Why we love it
Imagine a luxury resort; picture the entire facilities exclusive to yourself. This is what Ani Villas creates. Created by by Reda Amalou and AW2 of Paris, this 15-suite estate aims to combine contemporary tropical architecture with beautiful bespoke furnishings, with comfort and ease a priority. At Ani Villas, the activities are endless with many of them at no additional charge, so indulge in anything from cooking classes, to personal training and aqua aerobics.
The estate is divided into two Villas, each with its own oceanfront pool, separate children’s pool and slide, bar, dining sala, library, cafe and games/TV room. Due to the exclusivity of the resort, it acts as the perfect venue for celebrations and events, with reception and dining facilities for up to 60 guests.

We had an amazing holiday in Sri Lanka. All the hotels, transfers, trips and experiences arranged by True Travel were perfect and all the arrangements went seamlessly according to plan. Our guide and driver, Thusita, was a really nice man and so knowledgeable, going out of his way to make sure that we experienced many of the Sri Lankan foods and traditions as possible. I would recommend True Travel to anyone especially if you have not visited the country before.
