VILLA ALBA

Villa Alba defies expectations in the most stylish way imaginable. Amid Sri Lanka’s dreamy rice fields and lush foliage, the most likely suspect is a traditional timber abode or perhaps a boho chic villa. Instead, what you’ll discover is a sleek and modern dream house that beautifully juxtaposes its idyllic surroundings.

This magnificently minimal villa is perched on an enviable elevation and provides serene views of the paddy fields stretching as far as the eye can see from its seemingly endless windows. This setting is guaranteed to help soothe mind, body and soul alike. The elegant living areas and five chic bedrooms are all framed by full wall windows to make the most of those magical views.

Of course, the best place to drink in the scenery is the infinity pool that gazes over the rice fields. From this modern day oasis, it only takes moments to reach thrilling adventures and inspiring activities, from world class surfing to immersive tours of the neighbouring cinnamon plantations.

Villa Alba offers an irresistible fusion of sleek modern elegance and lush tropical living. The villa is built on a vantage point that gazes over picture perfect paddy fields stretching out into the distance. Waking up in one of the villa’s meticulously styled suites, you might just spot a peacock rambling amid the palm trees. While most villas would lean into the area’s bucolic ambiance, Villa Alba forgoes the traditional and the rustic and opts instead for a look that is sleek, modern and impossible to resist. Discovering this polished villa amid the Sri Lankan countryside feels like unearthing a true hidden gem, one that’s exclusively reserved for those in the know.

Living Room

The living room is an incredibly elegant space filled with natural light and luscious views of the surrounding nature. Full wall windows give this space a fresh modern feel that’s echoed in the streamlined furniture. A grey L-shaped sofa creates a stylish setting for relaxed mingling, with house plants and designer furniture adding to the eclectic elegance of the space. A white brick partition wall separates this seating area from a cosy library where guests can peruse the stocked bookshelves and get lost in a good story while relaxing on the grey sofa that’s piled high with plump pillows.

Dining Room

The dining area is a fluid extension of the light and spacious living room. The dining table with its beautifully rounded corners is surrounded by eight wicker chairs, with full wall windows revealing beautiful views of the pool and out to the surrounding rice fields. For a more luscious setting, there is also an intimate dining table out in the garden which is as suited for lazy breakfasts as it is for special barbecues when the garden is lit up by torches. The indoor dining area is flanked by a sleek open plan kitchen.

Garden

Villa Alba is surrounded by lush and verdant gardens where tropical trees hang heavy with exotic fruit. Guests can wander across the vast lawns and discover the vegetables, herbs and spices that grow on the property – the villa staff will be happy to introduce you to the local flora. At the heart of the property sits a magnificent 12-metre-long pool that feels like your own private jungle oasis, surrounded by lush greenery on all sides and gazing out to the mesmerizing paddy fields. The poolside deck is dotted with sun loungers and parasols – the perfect spot to soak up the sun while admiring those lush panoramas.

Villa Alba features five bedrooms. These are sleek contemporary suites styled with minimalist modern furniture, calm colours and subtle Sri Lankan touches. All rooms are framed by full wall windows and private terraces to maximize the views. They all feature king-sized beds and are adjoined by an ensuite bathroom each.

Villa Alba is a five-bedroom split level villa. As you enter the villa, you’re first greeted by the living and dining room which looks out to the 12-metre-long pool waiting right outside. Looking out towards the pool, there are two bedrooms to the right hand side and three to the left. From the poolside terrace, stairs lead down to the lawned garden area below.
