel at. Perched on a hilltop away from the crowds, the villa is luxuriously spacious and blissfully private. You feel like the only people in the world in the best possible way.

Living Room

The living room is a warm and welcoming place to have fun as a group. Fronted by glass doors opening to the poolside terrace, the room features a generous arrangement of sofas and a pool table for friendly games or full-on tournaments. Vibrant pops of colour nod to the villa’s tropical moniker.

Dining Room

The dining area is incorporated to the living room, allowing guests to mingle uninterrupted throughout the day. The same space also includes a fun bar counter where you can all gather during happy hour. There is also a lovely dining area by the pool where you can enjoy fabulous meals and equally gorgeous views.

    This is a lovely villa next to the golfclub. Especially the chef is worth mentioning. Very nice and his food is excellent.

    We spent three nights in this beautiful and peaceful villa, nestled at the foot of the Knuckles Mountains. We had a cozy bungalow and were exceptionally well looked after by the staff. The entire property is very well-maintained and invites you to a relaxing stay.

    The food, including breakfast, was wonderful and prepared according to Ayurvedic principles. It’s simply a stylish villa.

    A really special place beautifully furnished. We were thoroughly spoiled by Shannon’s wonderful food and hosted to perfection as their only guests! It was truly wonderful. A little out of Kandy but worth the journey.

    What an absolute gem! Situated in a beautiful natural setting. The staff are incredibly attentive—what more could you ask for? They proactively think along with you about how to make your holiday even better. The food is good, and the breakfast is particularly excellent. A perfect example for such hotels.

    Such a unique and exceptional experience! As foodies, we were extremely impressed by the food and the personalized experience we received from Shannon! We even brought him a jackfruit that he cooked into a delicious curry 🤤 and packed the leftovers for our day out! The service, in general, was great – we arrived at 6:30 and we were welcomed by the manager and they quickly arranged our room even though we were supposed to arrive at 8:00. Highly recommend this place if you are looking for something different!

    You can relax 100% and then jump into the pool at regular intervals.
    Very friendly and accommodating staff who discreetly ensured that the stay was a success.
    And there is a golf course almost in the backyard.

    I actually don’t know where to start, we left today and I feel homesick. This place was just utterly divine and we were so lucky to spend a few nights here. Nothing in Sri Lanka can compare! As soon as you walk in you are welcomed and made to feel like home, it really was just the perfect oasis surrounded by beauty! It rained throughout our entire stay but that did not dampen our thoughts, I totally fell in love with this place and can’t wait to return. PLUS there are the most adorable animals, incredible food! Amazing service, beautiful rooms and exceptional hostes. They also catered to all our needs, I would have stayed much longer if I had known! Thank you so much to everyone and hope to see you soon xxx
