Set within a sun-dappled mango plantation in the heart of Sri Lanka’s cultural triangle, Villa Mankani is the kind of place that invites you to exhale deeply, kick off your shoes, and forget what day it is. This peaceful hideaway near Dambulla offers four rustic-luxe chalets nestled among swaying trees and birdsong, with nothing but nature for neighbours.

Each chalet—named after native trees like Mara, Tamarind, Paddy and Sandalwood—offers a private entrance, cozy sitting areas, en-suite bathrooms, and a blend of traditional Sri Lankan charm and modern comfort. Picture morning coffee on your veranda, the hum of cicadas in the background, and views across emerald-green foliage as the day slowly stirs to life.

Spend your afternoons lounging by the secluded pool, tucking into chef-prepared local and international dishes, or venturing out to nearby wonders like Sigiriya Rock Fortress or the famed Dambulla Cave Temple—all just a tuk-tuk ride away. Come evening, the air turns cooler, the plantation lights up with fireflies, and the only decision left is whether to dine under the stars or in the breezy pavilion.

With personalised service, heartfelt hospitality, and a setting that feels like your own secret garden, Villa Mankani is a soulful retreat that captures the slower, softer side of Sri Lanka.
