Monara Living

This villa is an ode to easy breezy seaside living. The villa makes the most of its elevated position above the shoreline, combining picture perfect sea views with easy beach access. Fittingly, the villa’s vast and ample rooms are decorated with hues mimicking the vibrant hues of the tropics: think azure sofas, sand-and-seafoam textiles, and aqua blue window frames.

Living Room

Monara boasts multiple lounges which make it very easy and fun to spend time together as a group. The main living room features a huge arrangement of sofas and armchairs; their blue and green hues perfectly echoed in the tropical views visible through the full wall windows. There is a smaller, more intimate lounge upstairs, complete with modern rattan sofas and those same sensational sea views. There is another fabulous lounge out on the balcony, not to mention the cosy setup in the poolside cabana. In short: you’ll always find a lounge area to suit your mood.

Dining Room

The dining room has a nice sense of occasion to it. Like most rooms in the villa, this light and luminous space is framed by large windows looking out to the ocean. The long timber dining table invites everyone to gather up for relaxed meals where no one is in a hurry, with dishes created by the villa’s chef.

Spa

Allow all your stress and tension to melt away in the villa’s spa room. This soothing space is fitted with a massage bed, allowing you to relax in full without even leaving the villa.

Garden & Pool

Monara is completely engulfed in lush tropical greenery, creating the feel of a hidden oasis. That impression is further played up by the villa’s enviably large swimming pool. When you’re not busy clocking laps, you can relax on one of the surrounding sun loungers or retreat to the nearby cabana for an indulgent break in the shade. The villa is graced by ample terraces, generous lawns, and gorgeous palm fringed views of the Indian Ocean.

    What an incredible place! We absolutely loved our time at Monara, delicious fresh food – the tuna tataki was amazing. The team were so friendly and helpful. The location is great with incredible views over the sea and a short walk away from the beach. We already can’t wait to come back to stay!

    This is a beautiful and serene villa with truly breathtaking views of the ocean. We stayed here for four nights and couldn’t recommend it highly enough — we were devastated to leave.

    The rooms themselves were immaculate, with possibly the comfiest bed I have ever slept on.

    The food was incredible. Breakfasts were plentiful, and for dinner we enjoyed some of the freshest and tastiest fish I’ve ever had.

    The staff were exceptionally helpful — they organised surf lessons for us and went out of their way to make our stay truly special, even setting up a romantic, candlelit dinner in the courtyard.

    Last but not least, the location is perfect: surrounded by nature, with the sound of the ocean helping you drift off to sleep at night. You’re only a few minutes’ walk from the secluded Hiru Beach, or a 15-minute walk over to the larger Mawella Beach. Evening options are also plentiful, with the villa situated directly between the restaurants and nightlife of Tangalle and Hiriketiya.

    Thank you to the whole team at Monara — you made our stay unforgettable.
